青 13:1 In the church at Antioch there were prophets and teachers:
Barnabas, Simeon called Niger, Lucius of Cyrene, Man aen (who had been
brought up with Herod the tetrarch) and Saul.
青 13:2 While they were worshiping the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit
said, "Set apart for me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have
called them."
青 13:3 So after they had fasted and prayed, they placed their hands
on them and sent them off.

青 13:4 The two of them, sent on their way by the Holy Spirit, went
down to Seleucia and sailed from there to Cyprus.
青 13:5 When they arrived at Salamis, they proclaimed the word of God
in the Jewish synagogues. John was with them as t heir helper.
青 13:6 They traveled through the whole island until they came to Paphos.
There they met a Jewish sorcerer and false pr ophet named Bar-Jesus,
青 13:7 who was an attendant of the proconsul, Sergius Paulus. The
proconsul, an intelligent man, sent for Barnabas and Saul because he wanted
to hear the word of God.
青 13:8 But Elymas the sorcerer (for that is what his name means) opposed
them and tried to turn the proconsul from the faith.
青 13:9 Then Saul, who was also called Paul, filled with the Holy Spirit,
looked straight at Elymas and said,
青 13:10 "You are a child of the devil and an enemy of everything that
is right! You are full of all kinds of dece it and trickery. Will you never
stop perverting the right ways of the Lord?
青 13:11 Now the hand of the Lord is against you. You are going to
be blind, and for a time you will be unable to see t he light of the sun."
Immediately mist and darkness came over him, and he groped about, seeking
someone to lead him by the hand.
青 13:12 When the proconsul saw what had happened, he believed, for
he was amazed at the teaching about the Lord.

青 13:13 From Paphos, Paul and his companions sailed to Perga in Pamphylia,
where John left them to return to Jerusalem .
青 13:14 From Perga they went on to Pisidian Antioch. On the Sabbath
they entered the synagogue and sat down.
青 13:15 After the reading from the Law and the Prophets, the synagogue
rulers sent word to them, saying, "Brother s, if you have a message of
encouragement for the people, please speak."
青 13:16 Standing up, Paul motioned with his hand and said: "Men of
Israel and you Gentiles who worship God, liste n to me!
青 13:17 The God of the people of Israel chose our fathers; he made
the people prosper during their stay in Egypt, with mighty power he led
them out of that country,
青 13:18 he endured their conduct for about forty years in the desert,
青 13:19 he overthrew seven nations in Canaan and gave their land to
his people as their inheritance.
青 13:20 All this took about 450 years. "After this, God gave them
judges until the time of Samuel the prophet.
青 13:21 Then the people asked for a king, and he gave them Saul son
of Kish, of the tribe of Benjamin, who ruled forty years.
青 13:22 After removing Saul, he made David their king. He testified
concerning him: 'I have found David son of Jesse a man after my own heart;
he will do everything I want him to do.'
青 13:23 "From this man's descendants God has brought to Israel the
Savior Jesus, as he promised.
青 13:24 Before the coming of Jesus, John preached repentance and baptism
to all the people of Israel.
青 13:25 As John was completing his work, he said: 'Who do you think
I am? I am not that one. No, but he is coming afte r me, whose sandals
I am not worthy to untie.'
青 13:26 "Brothers, children of Abraham, and you God-fearing Gentiles,
it is to us that this message of salvation has been sent.
青 13:27 The people of Jerusalem and their rulers did not recognize
Jesus, yet in condemning him they fulfilled the wor ds of the prophets
that are read every Sabbath.
青 13:28 Though they found no proper ground for a death sentence, they
asked Pilate to have him executed.
青 13:29 When they had carried out all that was written about him,
they took him down from the tree and laid him in a t omb.
青 13:30 But God raised him from the dead,
青 13:31 and for many days he was seen by those who had traveled with
him from Galilee to Jerusalem. They are now his w itnesses to our people.
青 13:32 "We tell you the good news: What God promised our fathers
青 13:33 he has fulfilled for us, their children, by raising up Jesus.
As it is written in the second Psalm: "'You are my Son; today I have become
your Father.'
青 13:34 The fact that God raised him from the dead, never to decay,
is stated in these words: "'I will give you t he holy and sure blessings
promised to David.'
青 13:35 So it is stated elsewhere: "'You will not let your Holy One
see decay.'
青 13:36 "For when David had served God's purpose in his own generation,
he fell asleep; he was buried with his fa thers and his body decayed.
青 13:37 But the one whom God raised from the dead did not see decay.
青 13:38 "Therefore, my brothers, I want you to know that through Jesus
the forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to y ou.
青 13:39 Through him everyone who believes is justified from everything
you could not be justified from by the law of M oses.
青 13:40 Take care that what the prophets have said does not happen
to you:
青 13:41 "'Look, you scoffers, wonder and perish, for I am going to
do something in your days that you would never believe, even if someone
told you.'"
青 13:42 As Paul and Barnabas were leaving the synagogue, the people
invited them to speak further about these things o n the next Sabbath.
青 13:43 When the congregation was dismissed, many of the Jews and
devout converts to Judaism followed Paul and Barnaba s, who talked with
them and urged them to continue in the grace of God.
青 13:44 On the next Sabbath almost the whole city gathered to hear
the word of the Lord.
青 13:45 When the Jews saw the crowds, they were filled with jealousy
and talked abusively against what Paul was saying .
青 13:46 Then Paul and Barnabas answered them boldly: "We had to speak
the word of God to you first. Since you rej ect it and do not consider
yourselves worthy of eternal life, we now turn to the Gentiles.
青 13:47 For this is what the Lord has commanded us: "'I have made
you a light for the Gentiles, that you may brin g salvation to the ends
of the earth.'"
青 13:48 When the Gentiles heard this, they were glad and honored the
word of the Lord; and all who were appointed for eternal life believed.
青 13:49 The word of the Lord spread through the whole region.
青 13:50 But the Jews incited the God-fearing women of high standing
and the leading men of the city. They stirred up p ersecution against Paul
and Barnabas, and expelled them from their region.
青 13:51 So they shook the dust from their feet in protest against
them and went to Iconium.
青 13:52 And the disciples were filled with joy and with the Holy Spirit. |
