Now in the congregation that was in Antioch there were certain prophets and teachers: Barnabas, Simeon (the one called Niger), Lucius the Cyrenian, Manaen (who had been brought up with Herod the tetrarch), and Saul.

As they were ministering to the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, “Set apart to me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them!”
Then, having fasted and prayed and laid their hands on them, they sent them off.
4 ⲇ̅ ⲛⲧⲟⲟⲩ ϭⲉ ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲟⲩϫⲟⲟⲩⲥⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲛ ⲛⲉⲧⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ ⲁⲩⲉⲓ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲉⲥⲉⲗⲉⲩⲕⲓⲁ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲇⲉ ϩⲙ ⲡⲙⲁ ⲉⲧⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲁⲩⲥϭⲏⲣ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲉⲕⲩⲡⲣⲟⲥ
So, having been sent out by the Holy Spirit, they went down to Seleucia; and from there they sailed to Cyprus.
5 ⲉ̅ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲟⲩϣⲱⲡⲉ ϩⲛ ⲥⲁⲗⲁⲙⲓⲛⲁ ⲁⲩⲧⲁϣⲉⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲙⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ϩⲛ ⲛⲥⲩⲛⲁⲅⲱⲅⲏ ⲛⲛⲓⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ ⲛⲉⲩⲛⲧⲁⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲙⲡⲕⲉⲓⲱϩⲁⲛⲛⲏⲥ ⲉϥϣⲙϣⲉ ⲛⲁⲩ
And upon arriving in Salamis, they started proclaiming the Word of God in the synagogues of the Jews (also they had John as assistant).
6 ⲋ̅ ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲟⲩⲙⲟⲩϣⲧ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲧⲛⲏⲥⲟⲥ ⲧⲏⲣⲥ ϣⲁϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲉⲡⲁⲫⲟⲥ ⲁⲩϩⲉ ⲉⲩⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲛⲓⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ ⲙⲙⲁⲅⲟⲥ ⲙⲡⲣⲟⲫⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⲛⲛⲟⲩϫ ⲉⲡⲉϥⲣⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲃⲁⲣⲓⲏⲥⲟⲩⲥ
Now when they had gone through the island to Paphos, they found a certain sorcerer, a false prophet, a Jew named Bar-Jesus,
7 ⲍ̅ ⲉϥϣⲟⲟⲡ ⲙⲛ ⲡⲁⲛⲑⲏⲡⲁⲧⲟⲥ ⲥⲉⲣⲕⲓⲟⲥ ⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ⲟⲩⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲛⲣⲙⲛϩⲏⲧ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲁϥⲙⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲃⲁⲣⲛⲁⲃⲁⲥ ⲙⲛ ⲥⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ⲁϥϣⲓⲛⲉ ⲛⲥⲁ ⲥⲱⲧⲙ ⲉⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ
who was with the proconsul, Sergius Paulus, an intelligent man. This man summoned Barnabas and Saul, really wanting to hear the Word of God.
8 ⲏ̅ ⲁϥϯ ⲇⲉ ⲟⲩⲃⲏⲩ ⲛϭⲓ ⲉⲗⲩⲙⲁⲥ ⲡⲙⲁⲅⲟⲥ ⲧⲁⲓ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲧⲉ ⲑⲉ ⲉϣⲁⲩⲟⲩⲱϩⲙ ⲙⲡⲉϥⲣⲁⲛ ⲉϥϣⲓⲛⲉ ⲛⲥⲁ ⲕⲧⲉ ⲡⲁⲛⲑⲩⲡⲁⲧⲟⲥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ
But the sorcerer Elymas (for so his name is translated) opposed them, seeking to turn the proconsul away from the faith.
Then Saul, also called Paul, filled with Holy Spirit and looking intently at him,
10 ⲓ̅ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲱ ⲡⲉⲧϫⲏⲕ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛⲕⲣⲟϥ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲉⲑⲟⲟⲩ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲡϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲙⲡⲇⲓⲁⲃⲟⲗⲟⲥ ⲡϫⲁϫⲉ ⲛⲇⲓⲕⲁⲓⲟⲥⲩⲛⲏ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲛⲅⲛⲁⲗⲟ ⲁⲛ ⲉⲕϭⲱⲱⲙⲉ ⲛⲛⲉϩⲓⲟⲟⲩⲉ ⲉⲧⲥⲟⲩⲧⲱⲛ ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ
said: “O full of all deceit and all trickery, son of a devil, enemy of all righteousness! Will you not stop perverting the straight ways of the Lord?
