Acts 13:42-52 - Response To The Message In Pisidian Antioch

42 And as they went out from the synagogue of the Jews, the Gentiles urged that these sayings be spoken to them the next Sabbath. 43 Now after the synagogue was dismissed, many of the Jews and of the devout proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas, who, while conversing, persuaded them to continue in the grace of God.

44 And on the coming Sabbath almost all the city was assembled to hear the word of God. 45 But when the Jews saw the multitudes, they were filled of envy, and contradicted the things spoken by Paul, contradicting and slandering.

46 But having spoken boldly, Paul and Barnabas said, It was necessary for the word of God to be spoken first to you, but since ye thrust it away, and judge yourselves unworthy of eternal life, lo, we turn to the Gentiles. 47 For so the Lord has commanded us: I have placed thee for a light of Gentiles, for thee to be for salvation as far as the extremity of the earth.

48 And hearing this, the Gentiles were glad and glorified the word of the Lord. And as many as were appointed for eternal life believed. 49 And the word of the Lord was spread abroad through the whole region. 50 But the Jews incited the religious women, and the prominent women, and the principle men of the city, and raised up a persecution against Paul and Barnabas. And they threw them out of their boundaries. 51 But after shaking off the dust of their feet against them, they came to Iconium. 52 And the disciples were filled with joy and Holy Spirit.
