And, therefore, in another Psalm it is said — ‘Thou wilt not give up the Holy One to undergo corruption.’

But the sight of the crowds of people filled the minds of the Jews with jealousy, and they kept contradicting Paul’s statements in violent language.

Then Paul and Barnabas spoke out fearlessly, and said: “It was necessary that the Message of God should be told to you first; but, since you reject it and reckon yourselves not worthy of the Immortal Life — we turn to the Gentiles! (aiōnios g166)
47 Ecen hala manatzen draucu Iaunac, dioela, Ordenatu aut hi Gentilén argui içateco, saluamendu aicençat lurraren bazterrerano.
For this is the Lord’s command to us — ‘I have destined thee for a Light to the Gentiles, A means of Salvation to the ends of the earth’.”

But the Jews incited the women of position who worshiped with them, and the leading men of the town, and started a persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and drove them out of their neighbourhood.

They, however, shook the dust off their feet in protest,
52 Eta discipuluac bethatzen ciraden bozcarioz eta Spiritu sainduaz.
