Acts 13:13-41 - Preaching In The Synagogue At Pisidian Antioch
13 And those around Paul having sailed from Paphos, came into Perge of Pamphylia: and John having departed from them returned to Jerusalem. 14 And they having come from Perge, arrived into Picidian Antioch, and having come into the synagogue on the Sabbath day, they sat down. 15 And after the reading of the law and the prophets, the chief rulers of the synagogue sent to them, saying, Men, brethren, if there is any word of consolation to the people in you, speak.
16 And Paul, rising up, and beckoning with his hand said; Israelitish men, and those fearing God, hear. 17 The God of this people Israel chose our fathers, and exalted the people during their sojourn in the land of Egypt, and with a strong arm led them out of it; 18 and when he supported them about the time of forty years in the wilderness, 19 and having destroyed seven nations in the land of Canaan, he gave them the inheritance of the land about four hundred and fifty years. 20 And after these things he gave them judges, till Samuel the prophet. 21 And then they asked for a king: and God gave them Saul the son of Kish, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, forty years; 22 and having deposed him, he raised up to them David for a king; to whom witnessing he also said, I have found David the son of Jesse, a man according to my own heart, who will do all my wishes.
23 From whose seed according to the promise he led forth Jesus, the Savior, to Israel: 24 and John having preached the baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel, before the face of his coming. 25 And when John fulfilled his course, he said, What do you consider me to be? I am not he: but, behold, there comes one after me, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to loose.
26 Men, brethren, sons of the race of Abraham, and those among you fearing God, unto us the word of this salvation was sent. 27 For those dwelling in Jerusalem, and the rulers, having rejected him, condemning him, have 28 fulfilled the voices of the prophets which are read every Sabbath; and having found no cause of death, asked Pilate that he should be executed; 29 and when they perfected all the things which had been written concerning him, taking him down from the cross, placed him in a sepulchre. 30 And God raised him from the dead; 31 who appeared to those coming up with him to Jerusalem from Galilee many days, who are now his witnesses to the people. 32 And we preach unto you the promise, which was made to the fathers, 33 that God has fulfilled this unto our children, raising up Jesus, as in the second Psalm it has been written, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee.
34 And because he raised him up from the dead, no longer about to return to corruption, He has thus said, I will give unto you the faithful mercies of David. 35 Therefore He also says in another place, Thou wilt not suffer thy Holy One to see corruption. 36 For David, indeed having served his own generation according to the will of God, went to sleep, and did see corruption: 37 but he, whom God raised up, did not see corruption. 38 Then let it be known unto you, men brethren, that through this one remission of sins is preached: 39 and in him every one believing is justified from all things from which ye were not able to be justified by the law of Moses. 40 Then beware, lest the word which has been spoken by the prophets may come upon you;
41 Behold, ye despisers, and wonder, and vanish away: because I work a work in your days, a work which you may not believe, though one may proclaim it to you.
