Acts 13

New Century Version NCV

1 In the church at Antioch there were these prophets and teachers: Barnabas, Simeon (also called Niger), Lucius (from the city of Cyrene), Manaen (who had grown up with Herod, the ruler), and Saul.

2 They were all worshiping the Lord and giving up eating for a certain time. During this time the Holy Spirit said to them, "Set apart for me Barnabas and Saul to do a special work for which I have chosen them."

3 So after they gave up eating and prayed, they laid their hands onn Barnabas and Saul and sent them out.

4 Barnabas and Saul, sent out by the Holy Spirit, went to the city of Seleucia. From there they sailed to the island of Cyprus.

5 When they came to Salamis, they preached the Good News of God in the Jewish synagogues. John Mark was with them to help.

6 They went across the whole island to Paphos where they met a Jewish magician named Bar-Jesus. He was a false prophet

7 who always stayed close to Sergius Paulus, the governor and a smart man. He asked Barnabas and Saul to come to him, because he wanted to hear the message of God.

8 But Elymas, the magician, was against them. (Elymas is the name for Bar-Jesus in the Greek language.) He tried to stop the governor from believing in Jesus.

9 But Saul, who was also called Paul, was filled with the Holy Spirit. He looked straight at Elymas

10 and said, "You son of the devil! You are an enemy of everything that is right! You are full of evil tricks and lies, always trying to change the Lord's truths into lies.

11 Now the Lord will touch you, and you will be blind. For a time you will not be able to see anything -- not even the light from the sun." Then everything became dark for Elymas, and he walked around, trying to find someone to lead him by the hand.

12 When the governor saw this, he believed because he was amazed at the teaching about the Lord.

13 Paul and those with him sailed from Paphos and came to Perga, in Pamphylia. There John Mark left them to return to Jerusalem.

14 They continued their trip from Perga and went to Antioch, a city in Pisidia. On the Sabbath day they went into the synagogue and sat down.

15 After the law of Moses and the writings of the prophets were read, the leaders of the synagogue sent a message to Paul and Barnabas: "Brothers, if you have any message that will encourage the people, please speak."

16 Paul stood up, raised his hand, and said, "You Israelites and you who worship God, please listen!

17 The God of the Israelites chose our ancestors. He made the people great during the time they lived in Egypt, and he brought them out of that country with great power.

18 And he was patient with them for forty years in the desert.

19 God destroyed seven nations in the land of Canaan and gave the land to his people.

20 All this happened in about four hundred fifty years. "After this, God gave them judges until the time of Samuel the prophet.

21 Then the people asked for a king, so God gave them Saul son of Kish. Saul was from the tribe of Benjamin and was king for forty years.

22 After God took him away, God made David their king. God said about him: 'I have found in David son of Jesse the kind of man I want. He will do all I want him to do.'

23 So God has brought Jesus, one of David's descendants, to Israel to be its Savior, as he promised.

24 Before Jesus came, Johnn preached to all the people of Israel about a baptism of changed hearts and lives.

25 When he was finishing his work, he said, 'Who do you think I am? I am not the Christ. He is coming later, and I am not worthy to untie his sandals.'

26 "Brothers, sons of the family of Abraham, and those of you who are not Jews who worship God, listen! The news about this salvation has been sent to us.

27 Those who live in Jerusalem and their leaders did not realize that Jesus was the Savior. They did not understand the words that the prophets wrote, which are read every Sabbath day. But they made them come true when they said Jesus was guilty.

28 They could not find any real reason for Jesus to be put to death, but they asked Pilate to have him killed.

29 When they had done to him all that the Scriptures had said, they took him down from the cross and laid him in a tomb.

30 But God raised him up from the dead!

31 After this, for many days, those who had gone with Jesus from Galilee to Jerusalem saw him. They are now his witnesses to the people.

32 We tell you the Good News about the promise God made to our ancestors.

33 God has made this promise come true for us, his children, by raising Jesus from the dead. We read about this also in Psalm 'You are my Son. Today I have become your Father.'

34 God raised Jesus from the dead, and he will never go back to the grave and become dust. So God said: 'I will give you the holy and sure blessings that I promised to David.'

