  Acts chapter 13 Now there were at Antioch in the church that
• 0:04
  was there prophets and teachers, Barnabas and Simeon, who was
• 0:07
  called Niger, and Lucius of Cyrene and Manian, who had been
• 0:11
  brought up with Herod the tetrarch and Saul.
• 0:14
  While they were ministering to the Lord and fasting, the Holy
• 0:16
  Spirit said, Set apart from me, Barnabas and Saul for the work
• 0:19
  to which I've called them. Then when they had fasted and
• 0:22
  prayed and laid their hands on them, they sent them away.
• 0:24
  So being sent out by the Holy Spirit, they went down to
• 0:27
  Seleucia, and from there they sailed to Cyprus.
• 0:30
  When they had reached Salamis, they began to proclaim the word
• 0:32
  of God in the synagogues of the Jews, and they also had John as
• 0:36
  their helper. When they had gone through the
• 0:38
  whole island as far as Paphos, they found a magician, a Jewish
• 0:41
  false prophet, whose name was Bar Jesus, who was with the
• 0:45
  proconsul Sergius Paulus, a man of intelligence.
• 0:48
  This man summoned Barnabas and Saul and sought to hear the word
• 0:51
  of God. But Alemus the magician, for so
• 0:54
  his name was translated, was opposing them, seeking to turn
• 0:57
  the proconsul away from the faith.
• 0:59
  But Saul, who was also known as Paul, filled with the Holy
• 1:02
  Spirit, fixed his gaze on him and said, You who are full of
• 1:05
  all deceit and fraud, you son of the devil, you enemy of all
• 1:07
  righteousness, will you not cease to make crooked the
• 1:10
  straightways of the Lord? Now behold, the hand of the Lord
• 1:13
  is upon you, and you will be blind and not see the sun for a
• 1:16
  time. And immediately a mist and a
• 1:18
  darkness fell upon him, and he went about seeking those who
• 1:21
  would lead him by the hand. Then the proconsul believed when
• 1:24
  he saw what had happened, being amazed at the teaching of the
• 1:27
  Lord. Now Paul and his companions put
• 1:30
  out to sea from Paphos and came to Perga in Pamphilia.
• 1:34
  But John left them and returned to Jerusalem.
• 1:37
  But going on from Perga they arrived at Piscidian Antioch,
• 1:40
  and on the Sabbath day they went into the synagogue and sat down.
• 1:43
  After the reading of the Law and the prophets, the synagogue
• 1:45
  officials sent to them saying, Brethren, if you have any word
• 1:48
  of exhortation for the people, say it.
• 1:50
  Paul stood up and motioning with his hand said, Men of Israel,
• 1:54
  and you who fear God, listen. The God of this people, Israel,
• 1:57
  chose our fathers and made the people great.
• 1:59
  During their stay in the land of Egypt, with an uplifted arm, he
• 2:03
  led them out from it. For a period of about 40 years
• 2:06
  he put up with them in the wilderness.
• 2:07
  When he had destroyed seven nations in the land of Canaan,
• 2:10
  he distributed their land as an inheritance, all of which took
• 2:13
  about 450 years. After these things he gave them
• 2:17
  judges until Samuel the prophet. Then they asked for a king, and
• 2:21
  God gave them Saul the son of Kish, a man of the tribe of
• 2:24
  Benjamin. For 40 years.
• 2:26
  After he had removed him, he raised up David to be their
• 2:28
  king, concerning whom he also testified and said, I have found
• 2:32
  David the son of Jesse, a man after my heart, who will do all
• 2:35
  my will. From the descendants of this
• 2:37
  man. According to promise, God has
• 2:39
  brought to Israel a Savior Jesus.
