Acts 13:42-52 - Response To The Message In Pisidian Antioch
42 But when the Jews were going out of the synagogue, the Gentiles entreated that these words might be spoken to them the following sabbath. 43 And when the synagogue was dismissed, many of the Jews and of the devout proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas: who, exhorting them, persuaded them to abide stedfast in the grace of God.
44 And on the next sabbath almost all the city thronged together to hear the word of God. 45 But the Jews seeing the multitude, were filled with envy, and opposed the things spoken by Paul, contradicting and reviling.
46 Then Paul and Barnabas speaking with undaunted boldness, said, It was necessary that the word of God should be first spoken unto you: but since ye have thrust it from you, and judged yourselves not worthy of eternal life, lo! we turn to the Gentiles. 47 For so hath the Lord enjoined us, "I have set thee for a light of the Gentiles, that thou mightest be for salvation unto the extremity of the earth."
48 Now when the Gentiles heard this, they rejoiced, and glorified the word of the Lord: and they believed, even as many as were ordained to life eternal. 49 So the word of the Lord was diffused through the whole region. 50 Then the Jews stirred up the devout women, and those who were respectable, and the principal persons of the city, and raised up a persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and cast them out of their borders. 51 But they, shaking off the dust of their feet against them, came to Iconium. 52 And the disciples were filled with joy, and with the Holy Ghost.
