Acts 13:41-51

41 ¹"'Look, you scoffers, be astounded and perish; for I am doing a work in your days, a work that you will not believe, even if one tells it to you.'"

42 As they went out, the people begged that these things might be told them the next Sabbath.

43 And after the meeting of the synagogue broke up, many Jews and ²devout ³converts to Judaism followed Paul and Barnabas, who, as they spoke with them, urged them ⁴to continue in ⁵the grace of God.

44 The next Sabbath almost the whole city gathered to hear the word of the Lord.

45 ⁶But ⁷when the Jews saw the crowds, they were filled with ⁸jealousy and began to contradict what was spoken by Paul, ⁹reviling him.

46 And Paul and Barnabas spoke out boldly, saying, "It was necessary that the word of God ¹⁰be spoken first to you. ¹¹Since you thrust it aside and judge yourselves ¹²unworthy of eternal life, behold, we ¹³are turning to the Gentiles.

47 ¹⁴For so the Lord has commanded us, saying, ¹⁵"'I have made you ¹⁶a light for the Gentiles, that you may ¹⁷bring salvation to the ends of the earth.'"

48 And when the Gentiles heard this, they began rejoicing and ¹⁸glorifying the word of the Lord, and as many as were appointed to eternal life believed.

49 And the word of the Lord was spreading throughout the whole region.

50 ¹⁹But the Jews incited the devout ²⁰women of high standing and the leading men of the city, ²¹stirred up persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and ²²drove them out of their district.

51 But they ²³shook off the dust from their feet against them and went to Iconium.
