Paul's Mission in Pisidian Antioch

Acts 13:13-52

Chapter 13
13 But after setting sail from Paphos, those with Paul came to Perge in Pamphylia; but John left them and returned to Jerusalem. 14 But they, having passed through from Perga, arrived at Pisidian Antioch. And having entered the synagogue on the Sabbath, they sat down. 15 But after the reading of the Law and of the prophets, the rulers of the synagogue sent to them, saying, "Men, brothers, if there is among you any word of consolation for the people, speak." 16 But Paul stood up and motioned with his hand. He said, "Men of Israel and you who fear God, listen." 17 The God of this people Israel chose our fathers and exalted the people during their sojourning in the land of Egypt, and with a high arm led them out from it. 18 and, as he put up with them for forty years in the wilderness, 19 And having overthrown seven nations in the land of Canaan, he apportioned their land to them by lot. 20 for four hundred and fifty years. And after these things he gave them judges until Samuel the prophet. 21 And from there they asked for a king, and God gave them Saul son of Kish, a man from the tribe of Benjamin, for forty years. 22 And having removed him, he raised up David for them as king, to whom also he testified: "I have found David the son of Jesse, a man according to my heart, who will do all my will." 23 Of this man God, according to the promise, brought to Israel a Savior, Jesus, 24 John had previously proclaimed, before his coming, a baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel. 25 As John was completing his course, he said: "What do you suppose me to be? I am not he. But look, there comes after me one of whom I am not worthy to untie the sandal of his feet." 26 Men, brothers, sons of the race of Abraham and those among you who fear God, to us the word of this salvation has been sent. 27 For the ones dwelling in Jerusalem and their rulers, having ignored this one and the voices of the prophets—the ones read every Sabbath—having judged him fulfilled. 28 and having found no cause of death, they asked Pilate to do away with him 29 When they had fulfilled everything that had been written about him, they took him down from the tree and laid him in a tomb. 30 But God raised him from the dead. 31 who was seen over more days by those who went up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who now are his witnesses to the people. 32 And we bring you the good news: the promise to the fathers has come. 33 that God has fulfilled this to our children by raising Jesus, as it is also written in the second Psalm: "You are my Son; today I have begotten you." 34 But he raised him from the dead, no longer to return to corruption. He has said in this way: "I will give you the holy things of David the faithful." 35 because he also says elsewhere, "You will not let your holy one see corruption." 36 For David indeed, having served his own generation by the counsel of God, fell asleep, was added to his fathers, and saw corruption. 37 but whom God raised, he did not see corruption. 38 Let it be known to you, men brothers, that through this one forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you, and from all things from which you were not able in the Law of Moses to be justified. 39 Through him everyone who believes is justified. 40 Therefore take care that what the prophets have said does not come upon you. 41 See, you despisers, and marvel and vanish away, because I am working a work in your days, a work that you will by no means believe if someone tells it to you. 42 Now as they were going out, they urged that on the intervening Sabbath these words be spoken to them. 43 But after the synagogue had been dismissed, many of the Jews and of the worshiping proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas, who, speaking to them, were persuading them to continue in the grace of God. 44 But on the coming Sabbath almost the whole city gathered together to hear the word of the Lord. 45 But when they saw the crowds, the Jews were filled with jealousy and contradicted the things Paul was saying, blaspheming. 46 Speaking boldly, both Paul and Barnabas said, "It was necessary for the word of God to be spoken to you first. Since you are pushing it away and do not judge yourselves worthy of eternal life, we are turning to the Gentiles." 47 For in this way the Lord has commanded us: "I have set you as a light to the nations, for you to be for salvation to the end of the earth." 48 And the nations, hearing this, rejoiced and glorified the word of the Lord, and as many as were appointed to eternal life believed. 49 But the word of the Lord was spreading throughout the whole region. 50 But the Jews incited the God-fearing women of high standing and the leading men of the city, and they stirred up persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and expelled them from their region. 51 But they shook the dust off their feet against them and came to Iconium. 52 And the disciples were filled with joy and the Holy Spirit.