11 ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ ⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩ ⲉⲓⲥ ⲧϭⲓϫ ⲙⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲛⲁϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲉϫⲱⲕ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲅϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲛⲃⲗⲗⲉ ⲛⲅⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲁⲛ ⲉⲡⲣⲏ ϣⲁ ⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲛⲧⲉⲩⲛⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲁϩⲉⲛϩⲃⲥ ϩⲉ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲉϫⲱϥ ⲙⲛ ⲟⲩⲕⲁⲕⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲉϥⲙⲟⲟϣⲉ ⲉϥϣⲓⲛⲉ ⲛⲥⲁ ⲛⲉⲧⲛⲁϫⲓ ⲙⲟⲉⲓⲧ ϩⲏⲧϥ
Well now, the Lord's hand is against you and you will be blind, not seeing the sun until next season!” Immediately mist and darkness engulfed him, and he started going around looking for someone to lead him by the hand.
Then the proconsul believed, when he saw what had happened, being astonished at the teaching of the Lord.
13 ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲉⲛⲁ ⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲥϭⲏⲣ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙ ⲡⲁⲫⲟⲥ ⲁⲩⲉⲓ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲉⲡⲉⲣⲅⲏ ⲛⲧⲡⲁⲙⲫⲩⲗⲓⲁ ⲁⲓⲱϩⲁⲛⲛⲏⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲱⲣϫ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲁϥⲕⲧⲟϥ ⲉⲑⲓⲗⲏⲙ
Then Paul and his party set sail from Paphos and came to Perga in Pamphilia (here John left them and returned to Jerusalem).
14 ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ ⲛⲧⲟⲟⲩ ϭⲉ ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲟⲩⲉⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙ ⲡⲉⲣⲅⲏ ⲁⲩⲉⲓ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲁⲛⲧⲓⲟⲭⲓⲁ ⲛⲧⲡⲏⲥⲓⲇⲓⲁ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲩⲃⲱⲕ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲧⲥⲩⲛⲁⲅⲱⲅⲏ ⲙⲡⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲛⲛⲥⲁⲃⲃⲁⲧⲟⲛ ⲁⲩϩⲙⲟⲟⲥ
Going on from Perga they arrived in Antioch of Pisidia; and entering the synagogue on the Sabbath day, they sat down.
15 ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ ⲙⲛⲛⲥⲁ ⲡⲱϣ ⲇⲉ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲙⲛ ⲛⲉⲡⲣⲟⲫⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⲁⲩϫⲟⲟⲩ ⲛϭⲓ ⲛⲁⲣⲭⲓⲥⲩⲛⲁⲅⲱⲅⲟⲥ ϣⲁⲣⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲩϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲛⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲛⲉⲥⲛⲏⲩ ⲉϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲟⲩⲛ ϣⲁϫⲉ ⲛⲥⲟⲡⲥ ⲛⲧⲉ ⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛⲁϫⲓⲥ ⲛⲛⲁϩⲣⲙ ⲡⲗⲁⲟⲥ
After the reading of the Law and the Prophets, the synagogue leaders sent to them, saying, “Men, brothers, if you have a word of encouragement for the people, do speak.”
16 ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ ⲁⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲧⲱⲟⲩⲛ ⲁϥⲕⲓⲙ ⲛⲧⲉϥϭⲓϫ ⲉⲣⲟⲟⲩ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲛⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲓⲏⲗ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲉⲧⲣ ϩⲟⲧⲉ ϩⲏⲧϥ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲥⲱⲧⲙ
So standing up and motioning with his hand, Paul said: “Men of Israel and you who fear God, listen.
17 ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲙⲡⲓⲏⲗ ⲁϥⲥⲱⲧⲡ ⲛⲛⲉⲛⲉⲓⲟⲧⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁϥϫⲓⲥⲉ ⲙⲡⲗⲁⲟⲥ ⲙⲡⲙⲁ ⲛϭⲟⲓⲗⲉ ϩⲙ ⲡⲕⲁϩ ⲛⲕⲏⲙⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩϭⲃⲟⲓ ⲉϥϫⲟⲥⲉ ⲁϥⲛⲧⲟⲩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙ ⲡⲙⲁ ⲉⲧⲙⲙⲁⲩ
The God of this people chose our fathers, and prospered the people during their sojourn in the land of Egypt, and brought them out of it with an uplifted arm.
For a period of about forty years He put up with them in the wilderness.
And when He had destroyed seven nations in the land of Canaan, He gave them possession of their land.
After these things, He gave judges for about four hundred and fifty years, until Samuel the prophet.
