Acts 13

1 And there were certain in Antioch, in the assembly there, prophets and teachers: both Barnabas, and Simeon who is called Niger, and Lucius the Cyrenian, Manaen also—Herod the tetrarch’s foster-brother—and Saul;

Now there were in the church that was at Antioch certain prophets and teachers; as Barnabas, and Simeon that was called Niger, and Lucius of Cyrene, and Manaen, which had been brought up with Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.

2 and in their ministering to the LORD and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, “Separate to Me both Barnabas and Saul to the work to which I have called them,”

As they ministered to the Lord, and fasted, the Holy Spirit (pneuma) said, Separate me Barnabas and Saul for the work unto which I have called them.

3 then having fasted, and having prayed, and having laid the hands on them, they sent [them] away.

And when they had fasted and prayed, and laid their hands on them, they sent them away.

4 These, indeed, then, having been sent forth by the Holy Spirit, went down to Seleucia, and from there they sailed to Cyprus,

So they, being sent forth by the Holy Spirit, (pneuma) departed unto Seleucia; and from thence they sailed to Cyprus.

5 and having come to Salamis, they declared the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews, and they also had John [as] a servant;

And when they were at Salamis, they preached the word (logos) of God in the synagogues of the Jews: and they had also John to their minister.

6 and having gone through the island to Paphos, they found a certain magus, a false prophet, a Jew, whose name [is] Bar-Jesus;

And when they had gone through the isle unto Paphos, they found a certain sorcerer, a false prophet, a Jew, whose name was Barjesus:

7 who was with the proconsul Sergius Paulus, an intelligent man; this one having called for Barnabas and Saul, desired to hear the word of God,

Which was with the deputy of the country, Sergius Paulus, a prudent man; who called for Barnabas and Saul, and desired to hear the word (logos) of God.

8 and there withstood them Elymas the magus—for so is his name interpreted—seeking to pervert the proconsul from the faith.

But Elymas the sorcerer (for so is his name by interpretation) withstood them, seeking to turn away the deputy from the faith.

9 And Saul—who also [is] Paul—having been filled with the Holy Spirit, and having looked steadfastly on him,

Then Saul, (who also is called Paul, ) filled with the Holy Spirit, (pneuma) set his eyes on him.

10 said, “O full of all guile, and all recklessness, son of a devil, enemy of all righteousness, will you not cease perverting the right ways of the LORD?

And said, O full of all subtlety and all mischief, you child of the devil, you enemy of all righteousness, will you not cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord?

11 And now, behold, a hand of the LORD [is] on you, and you will be blind, not seeing the sun for a season”; and instantly there fell on him a mist and darkness, and he, going around, was seeking some to lead [him] by the hand;

And now, behold, the hand of the Lord is upon you, and you shall be blind, not seeing the sun for a season. And immediately there fell on him a mist and a darkness; and he went about seeking some to lead him by the hand.

12 then the proconsul having seen what has come to pass, believed, being astonished at the teaching of the LORD.

Then the deputy, when he saw what was done, believed, being astonished at the doctrine of the Lord.

13 And those around Paul having set sail from Paphos, came to Perga of Pamphylia, and John having departed from them, turned back to Jerusalem,

Now when Paul and his company loosed from Paphos, they came to Perga in Pamphylia: and John departing from them returned to Jerusalem.

14 and they having gone through from Perga, came to Antioch of Pisidia, and having gone into the synagogue on the day of the Sabbaths, they sat down,

But when they departed from Perga, they came to Antioch in Pisidia, and went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and sat down.

15 and after the reading of the Law and of the Prophets, the chief men of the synagogue sent to them, saying, “Men, brothers, if there be a word in you of exhortation to the people—say on.”

And after the reading of the law and the prophets the rulers of the synagogue sent unto them, saying, All of you men and brethren, if all of you have any word (logos) of exhortation for the people, say on.

16 And Paul having risen, and having beckoned with the hand, said, “Men, Israelites, and those fearing God, listen:

Then Paul stood up, and beckoning with his hand said, Men of Israel, and all of you that fear God, give audience.

17 the God of this people Israel chose our fathers, and He exalted the people in their sojourning in the land of Egypt, and He brought them out of it with a high arm;

The God of this people of Israel chose our fathers, and exalted the people when they dwelt as strangers in the land of Egypt, and with an high arm brought he them out of it.

18 and about a period of forty years He endured their conduct in the wilderness,

And about the time of forty years suffered he their manners in the wilderness.

19 and having destroyed seven nations in the land of Canaan, He divided their land to them by lot.

And when he had destroyed seven nations in the land of Chanaan, he divided their land to them by lot.

20 And after these things, about four hundred and fifty years, He gave judges—until Samuel the prophet;

And after that he gave unto them judges about the space of four hundred and fifty years, until Samuel the prophet.

21 and thereafter they asked for a king, and God gave to them Saul, son of Kish, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, for forty years;

And afterward they desired a king: and God gave unto them Saul the son of Cis, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, by the space of forty years.

22 and having removed him, He raised up to them David for king, to whom also having testified, He said, I found David, the [son] of Jesse, a man according to My heart, who will do all My will.

And when he had removed him, he raised up unto them David to be their king; to whom also he gave their testimony, and said, I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after mine own heart, which shall fulfill all my will.

23 Of this one’s seed, God, according to promise, raised to Israel a Savior—Jesus,

Of this man's seed has God according to his promise raised unto Israel a Saviour, Jesus:

24 John having first preached, before His coming, an immersion of conversion to all the people of Israel;

When John had first preached before his coming the baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel.