• 2:42
  After John had proclaimed before his coming a baptism of
• 2:45
  repentance to all the people of Israel, And while John was
• 2:48
  completing his course, he kept saying, What do you suppose that
• 2:51
  I am? I am not He, But behold, 1 is
• 2:54
  coming after me, the sandals of whose feet I am not worthy to
• 2:57
  untie. Brethren, son of Abraham's
• 3:00
  family, and those among you who fear God, to us the message of
• 3:04
  this salvation has been sent for those who live in Jerusalem.
• 3:07
  And their rulers, recognizing neither him nor the utterances
• 3:10
  of the prophets which are read every Sabbath, fulfilled these
• 3:13
  by condemning Him. And though they found no ground
• 3:16
  for putting Him to death, they asked Pilate that He be
• 3:19
  executed. When they had carried out all
• 3:21
  that was written concerning Him, they took him down from the
• 3:23
  cross and laid him in a tomb. But God raised him from the
• 3:27
  dead, and for many days He appeared to those who came up
• 3:30
  with Him from Galilee to Jerusalem, the very ones who are
• 3:33
  now His witnesses to the people. And we preach to you the good
• 3:36
  news of the promise made to the fathers, that God has fulfilled
• 3:39
  this promise to our children, in that He raised up Jesus.
• 3:44
  As it is also written in the second Psalm, You are my Son
• 3:47
  today I have begotten you. As for the fact that he raised
• 3:50
  him up from the dead, no longer to return to decay, He has
• 3:54
  spoken in this way. I will give you the holy and
• 3:57
  sure blessings of David. Therefore he also says in
• 4:00
  another Psalm, You will not allow your holy 1 to undergo
• 4:02
  decay. For David, after he had served
• 4:05
  the purpose of God in his own generation, fell asleep and was
• 4:08
  laid among his father's and underwent decay.
• 4:11
  But he whom God raised did not undergo decay.
• 4:14
  Therefore let it be known to you, brethren, that through Him
• 4:16
  forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you, and through
• 4:19
  Him everyone who believes is freed from all things, from
• 4:22
  which you could not be freed through the law of Moses.
• 4:25
  Therefore take heed, so that the things spoken of in the prophets
• 4:28
  may not come upon you. Behold, you scoffers, and marvel
• 4:32
  and perish. For I am accomplishing a work in
• 4:34
  your days, a work which you will never believe, though someone
• 4:37
  should describe it to you. As Paul and Barnabas were going
• 4:40
  out, the people kept begging that these things might be
• 4:42
  spoken to them the next Sabbath. Now when the meeting of the
• 4:45
  synagogue had broken up, many of the Jews and of the God fearing
• 4:47
  proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas, who, speaking to them,
• 4:51
  were urging them to continue in the grace of God.
• 4:54
  The next Sabbath nearly the whole city assembled to hear the
• 4:57
  word of the Lord. When the Jews saw the crowds,
• 4:59
  they were filled with jealousy and began contradicting the
• 5:02
  things spoken by Paul and were blaspheming.
• 5:05
  Paul and Barnabas spoke out boldly and said it was necessary
• 5:08
  that the word of God be spoken to you first, since you
• 5:11
  repudiate it and judge yourselves unworthy of eternal
• 5:14
  life. Behold, we are turning to the
• 5:16
  Gentiles, for so the Lord has commanded us.
• 5:19
  I have placed you as a light for the Gentiles, that you may bring
• 5:22
  salvation to the end of the earth.
• 5:24
  When the Gentiles heard this, they began rejoicing and
• 5:26
  glorifying the word of the Lord, and as many as had been
• 5:29
  appointed to eternal life believed.
• 5:32
  And the word of the Lord was being spread through the whole
• 5:34
  region. But the Jews incited the devout
• 5:36
  women of prominence and the leading men of the city, and
• 5:39
  instigated A persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and drove
• 5:42
  them out of their district. But they shook off the dust of
• 5:45
  their feet in protest against them, and went to Iconium.
• 5:48
  And the disciples were continually filled with joy and
• 5:51
  with the Holy Spirit.