35 But in another place God says: 'You will not let your Holy One rot.'

36 David did God's will during his lifetime. Then he died and was buried beside his ancestors, and his body did rot in the grave.

37 But the One God raised from the dead did not rot in the grave.

38

39 Brothers, understand what we are telling you: You can have forgiveness of your sins through Jesus. The law of Moses could not free you from your sins. But through Jesus everyone who believes is free from all sins.

40 Be careful! Don't let what the prophets said happen to you:

41 'Listen, you people who doubt! You can wonder, and then die. I will do something in your lifetime that you won't believe even when you are told about it!'"

42 While Paul and Barnabas were leaving the synagogue, the people asked them to tell them more about these things on the next Sabbath.

43 When the meeting was over, many Jews and those who had changed to the Jewish religion and who worshiped God followed Paul and Barnabas from that place. Paul and Barnabas were persuading them to continue trusting in God's grace.

44 On the next Sabbath day, almost everyone in the city came to hear the word of the Lord.

45 Seeing the crowd, the Jewish people became very jealous and said insulting things and argued against what Paul said.

46 But Paul and Barnabas spoke very boldly, saying, "We must speak the message of God to you first. But you refuse to listen. You are judging yourselves not worthy of having eternal life! So we will now go to the people of other nations.

47 This is what the Lord told us to do, saying: 'I have made you a light for the nations; you will show people all over the world the way to be saved.'"

48 When those who were not Jewish heard Paul say this, they were happy and gave honor to the message of the Lord. And the people who were chosen to have life forever believed the message.

49 So the message of the Lord was spreading through the whole country.

50 But the Jewish people stirred up some of the important religious women and the leaders of the city. They started trouble against Paul and Barnabas and forced them out of their area.

51 So Paul and Barnabas shook the dust off their feetn and went to Iconium.

52 But the followers were filled with joy and the Holy Spirit.

The Latin Vulgate VUL

1 erant autem in ecclesia quae erat Antiochiae prophetae et doctores in quibus Barnabas et Symeon qui vocabatur Niger et Lucius Cyrenensis et Manaen qui erat Herodis tetrarchae conlactaneus et Saulus

2 ministrantibus autem illis Domino et ieiunantibus dixit Spiritus Sanctus separate mihi Barnaban et Saulum in opus quod adsumpsi eos

3 tunc ieiunantes et orantes inponentesque eis manus dimiserunt illos

4 et ipsi quidem missi ab Spiritu Sancto abierunt Seleuciam et inde navigaverunt Cyprum

5 et cum venissent Salamina praedicabant verbum Dei in synagogis Iudaeorum habebant autem et Iohannem in ministerio

6 et cum perambulassent universam insulam usque Paphum invenerunt quendam virum magum pseudoprophetam Iudaeum cui nomen erat Bariesu

7 qui erat cum proconsule Sergio Paulo viro prudente hic accitis Barnaba et Saulo desiderabat audire verbum Dei

8 resistebat autem illis Elymas magus sic enim interpretatur nomen eius quaerens avertere proconsulem a fide

9 Saulus autem qui et Paulus repletus Spiritu Sancto intuens in eum

10 dixit o plene omni dolo et omni fallacia fili diaboli inimice omnis iustitiae non desinis subvertere vias Domini rectas

11 et nunc ecce manus Domini super te et eris caecus non videns solem usque ad tempus et confestim cecidit in eum caligo et tenebrae et circumiens quaerebat qui ei manum daret

12 tunc proconsul cum vidisset factum credidit admirans super doctrinam Domini

13 et cum a Papho navigassent Paulus et qui cum eo venerunt Pergen Pamphiliae Iohannes autem discedens ab eis reversus est Hierosolymam

14 illi vero pertranseuntes Pergen venerunt Antiochiam Pisidiae et ingressi synagogam die sabbatorum sederunt

15 post lectionem autem legis et prophetarum miserunt principes synagogae ad eos dicentes viri fratres si quis est in vobis sermo exhortationis ad plebem dicite

16 surgens autem Paulus et manu silentium indicens ait viri israhelitae et qui timetis Deum audite

