‏ Acts 13

CHAPTER 13 Paul and Barnabas

1 And there were some in Antioch, according to the [²being there ¹assembly], prophets and teachers, both Barnabas and Simeon, the one called Niger, and Lucius the Cyrenian, and Manaen [²of Herod ³the ⁴tetrarch ¹a companion], and Saul. 2 [³officiating ¹And ²of their] to the Lord, and fasting, [⁴said ¹the ³spirit ²holy], Separate indeed to me Barnabas and Saul for the work which I have called them. 3 Then fasting and praying, and placing the hands upon them, they dismissed them. 4 These indeed then having gone forth by the [²spirit ¹holy], went down unto Seleucia; and from there they sailed away unto Cyprus. 5 And having come unto Salamis, they announced the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews; and they also had John as an assistant. 6 And having gone through the island as far as Paphos, they found a certain magus, a false prophet, a Jew whose name was Barjesus, 7 which was with the proconsul Sergius Paulus, [²man ¹a discerning]. This one calling on Barnabas and Saul, sought anxiously to hear the word of God.

Elymas the Magus

8 [⁵opposed ¹But ⁶them ²Elymas ³the ⁴magus], (for so is translated his name,) seeking to turn aside the proconsul from the belief. 9 And Saul, the one also called Paul, being filled [²spirit ¹of holy], and having gazed at him, 10 said, O one full of all treachery, and all villainy, O son of the devil, O enemy of all righteousness, will you not cease turning aside the [²ways ³of the Lord ¹straight]? 11 And now, behold, the hand of the Lord is upon you, and you will be blind, not seeing the sun for a time. And immediately there fell upon him a mistiness and darkness; and leading about he sought ones to guide him by hand. 12 Then [³beholding ¹the ²proconsul] the thing having taken place, believed, being overwhelmed over the teaching of the Lord. 13 And having embarked from Paphos, the ones around Paul, they came unto Perga of Pamphylia. And John retreated from them and returned unto Jerusalem. 14 And they having gone through from Perga, they came into Antioch of Pisidia; and having entered into the synagogue on the day of the Sabbath, they sat. 15 And after the reading of the law and of the prophets, [³sent ¹the ²chiefs of the synagogue] to them, saying, Men, brethren, if there is a word in you of comfort to the people, speak! 16 [³having risen up ¹And ²Paul], and waving the hand, said, Men, Israelites, and ones fearing God, hearken! 17 The God of this people Israel chose our fathers, and [²the ³people ¹exalted] in the sojourn in the land of Egypt, and with [²arm ¹a high] he led them out of it. 18 And about forty years time he bore with them in the wilderness. 19 And having demolished [²nations ¹seven] in the land of Canaan, he divided [³by lot ¹to them ²their land]. 20 And after these things, about [⁴years ¹four hundred ²and ³fifty], he gave judges, until Samuel the prophet. 21 And from there they asked for a king. And [²gave ³to them ¹God] Saul son of Kis, a man of the tribe of Benjamin -- [²years ¹for forty]. 22 And having removed him, he raised up to them David for king, to whom also [²he said ¹having borne witness], I found David the one of Jesse, a man according to my heart, which shall do all my wants. 23 [⁵of this one ¹God ²from ³the ⁴seed], according to the promise, raised up deliverance to Israel -- a deliverer, Jesus. 24 Which John having publicly proclaimed before the presence of his entrance, an immersion for repentance to all the people of Israel. 25 And as John was fulfilling the race, he said, Who do you suspect me to be? I am not he. But behold, comes after me, one of whom I am not worthy [²the ³sandal ⁴of his ⁵feet ¹to untie]. 26 Men, brethren, sons of the race of Abraham, and the ones among you fearing God -- to you the word of this deliverance was sent. 27 For the ones dwelling in Jerusalem, and their rulers, [²this one ¹not having known], nor the voices of the prophets [²on ³every ⁴Sabbath ¹being read], [²having judged him ¹they fulfilled them]. 28 And not one reason for death having found, they asked Pilate to do away with him. 29 And as they finished all the things [²concerning ³him ¹being written], lowering him from the tree, they put him into a tomb. 30 But God raised him from the dead, 31 who appeared for [²days ¹many] to the ones having gone up with him from Galilee unto Jerusalem, who are witnesses of him to the people. 32 And we announce you good news -- the [²to ³the ⁴fathers ¹promise] taking place, 33 that this thing God has fulfilled [²their children ¹to us], having raised up Jesus; and as in the [²Psalm ¹second] it has been written, [²my son ¹You are], I today have engendered you. 34 And that he raised him from the dead, no longer to be about to return unto corruption, thus he has spoken that, I will give to you the [²sacred things ³of David ¹trustworthy]. 35 Wherefore also in another he says, You shall not give your sacred one to see corruption. 36 [²David ³indeed ¹For ⁵his own ⁶generation ⁴having assisted] by the counsel of God, went to sleep, and was added to his fathers, and saw corruption. 37 But the one whom God raised, did not see corruption. 38 [²made known ³then ¹Let it be] to you men, brethren, that through this one [⁴to you ¹a release ²of sins ³is announced], 39 and from all things of which you were not able in the law of Moses to be justified, in this one every one believing is justified. 40 Take heed then, that it should not come upon you, the thing being spoken by the prophets, 41 Behold, O despisers, and wonder and vanish! For a work I work during your days, which in no way should you believe if one should tell you in detail. 42 And exiting from out of the synagogue of the Jews, [³appealed to them ¹the ²nations] in the time between the Sabbath to speak to them these things. 43 [⁴being dismissed ¹And ²the ³synagogue], [⁷followed ¹many ²of the ³Jews ⁴and ⁵worshiping ⁶converts] Paul and Barnabas; who speaking, persuaded them to continue in the favor of God. 44 And on the coming Sabbath, nearly all the city gathered to hear the word of God. 45 [⁴beholding ¹But ²the ³Jews] the multitudes, they were filled with jealousy, and spoke against the things [²by ³Paul ¹being spoken], disputing and blaspheming. 46 But speaking openly, Paul and Barnabas said, To you it was important first [⁴to be spoken ¹for the ²word ³of God]; but since you thrust it away, and do not [³worthy ¹judge ²yourselves] of eternal life, behold, we turn unto the nations. 47 For thus [³has given charge ⁴to us ¹the ²Lord], saying, I have put you for a light of nations, for you to be for deliverance unto the end of the earth. 48 And hearing, the nations rejoiced, and glorified the word of the Lord; and [⁷believed ¹as many as ²were ³being arranged ⁴for ⁵life ⁶eternal]. 49 [⁶was carried ¹And ²the ³word ⁴of the ⁵Lord] through the entire region. 50 But the Jews instigated the worshiping women, and the decent and the foremost men of the city; and they roused up a persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and cast them from their borders. 51 And they, having shaken off the dust of their feet against them, came unto Iconium. 52 And the disciples were filled with joy and [²spirit ¹holy].
