Then they having fasted and prayed, and laid hands on them, sent them away.
4 But thei weren sent of the Hooli Goost, and wenten forth to Seleucia, and fro thennus thei wenten bi boot to Cipre.
Then they indeed, having been sent away by the Holy Ghost, came down to Seleucia; and thence sailed away to Cyprus.

but Elymas the magician (for thus his name is interpreted) opposed them, seeking to turn away the proconsul from the faith.
9 But Saul, which is seid also Paul, was fillid with the Hooli Goost, and bihelde in to hym, and seide, A!
And Saul, (who is also Paul), being filled with the Holy Ghost, fixing his eyes on him,
10 thou ful of al gile, and al falsnesse, thou sone of the deuel, thou enemye of al riytwisnesse, thou leeuest not to turne vpsodoun the riytful weies of the Lord.
said, O thou full of all guile and rascality, thou son of the devil, thou enemy of all righteousness, wilt thou not cease perverting the right ways of God?
11 And now lo! the hoond of the Lord is on thee, and thou schalt be blynde, and not seynge the sunne in to a tyme. And anoon myste and derknesse felden doun on hym; and he yede aboute, and souyte hym that schulde yyue hoond to hym.
And now, behold, the hand of the Lord is upon thee, and thou shalt be blind, not seeing the sun for a time. And immediately there fell on him a mist and darkness; and going about he was seeking people to lead him by the hand.

Then the deputy, seeing that which took place, believed; being delighted with the teaching of the Lord.

And after the reading of the law and the prophets, the chief rulers of the synagogue sent to them, saying, Men, brethren, if there is any word of consolation to the people in you, speak.
16 And Poul roos, and with hoond baad silence, and seide, Men of Israel, and ye that dreden God, here ye.
And Paul, rising up, and beckoning with his hand said; Israelitish men, and those fearing God, hear.

The God of this people Israel chose our fathers, and exalted the people during their sojourn in the land of Egypt, and with a strong arm led them out of it;
18 and bi the tyme of fourti yeeris he suffride her maneres in desert.

From whose seed according to the promise he led forth Jesus, the Savior, to Israel:
24 whanne Joon prechide bifor the face of his comyng the baptym of penaunce to al the puple of Israel.
and John having preached the baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel, before the face of his coming.

And when John fulfilled his course, he said, What do you consider me to be? I am not he: but, behold, there comes one after me, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to loose.

Therefore He also says in another place, Thou wilt not suffer thy Holy One to see corruption.
36 But Dauid in his generacioun, whanne he hadde mynstrid to the wille of God, diede, and was leid with hise fadris, and say corrupcioun;
For David, indeed having served his own generation according to the will of God, went to sleep, and did see corruption:
37 but he whom God reiside fro deth, say not corrupcioun.
but he, whom God raised up, did not see corruption.

Then let it be known unto you, men brethren, that through this one remission of sins is preached:
39 In this ech man that bileueth, is iustified.

Behold, ye despisers, and wonder, and vanish away: because I work a work in your days, a work which you may not believe, though one may proclaim it to you.
42 And whanne thei yeden out, thei preieden, that in the sabat suynge thei schulden speke to hem these wordis.
And they going out, they continued to entreat them that these words should be spoken to them on the next Sabbath.

And the Jews seeing the multitudes, were filled with jealousy, and contradicted the word spoken by Paul, contradicting and blaspheming.

And Paul and Barnabas speaking boldly, said, It was necessary that the word of God should first be spoken to you: since you have rejected it, and judge yourselves not worthy of eternal life, behold we now turn to the Gentiles. (aiōnios g166)
47 For so the Lord comaundide vs, Y haue set thee in to liyt to hethen men, that thou be in to helthe to the vtmest of erthe.
For thus the Lord has commanded us, I have placed thee for a light of the Gentiles, that thou shalt be for salvation unto the extremity of the earth.