21 ⲕ̅ⲁ̅ ⲙⲛⲛⲥⲱⲥ ⲁⲩⲁⲓⲧⲓ ⲛⲟⲩⲣⲣⲟ ⲁⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ϯ ⲛⲁⲩ ⲛⲥⲁⲟⲩⲗ ⲡϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲛϭⲓⲥ ⲟⲩⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲧⲉⲫⲩⲗⲏ ⲛⲃⲉⲛⲓⲁⲙⲉⲓⲛ ⲛϩⲙⲉ ⲛⲣⲟⲙⲡⲉ
And then they asked for a king, and God gave them Saul, a son of Kish, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, for forty years.
22 ⲕ̅ⲃ̅ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲉϥⲡⲟⲟⲛⲉϥ ⲁϥⲧⲟⲩⲛⲉⲥ ⲇⲁⲩⲉⲓⲇ ⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲩⲣⲣⲟ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲛⲧⲁϥⲣⲙⲛⲧⲣⲉ ϩⲁⲣⲟϥ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲁⲓϩⲉ ⲉⲇⲁⲩⲉⲓⲇ ⲡϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲛⲓⲥⲥⲁⲓ ⲉϥⲛⲏⲩ ϩⲙ ⲡⲁϩⲏⲧ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲛⲁⲉⲓⲣⲉ ⲛⲛⲁⲟⲩⲱϣ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ
And removing him He raised up for them David as king, about whom He gave witness and said, ‘I have found David son of Jesse a man after my heart, who will do all my will.’
God, from this man's seed, according to promise, has brought Salvation to Israel,
John having heralded beforehand, in advance of His coming, a baptism of repentance to Israel.
25 ⲕ̅ⲉ̅ ⲓⲱϩⲁⲛⲛⲏⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲉϥϫⲱⲕ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙⲡⲉϥⲧⲣⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲉϥϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲡⲉ ⲛⲛⲁϩⲣⲙ ⲡⲙⲏⲏϣⲉ ϫⲉ ⲁϩⲣⲱⲧⲛ ⲧⲉⲧⲛⲙⲉⲉⲩⲉ ⲉⲣⲟⲓ ϫⲉ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲡⲉ ⲛⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲉⲓⲥ ϩⲏⲏⲡⲉ ϥⲛⲏⲩ ⲙⲛⲛⲥⲱⲓ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲉⲛϯ ⲙⲡϣⲁ ⲁⲛ ⲛⲃⲱⲗ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙⲡⲧⲟⲟⲩⲉ ⲛⲛⲉϥⲟⲩⲉⲣⲏⲧⲉ
Well, as John was fulfilling his course, he said: ‘Whom do you suppose me to be? No I am not—but indeed He comes after me, the sandals of whose feet I am not worthy to untie.’
26 ⲕ̅ⲋ̅ ⲛⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲛⲉⲥⲛⲏⲩ ⲛϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲙⲡⲅⲉⲛⲟⲥ ⲛⲁⲃⲣⲁϩⲁⲙ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲉⲧⲣ ϩⲟⲧⲉ ϩⲏⲧϥ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲛϩⲏⲧⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ ⲛⲧⲁⲩⲧⲛⲛⲟⲟⲩ ⲛⲁⲛ ⲙⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ⲙⲡⲉⲓⲟⲩϫⲁⲓ
“Men, brothers, sons of the stock of Abraham, and those among you who fear God: to you the word of this salvation has been sent.
27 ⲕ̅ⲍ̅ ⲛⲉⲧⲟⲩⲏϩ ⲅⲁⲣ ϩⲛ ⲑⲓⲗⲏⲙ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲉⲩⲁⲣⲭⲱⲛ ⲙⲡⲟⲩⲥⲟⲩⲱⲛ ⲙⲡⲁⲓ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲉⲥⲙⲏ ⲛⲛⲉⲡⲣⲟⲫⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⲉⲧⲟⲩⲱϣ ⲙⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲥⲁⲃⲃⲁⲧⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲁⲩⲕⲣⲓⲛⲉ ⲙⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲁⲩϫⲟⲕⲟⲩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ
The Jerusalem dwellers and their rulers, understanding neither Him nor the voices of the prophets that are read every Sabbath, fulfilled them by condemning Him.
Though they found no cause for death, they asked Pilate to have Him executed.
When they had fulfilled all things that were written about Him, they took Him down from the cross and placed Him in a tomb.
But God raised Him from the dead;
31 ⲗ̅ⲁ̅ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲛⲧⲁϥⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛϩⲁϩ ⲛϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲛⲛⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩⲃⲱⲕ ⲛⲙⲙⲁϥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲧⲅⲁⲗⲓⲗⲁⲓⲁ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲉⲑⲓⲗⲏⲙ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩ ⲉⲩϣⲟⲟⲡ ⲛⲁϥ ⲙⲙⲛⲧⲣⲉ ⲛⲛⲁϩⲣⲙ ⲡⲗⲁⲟⲥ
and for many days He was seen by those who came up with Him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are His witnesses to the people.