17 Deus plebis Israhel elegit patres nostros et plebem exaltavit cum essent incolae in terra Aegypti et in brachio excelso eduxit eos ex ea

18 et per quadraginta annorum tempus mores eorum sustinuit in deserto

19 et destruens gentes septem in terra Chanaan sorte distribuit eis terram eorum

20 quasi post quadringentos et quinquaginta annos et post haec dedit iudices usque ad Samuhel prophetam

21 et exinde postulaverunt regem et dedit illis Deus Saul filium Cis virum de tribu Beniamin annis quadraginta

22 et amoto illo suscitavit illis David regem cui et testimonium perhibens dixit inveni David filium Iesse virum secundum cor meum qui faciet omnes voluntates meas

23 huius Deus ex semine secundum promissionem eduxit Israhel salvatorem Iesum

24 praedicante Iohanne ante faciem adventus eius baptismum paenitentiae omni populo Israhel

25 cum impleret autem Iohannes cursum suum dicebat quem me arbitramini esse non sum ego sed ecce venit post me cuius non sum dignus calciamenta pedum solvere

26 viri fratres filii generis Abraham et qui in vobis timent Deum vobis verbum salutis huius missum est

27 qui enim habitabant Hierusalem et principes eius hunc ignorantes et voces prophetarum quae per omne sabbatum leguntur iudicantes impleverunt

28 et nullam causam mortis invenientes in eum petierunt a Pilato ut interficerent eum

29 cumque consummassent omnia quae de eo scripta erant deponentes eum de ligno posuerunt in monumento

30 Deus vero suscitavit eum a mortuis qui visus est per dies multos his

31 qui simul ascenderant cum eo de Galilaea in Hierusalem qui usque nunc sunt testes eius ad plebem

32 et nos vobis adnuntiamus ea quae ad patres nostros repromissio facta est

33 quoniam hanc Deus adimplevit filiis nostris resuscitans Iesum sicut et in psalmo secundo scriptum est Filius meus es tu ego hodie genui te

34 quod autem suscitaverit eum a mortuis amplius iam non reversurum in corruptionem ita dixit quia dabo vobis sancta David fidelia

35 ideoque et alias dicit non dabis Sanctum tuum videre corruptionem

36 David enim sua generatione cum administrasset voluntati Dei dormivit et adpositus est ad patres suos et vidit corruptionem

37 quem vero Deus suscitavit non vidit corruptionem

38 notum igitur sit vobis viri fratres quia per hunc vobis remissio peccatorum adnuntiatur ab omnibus quibus non potuistis in lege Mosi iustificari

39 in hoc omnis qui credit iustificatur

40 videte ergo ne superveniat quod dictum est in prophetis

41 videte contemptores et admiramini et disperdimini quia opus operor ego in diebus vestris opus quod non credetis si quis enarraverit vobis

42 exeuntibus autem illis rogabant ut sequenti sabbato loquerentur sibi verba haec

43 cumque dimissa esset synagoga secuti sunt multi Iudaeorum et colentium advenarum Paulum et Barnaban qui loquentes suadebant eis ut permanerent in gratia Dei

44 sequenti vero sabbato paene universa civitas convenit audire verbum Domini

45 videntes autem turbas Iudaei repleti sunt zelo et contradicebant his quae a Paulo dicebantur blasphemantes

46 tunc constanter Paulus et Barnabas dixerunt vobis oportebat primum loqui verbum Dei sed quoniam repellitis illud et indignos vos iudicastis aeternae vitae ecce convertimur ad gentes

47 sic enim praecepit nobis Dominus posui te in lumen gentibus ut sis in salutem usque ad extremum terrae

48 audientes autem gentes gavisae sunt et glorificabant verbum Domini et crediderunt quotquot erant praeordinati ad vitam aeternam

49 disseminabatur autem verbum Domini per universam regionem

50 Iudaei autem concitaverunt religiosas mulieres et honestas et primos civitatis et excitaverunt persecutionem in Paulum et Barnaban et eiecerunt eos de finibus suis

51 at illi excusso pulvere pedum in eos venerunt Iconium

52 discipuli quoque replebantur gaudio et Spiritu Sancto
