said, O thou full of all guile and all mischief, thou child of the devil, thou enemy of all righteousness, wilt thou not cease perverting the strait ways of the Lord?

11 And now behold [the] hand (*k*) of the Lord [is] upon you, and you will be blind not seeing the sun during a season. Immediately (then descended *N(k)O*) upon him mist and darkness, and going about he was seeking one to lead by hand.

And now, behold, the hand of the Lord is upon thee, and thou shalt be blind, seeing the sun no more for a season. And instantly there fell on him a thick mist and darkness; and groping about he sought some to lead him by the hand.

12 Then having seen the proconsul that having happened he believed being astonished at the teaching of the Lord.

Then when the proconsul saw what was done, he believed, being struck with the doctrine of the Lord.

33 that this God has fulfilled to the children of them (to us *NK(O)*) having raised up Jesus, as also in the psalm it has been written in the (second *NK(O)*) Son of Mine are You yourself, I myself today have begotten you.’

for this hath God fulfilled to their children, even to us, in raising up Jesus: as it is also written in the second Psalm, “Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee.”

34 for then He raised Him out from [the] dead no more being about to return to decay, thus He has spoken that I will give to you the holy [blessings] of David the sure [blessings].’

But that he raised him from the dead, no more in future to return to corruption, he hath thus spoken, “I will give you the holy things of David, which are sure.”

35 (therefore *N(k)O*) also in another He says: Not You will allow the Holy One of you to see decay.’

Wherefore also he saith in another place, “Thou wilt not permit thy Holy One to see corruption.”

36 David indeed for in his own generation having served the of God purpose he fell asleep and he was added to the fathers of him and saw decay;

41 Behold! you scoffers, and do wonder and do perish for a work am working I myself in the days of you, a work (that *N(k)O*) certainly not you may believe even if one shall declare it to you.’

“Behold, ye despisers, and wonder, and perish: for I do a work in your days, a work which ye shall in no wise believe, though one declare it unto you.”

42 When are departing then (they *no*) (from the *k*) (synagogue *K*) (of the *k*) (Jews *K*) were begging (the gentiles *K*) on the next Sabbath to be spoken to them declarations these.

But when the Jews were going out of the synagogue, the Gentiles entreated that these words might be spoken to them the following sabbath.

Then Paul and Barnabas speaking with undaunted boldness, said, It was necessary that the word of God should be first spoken unto you: but since ye have thrust it from you, and judged yourselves not worthy of eternal life, lo! we turn to the Gentiles. (aiōnios g166)

47 Thus for has commanded us the Lord: I have set you for a light of [the] Gentiles to be you for salvation until [the] uttermost part of the earth.’

For so hath the Lord enjoined us, “I have set thee for a light of the Gentiles, that thou mightest be for salvation unto the extremity of the earth.”