“Yes we proclaim to you the good news: the promise that was made to the fathers,
33 ⲗ̅ⲅ̅ ϫⲉ ⲁⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ϫⲟⲕϥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛⲛⲉⲩϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲉⲁϥⲧⲟⲩⲛⲟⲥ ⲛⲁⲛ ⲙⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲓⲥ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲛⲑⲉ ⲉⲧϥⲥⲏϩ ϩⲙ ⲡⲙⲉϩⲥⲛⲁⲩ ⲙⲯⲁⲗⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲛⲧⲟⲕ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲁϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲁⲓϫⲡⲟⲕ ⲙⲡⲟⲟⲩ
God has fulfilled the same to us, their children, when He raised up Jesus; as also it stands written in the second Psalm: ‘You are my Son, today I have begotten you.’
34 ⲗ̅ⲇ̅ ϫⲉ ⲁϥⲧⲟⲩⲛⲟⲥϥ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲛⲉⲧⲙⲟⲟⲩⲧ ⲛϥⲛⲁⲧⲥⲧⲟϥ ⲁⲛ ⲉⲡⲧⲁⲕⲟ ⲁϥϫⲟⲟⲥ ⲛⲧⲉⲓϩⲉ ϫⲉ ϯⲛⲁϯⲛⲏⲧⲛ ⲛⲛⲉⲧⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ ⲛⲇⲁⲩⲉⲓⲇ ⲉⲧⲛϩⲟⲧ
And that He raised Him from the dead, no longer to return to corruption, He has spoken thus, ‘I will give you the holy things guaranteed to David.’
Further, it is stated elsewhere, ‘You will not allow your Holy One to see decay.’
36 ⲗ̅ⲋ̅ ⲇⲁⲩⲉⲓⲇ ⲙⲉⲛ ⲅⲁⲣ ϩⲛ ⲧⲉϥⲅⲉⲛⲉⲉ ⲁϥϣⲙϣⲉ ⲙⲡⲟⲩⲱϣ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲁϥⲛⲕⲟⲧⲕ ⲁⲩⲟⲩⲁϩϥ ⲛⲛⲁϩⲣⲛ ⲛⲉϥⲉⲓⲟⲧⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁϥⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲡⲧⲁⲕⲟ
Now David, after he had served his own generation by the will of God, fell asleep, was buried with his fathers, and saw decay;
but the One whom God raised up did not see decay.
38 ⲗ̅ⲏ̅ ⲙⲁⲣⲉϥⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ ϭⲉ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲛⲁⲥⲛⲏⲩ ϫⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲙ ⲡⲉⲓⲥ ⲥⲉⲧⲁϣⲉⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲛⲏⲧⲛⲙⲡⲕⲱ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛⲛⲉⲧⲛⲛⲟⲃⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲧⲉ ⲙⲡⲉⲧⲛⲉϣϭⲙϭⲟⲙ ⲉⲧⲙⲁⲓⲟ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛϩⲏⲧⲟⲩ ϩⲙ ⲡⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲙⲙⲱⲩⲥⲏⲥ
Therefore, let it be known to you, men, brothers, that through this One forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you;
and by Him everyone who believes is justified from everything you could not be justified from by the Law of Moses.
So take care, lest there come upon you that which has been spoken in the prophets:
41 ⲙ̅ⲁ̅ ϫⲉ ⲁⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲛⲕⲁⲧⲁⲫⲣⲟⲛⲓⲧⲏⲥ ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲛⲣϣⲡⲏⲣⲉ ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲛⲧⲁⲕⲟ ϫⲉ ϯⲛⲁⲣⲟⲩϩⲱⲃ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ϩⲛ ⲛⲉⲧⲛϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲟⲩϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲛⲉⲧⲛⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲉⲣϣⲁⲛⲟⲩⲁ ϫⲟⲟϥ ⲉⲣⲱⲧⲛ
‘Look you despisers, marvel and perish! For I am working a work in your days to which you will not give credence, even if someone were to explain it in detail to you.’”
Now as the Jews were going out of the synagogue, the Gentiles implored repeatedly that these words might be spoken to them the next Sabbath.
