Antioch » A city in syria
Antioch » A city » A city of pisidia. Persecutes paul
The God of this people chose our fathers, and raised up the people in the exile in the land of Egypt, and brought them out of it with a high arm. And when he had borne with their conduct forty years in the wilderness, and had destroyed seven nations in the land of Canaan, he distributed their land to them by lot. And after this he gave judges four hundred and fifty years till Samuel the prophet. And then they asked for a king, and God gave them Saul the son Kish, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, forty years; and removing him, he raised up for them David for a king, of whom also he said and testified, I have found David, the son of Jesse, a man after my heart, who will do all my will. Of the posterity of this man, according to his promise, has God raised up to Israel a Saviour, Jesus; John having preached before his coming the baptism of a change of mind to all the people of Israel. And when John completed his course, he said, Who do you suppose I am? I am not [the Christ]; but behold, there comes after me one the sandal of whose feet I am not worthy to untie. Men and brothers, children of the race of Abraham, and you that fear God, the word of this salvation is sent to you. For those living at Jerusalem, and their rulers, not knowing him and the words of the prophets which are read every sabbath, fulfilled them by condemning [him]; and [although] they found no cause of death [in him], they requested of Pilate that he might be destroyed; and when they had performed all things written of him, they took him down from the cross and placed him in a tomb. But God raised him from the dead, and he appeared many days to those who went up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are now his witnesses to the people. And we declare to you the good news of the promise made to the fathers, that God has fulfilled this to us their children in raising up Jesus, as it is written also in the first psalm, You are my son, to-day have I begotten you. And that he raised him from the dead never more to return to destruction, he said thus; I will give you the sure promises of David. Wherefore also in another place he says, Thou wilt not suffer thy holy one to see destruction. For David, having in his generation served the will of God, fell asleep, and was gathered to his fathers and saw destruction; but he whom God raised up saw not destruction. Be it known to you therefore, men and brothers, that through this man is preached to you the forgiveness of sins, and every one who believes is justified by him from all things from which you could not be justified by the law of Moses. See then that what is said by the prophets does not come upon you; Behold, despisers, and wonder and perish, for I perform a work in your days, a work which you shall by no means believe even if one declares it to you. And when they had gone out, [the people] requested that these words might be spoken to them on the next sabbath. And the congregation being dismissed, many of the Jews and pious proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas, who gave them additional instructions, and persuaded them to continue in the grace of God. And on the following sabbath almost all the city came together to hear the word of the Lord. And the Jews seeing the multitudes were filled with envy, and contradicted the things said by Paul, disputing and blaspheming. And both Paul and Barnabas speaking boldly said, It was necessary that the word of God should first be spoken to you; but since you cast it away, and judge yourselves unworthy of eternal life, behold, we turn to the gentiles. For thus has the Lord commanded us; I have set you for a light of nations, that you should be a salvation even to the end of the earth. And the gentiles hearing this rejoiced and glorified the word of the Lord, and as many as were appointed to eternal life believed; and the word of the Lord was spread through all the country. But the Jews excited the pious and honorable women, and the first men of the city, and raised a persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and cast them out from their limits. And shaking off the dust of their feet against them, they went to Iconium; and the disciples were filled with joy and the Holy Spirit.
confirming the souls of the disciples, and exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that through many afflictions we must enter into the kingdom of God.

And when they came to Jerusalem they were received by the church, and the apostles, and the elders, and related what things God had done with them. But some of those of the sect of the Pharisees who had believed, rose and said, that it is necessary to circumcise them, and to command them to keep the law of Moses. And the apostles and elders were assembled together to see about this matter. And after there had been much debate, Peter rose and said to them, Men and brothers, you know that in former days God chose among you that the gentiles should hear by my mouth the word of the gospel and believe. And the heart-searching God testified to them, giving to them the Holy Spirit even as to us, and made no difference between us and them, purifying their hearts by the faith. Now, therefore, why do you try God, to put on the necks of the disciples a yoke which neither our fathers nor we could bear? But we believe that we shall be saved through the grace of the Lord Jesus in the same manner as they. And all the multitude was silent, and heard Barnabas and Paul relate what miracles and prodigies God performed among the gentiles through them. And after they were silent, James answered, saying, Men and brothers, hear me. Simeon has related how God first visited the gentiles to take a people for his name. And with this agree the words of the prophets, as it is written, After this will I return and build up the tabernacle of David which had fallen down, and rebuild its ruins, and set it up, that the rest of men may seek the Lord, even all the nations on whom my name has been called, says the Lord who does these things, known from eternity. Wherefore I judge that we ought not to trouble those who turned to God from the gentiles, but to send to them to abstain from things sacrificed to idols, and fornication, and things strangled, and blood. For Moses from ancient times has those who preach him in every city, being read in the synagogues every sabbath. Then it seemed good to the apostles and elders, with all the assembly [the church], to send delegates from themselves to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas, Judas called Barsabbas, and Silas, leading men among the brothers, writing by their hand, The apostles and elders and brothers, to the brothers in Antioch and Syria and Cilicia, who are of the gentiles, greeting. Since we heard that some going out from us have troubled you with words subverting your souls, to whom we gave no charge, it seemed good to us, being of one opinion, to send delegates to you with our beloved Barnabas and Paul, men who have hazarded their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. We have sent, therefore, Judas and Silas, and they will tell you the same things by word. For it seemed good to the Holy Spirit, and to us, to put no greater burden upon you except these necessary things; that you should abstain from things sacrificed to idols, and blood, and things strangled, and fornication, from which if you keep yourselves you will do well. Farewell. They, therefore, being dismissed went to Antioch, and assembling the multitude delivered the epistle. And reading it they rejoiced at the exhortation. And Judas and Silas being themselves also prophets, exhorted the brothers with much argument, and confirmed them. And having staid [some] time, they were dismissed in peace by the brothers to those that sent them. (Added verse not retained in Sawyer) But Paul and Barnabas remained at Antioch, teaching and preaching with many others the word of the Lord.

And a report concerning them was brought to the ears of the church at Jerusalem, and they sent Barnabas to go as far as Antioch; who having come and seen the grace of God rejoiced, and exhorted all to adhere to the Lord with the purpose of the heart; for he was a good man and full of the Holy Spirit and of faith.

And he was with them, and they met a whole year with the church and taught a great multitude; and the disciples first took the name of Christians at Antioch.

And each of the disciples, according to his ability, determined to send help to the brethren living in Judea; which they also did, sending to the elders by the hand of Barnabas and Saul.
