Acts 13:44-52 - Paul Turns To The Gentiles
44 Nearly the entire city gathered the next Sabbath day to hear the word of God. 45 When the Jews saw the crowds they were filled with envy. They spoke against those things Paul spoke. They contradicted and blasphemed him.
46 Paul and Barnabas became very bold, and said: It was necessary that the Word of God should first be spoken to you. But seeing you reject it you judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting life! Therefore we turn to the people of the nations. 47 Jehovah commanded us with these words: I appoint you as a light to the nations. My salvation will come to the ends of the earth. (Isaiah 49:6)
48 And when the people of the nations heard this, they were glad, and glorified the word of God. As many as were receptive to eternal life believed. 49 The word of God (Greek: kurios: God) was published throughout the entire region. 50 The Jews incited the devout and honorable women and the leading men of the city. They caused persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and expelled them from their coasts. 51 So they shook the dust from their feet against them, and went to Iconium. 52 The disciples were filled with joy and with the Holy Spirit.