43 ⲙ̅ⲅ̅ ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲉ ⲧⲥⲩⲛⲁⲅⲱⲅⲏ ⲇⲉ ⲧⲱⲛⲥ ⲁⲩⲟⲩⲁϩⲟⲩ ⲛϭⲓ ⲟⲩⲙⲏⲏϣⲉ ⲛⲛⲓⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ ⲙⲛ ⲛⲉⲡⲣⲟⲥⲏⲗⲩⲧⲟⲥ ⲉⲧϣⲙϣⲉ ⲛⲥⲁ ⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ⲙⲛ ⲃⲁⲣⲛⲁⲃⲁⲥ ⲛⲧⲟⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲩϣⲁϫⲉ ⲛⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲁⲩⲡⲓⲑⲉ ⲙⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲧⲣⲉⲩϭⲱ ϩⲛ ⲧⲉⲭⲁⲣⲓⲥ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ
The synagogue service having been dismissed, many of the Jews and the devout proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas, who started addressing them, urging them to continue in the grace of God.
Well the next Sabbath almost the whole city was gathered to hear the Word of God.
But when the Jews saw the crowds, they were filled with envy and started speaking against the things said by Paul, contradicting and blaspheming.
46 ⲙ̅ⲋ̅ ⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲙⲛ ⲃⲁⲣⲛⲁⲃⲁⲥ ⲁⲩⲡⲁⲣⲣⲏⲥⲓⲁⲍⲉ ⲙⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲡⲉϫⲁⲩ ⲛⲁⲩ ϫⲉ ⲛⲉ ⲟⲩⲁⲛⲁⲅⲕⲁⲓⲟⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲉϫⲱ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ ⲙⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲛϣⲟⲣⲡ ⲉⲡⲉⲓⲇⲏ ⲧⲉⲧⲛⲛⲟⲩϫⲉ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙⲙⲱⲧⲛ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲛⲕⲣⲓⲛⲉ ⲙⲙⲱⲧⲛ ⲁⲛ ϫⲉ ⲧⲉⲧⲛⲙⲡϣⲁ ⲙⲡⲱⲛϩ ⲉⲓⲥ ϩⲏⲏⲧⲉ ⲧⲛⲛⲁⲕⲧⲟⲛ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲉⲛϩⲉⲑⲛⲟⲥ (aiōnios g166)
But Paul and Barnabas speaking boldly said: “It was necessary that God's Word should be spoken to you first. But since you reject it, and judge yourselves unworthy of eternal life, now we are being turned to the Gentiles. (aiōnios g166)
47 ⲙ̅ⲍ̅ ⲧⲁⲓ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲧⲉ ⲑⲉ ⲛⲧⲁⲧⲉⲅⲣⲁⲫⲏ ϫⲟⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲁⲓⲕⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲕ ⲛⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓⲛ ⲛⲛϩⲉⲑⲛⲟⲥ ⲉⲧⲣⲉⲕϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲉⲩⲟⲩϫⲁⲓ ϣⲁ ⲁⲣⲏϫϥ ⲙⲡⲕⲁϩ
Because that is just how the Lord has commanded us: ‘I have set you to be a light for ethnic nations, that you should be for salvation up to the last place on earth.’”
48 ⲙ̅ⲏ̅ ⲛϩⲉⲑⲛⲟⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲟⲩⲥⲱⲧⲙ ⲁⲩⲣⲁϣⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲩϯ ⲉⲟⲟⲩ ⲙⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ⲙⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲩⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ ⲛϭⲓ ⲛⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩⲧⲟϣⲟⲩ ⲉⲡⲱⲛϩ ϣⲁ ⲉⲛⲉϩ (aiōnios g166)
Now upon hearing this, the Gentiles rejoiced and glorified the Word of the Lord; and as many as had been appointed to eternal live believed. (aiōnios g166)
Well the Word of the Lord was being spread throughout all the region.
50 ⲛ̅ ⲛⲓⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲩⲧⲃⲏⲥ ⲛⲉⲥϩⲓⲙⲉ ⲛⲣⲙⲙⲁⲟ ⲉⲧϣⲙϣⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲛⲟϭ ⲛⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲛⲧⲡⲟⲗⲓⲥ ⲁⲩⲧⲟⲩⲛⲉⲥ ⲟⲩⲇⲓⲱⲅⲙⲟⲥ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲉϫⲙ ⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ⲙⲛ ⲃⲁⲣⲛⲁⲃⲁⲥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲩⲛⲟϫⲟⲩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲛⲉⲩⲧⲟϣ
But the Jews stirred up the devout and prominent women and the chief men of the city, and raised up a persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and expelled them from their borders.
So they shook off the dust from their feet against them, and went to Iconium.
But the disciples were filled with joy and with Holy Spirit.
