Acts 13:42-52 - Response To The Message In Pisidian Antioch
42 And, as they were going out, they kept beseeching him that these words might be spoken to them on the next sabbath. 43 And, the synagogue having been dismissed, many of the Jews and of the devout proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas; who, indeed, speaking to them, were persuading them to continue in the grace of God.
44 And, on the next sabbath, almost the whole city was gathered together to hear the word of God. 45 But the Jews, seeing the multitudes, were filled with jealousy, and contradicted the things spoken by Paul, blaspheming.
46 Speaking boldly, both Paul and Barnabas said, "It was necessary that the word of God should first be spoken to you. Inasmuch as ye thrust it away from you, and judge yourselves unworthy of eternal life, behold, we turn to the gentiles; 47 for so hath the Lord commanded us, 'I have set Thee for a Light of the gentiles, that Thou mayest be for salvation to the uttermost part of the earth.'"
48 And the gentiles, having heard it, were rejoicing, and glorifying the word of God; and as many as had been appointed to eternal life believed. 49 And the word of the Lord was being spread abroad through that whole country. 50 But the Jews urged on the devout and reputable women, and the principal men of the city, and stirred up persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and cast them out of their borders; 51 and they, having shaken off the dust of their feet against them, came to Iconium. 52 And the disciples were being filled with joy and the Holy Spirit.