25 and as John was fulfilling the course, he said, Whom do you suppose I am? I am not [He], but behold, He comes after me, of whom I am not worthy to loose the sandal of [His] feet.

And as John fulfilled his course, he said, Whom think all of you that I am? I am not he. But, behold, there comes one after me, whose shoes of his feet I am not worthy to loose.

26 Men, brothers, sons of the race of Abraham, and those among you fearing God, to you was the word of this salvation sent,

Men and brethren, children of the stock of Abraham, and whosoever among you fears God, to you is the word (logos) of this salvation sent.

27 for those dwelling in Jerusalem, and their chiefs, having not known this One, also the voices of the Prophets, which are being read every Sabbath—having judged [Him]—fulfilled,

For they that dwell at Jerusalem, and their rulers, because they knew him not, nor yet the voices of the prophets which are read every sabbath day, they have fulfilled them in condemning him.

28 and having found no cause of death, they asked of Pilate that He should be slain,

And though they found no cause of death in him, yet desired they Pilate that he should be slain.

29 and when they fulfilled all the things written about Him, having taken [Him] down from the tree, they laid Him in a tomb;

And when they had fulfilled all that was written of him, they took him down from the tree, and laid him in a tomb.

30 and God raised Him out of the dead,

But God raised him from the dead:

31 and He was seen for many days of those who came up with Him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are His witnesses to the people.

And he was seen many days of them which came up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are his witnesses unto the people.

32 And we proclaim good news to you—that the promise made to the fathers,

And we declare unto you glad tidings, how that the promise which was made unto the fathers,

33 God has completed this in full to us their children, having raised up Jesus, as also in the second Psalm it has been written: You are My Son—I have begotten You today.

God has fulfilled the same unto us their children, in that he has raised up Jesus again; as it is also written in the second psalm, You are my Son, this day have I begotten you.

34 And that He raised Him up out of the dead, to no longer return to corruption, He has said this: I will give to You the holy [blessings] of David [that are] faithful;

And as concerning that he raised him up from the dead, now no more to return to corruption, he said likewise, I will give you the sure mercies of David.

35 for what reason He also says in another [place]: You will not give Your Holy One to see corruption;

Wherefore he says also in another psalm, You shall not suffer your Holy One to see corruption.

36 for David, indeed, having served his own generation by the will of God, fell asleep, and was added to his fathers, and saw corruption,

For David, after he had served his own generation by the will of God, fell asleep, and was laid unto his fathers, and saw corruption:

37 but He whom God raised up, did not see corruption.

But he, whom God raised again, saw no corruption.

38 Let it therefore be known to you, men, brothers, that the forgiveness of sins is declared to you through this One,

Be it known unto you therefore, men and brethren, that through this man is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins:

39 and from all things in the Law of Moses from which you were not able to be declared righteous, everyone who is believing in this One is declared righteous;

And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which all of you could not be justified by the law of Moses.

40 see, therefore, it may not come on you that has been spoken in the Prophets:

Beware therefore, lest that come upon you, which is spoken of in the prophets;

41 See, you despisers, and wonder, and perish, because I work a work in your days, a work in which you may not believe, though anyone may declare [it] to you.”

Behold, all of you despisers, and wonder, and perish: for I work a work in your days, a work which all of you shall in no wise believe, though a man declare it unto you.

42 And having gone forth out of the synagogue of the Jews, the nations were calling on [them] that on the next Sabbath these sayings may be spoken to them,

And when the Jews were gone out of the synagogue, the Gentiles besought that these words (rhema) might be preached to them the next sabbath.

43 and the synagogue having been dismissed, many of the Jews and of the devout proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas, who, speaking to them, were persuading them to remain in the grace of God.

Now when the congregation was broken up, many of the Jews and religious proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas: who, speaking to them, persuaded them to continue in the grace of God.

44 And on the coming Sabbath, almost all the city was gathered together to hear the word of God,

And the next sabbath day came almost the whole city together to hear the word (logos) of God.

45 and the Jews having seen the multitudes, were filled with zeal, and contradicted the things spoken by Paul—contradicting and slandering.

But when the Jews saw the multitudes, they were filled with envy, and spoke against those things which were spoken by Paul, contradicting and blaspheming.

46 And speaking boldly, Paul and Barnabas said, “It was necessary that the word of God be first spoken to you, and seeing you thrust it away, and do not judge yourselves worthy of the continuous life, behold, we turn to the nations; (aiōnios g166)

Then Paul and Barnabas waxed bold, and said, It was necessary that the word (logos) of God should first have been spoken to you: but seeing all of you put it from you, and judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting life, lo, we turn to the Gentiles. (aiōnios g166)

47 for so the LORD has commanded us: I have set you for a light of nations—for your being for salvation to the end of the earth.”

For so has the Lord commanded us, saying, I have set you to be a light of the Gentiles, that you should be for salvation unto the ends of the earth.

48 And the nations hearing were glad, and were glorifying the word of the LORD, and believed—as many as were appointed to continuous life; (aiōnios g166)

And when the Gentiles heard this, they were glad, and glorified the word (logos) of the Lord: and as many as were ordained to eternal life believed. (aiōnios g166)

49 and the word of the LORD was spread abroad through all the region.

And the word (logos) of the Lord was published throughout all the region.

50 And the Jews stirred up the devout and honorable women, and the first men of the city, and raised persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and put them out from their borders;

But the Jews stirred up the devout and honourable women, and the chief men of the city, and raised persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and expelled them out of their coasts.
