Acts 13:44-52 - Paul Turns To The Gentiles
44 On the next Sabbath almost the entire city was gathered together to know the word of God. 45 When they saw the crowds, the Jews were filled with jealousy, and began to contradict Paul's statements, and to abuse him.
46 So Paul and Barnabas spoke out boldly. "It was necessary," they said, "first to proclaim the word of God to you. But since you push it away from you, and judge yourselves unworthy of eternal life, lo, we turn to the Gentiles. 47 "For such is God's command to us, saying, "I have set thee for a light to the Gentiles, That thou shouldest be for salvation to the uttermost part of the earth."
48 When the Gentiles heard this, they were glad, and glorified the word of the Lord, and all who had been ordained to eternal life, believed. 49 So the Lord's message went far and wide, through the whole district. 50 But the Jews urged on the devout women of high rank, and the leading citizens, and stirred up a persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and drove them out of the district, 51 But they shook off the dust of their feet against them, and came to Iconium. 52 As for the disciples, they were continually filled with joy, and with the Holy Spirit.
