As they served the Lord and fasted, the Holy Spirit said, “Separate Barnabas and Saul for me, for the work to which I have called them.”
3 Then fasted they and prayed and put their hondes on them and let them goo.
Then, when they had fasted and prayed and laid their hands on them, they sent them away.
4 And they after they were sent of the holy goost came vnto Seleutia and from thence they sayled to Cyprus.
So, being sent out by the Holy Spirit, they went down to Seleucia. From there they sailed to Cyprus.
5 And when they were come to Salamine they shewed ye worde of God in ye synagoges of ye Iewes. And they had Iohn to their minister.
When they were at Salamis, they proclaimed God’s word in the Jewish synagogues. They also had John as their attendant.

Now, behold, the hand of the Lord is on you, and you will be blind, not seeing the sun for a season!” Immediately a mist and darkness fell on him. He went around seeking someone to lead him by the hand.
12 Then the rular when he sawe what had happened beleved and wodred at the doctryne of the Lorde.
Then the proconsul, when he saw what was done, believed, being astonished at the teaching of the Lord.
13 When they that were with Paule were departed by shyppe fro Paphus they cam to Perga a cite of Pamphilia: and there Iohn departed from them and returned to Ierusalem.
Now Paul and his company set sail from Paphos and came to Perga in Pamphylia. John departed from them and returned to Jerusalem.
14 But they wandred thorowe the countres fro Perga to Antioche a cite of the coutre of Pisidia and wet in to the synagoge on the saboth daye and sate doune.
But they, passing on from Perga, came to Antioch of Pisidia. They went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day and sat down.
15 And after the lawe and ye Prophetes were redde ye rulers of the synagoge sent vnto them sayinge: Ye men and brethren yf ye have eny sermo to exhorte ye people saye on.
After the reading of the law and the prophets, the rulers of the synagogue sent to them, saying, “Brothers, if you have any word of exhortation for the people, speak.”

Paul stood up, and gesturing with his hand said, “Men of Israel, and you who fear God, listen.

22 And after he had put him doune he set vp David to be their kynge of whome he reported sayinge: I have founde David the sonne of Iesse a man after myne awne hert he shall fulfill all my will.
When he had removed him, he raised up David to be their king, to whom he also testified, ‘I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after my heart, who will do all my will.’
23 Of this manes seed hath God (accordinge to his promes) brought forth to the people of Israel a saviour one Iesus
From this man’s offspring, God has brought salvation to Israel according to his promise,
24 when Iohn had fyrst preached before his cominge the baptyme of repentauce to Israel.
before his coming, when John had first preached the baptism of repentance to Israel.
25 And when Iohn had fulfylled his course he sayde: whome ye thinke that I am the same am I not. But beholde ther cometh one after me whose shewes of his fete I am not worthy to lowse.
As John was fulfilling his course, he said, ‘What do you suppose that I am? I am not he. But behold, one comes after me, the sandals of whose feet I am not worthy to untie.’

For those who dwell in Jerusalem, and their rulers, because they didn’t know him, nor the voices of the prophets which are read every Sabbath, fulfilled them by condemning him.
28 And when they founde no cause of deeth in him yet desyred they Pylate to kyll him.

But God raised him from the dead,
31 and he was sene many dayes of them which came wt him fro Galile to Ierusalem. Which are his witnesses vnto the people.
and he was seen for many days by those who came up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are his witnesses to the people.
32 And we declare vnto you how that ye promes made vnto the fathers
We bring you good news of the promise made to the fathers,

that God has fulfilled this to us, their children, in that he raised up Jesus. As it is also written in the second psalm, ‘You are my Son. Today I have become your father.’
34 As concernynge that he reysed him vp from deeth now no more to returne to corrupcion he sayde on this wyse: The holy promyses made to David I will geve them faithfully to you.
“Concerning that he raised him up from the dead, now no more to return to corruption, he has spoken thus: ‘I will give you the holy and sure blessings of David.’
35 Wherfore he saith also in another place: Thou shalt not soffre thyne holye to se corrupcion.
Therefore he says also in another psalm, ‘You will not allow your Holy One to see decay.’
36 Howbe it David after he had in his tyme fulfilled the will of God he slepte and was layde with his fathers and sawe corrupcion.
For David, after he had in his own generation served the counsel of God, fell asleep, was laid with his fathers, and saw decay.
37 But he whom God reysed agayne sawe no corrupcion.
But he whom God raised up saw no decay.

Beware therefore, lest that come on you which is spoken in the prophets:
41 Beholde ye despisers and wonder and perishe ye: for I do aworke in youre dayes which ye shall not beleve yf a ma wolde declare it you.
‘Behold, you scoffers! Wonder and perish, for I work a work in your days, a work which you will in no way believe, if one declares it to you.’”
42 When they were come out of the Synagoge of the Iewes the getyls besought yt they wolde preache the worde to them bitwene the Saboth dayes.
So when the Jews went out of the synagogue, the Gentiles begged that these words might be preached to them the next Sabbath.
43 When the congregacion was broken vp many of the Iewes and verteous covertes folowed Paul and Barnabas which spake to them and exhorted them to cotinue in the grace of God.
Now when the synagogue broke up, many of the Jews and of the devout proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas; who, speaking to them, urged them to continue in the grace of God.
44 And ye nexte Saboth daye came almoste the whole cite to gether to heare the worde of God.
The next Sabbath, almost the whole city was gathered together to hear the word of God.
45 When ye Iewes sawe the people they were full of indignacion and spake agaynst those thinges which were spoken of Paul spekinge agaynst it and raylinge on it.
But when the Jews saw the multitudes, they were filled with jealousy, and contradicted the things which were spoken by Paul, and blasphemed.
46 Then Paul and Barnabas wexed bolde and sayde: it was mete that the worde of God shulde fyrst have bene preached to you. But seinge ye put it from you and thinke youre selfes onworthy of everlastinge lyfe: lo we turne to the gentyls. (aiōnios g166)
Paul and Barnabas spoke out boldly, and said, “It was necessary that God’s word should be spoken to you first. Since indeed you thrust it from yourselves, and judge yourselves unworthy of eternal life, behold, we turn to the Gentiles. (aiōnios g166)
47 For so hath the Lorde comaunded vs: I have made ye a light to the getyls yt thou be salvacio vnto ye ende of ye worlde.
For so has the Lord commanded us, saying, ‘I have set you as a light for the Gentiles, that you should bring salvation to the uttermost parts of the earth.’”
48 The getyls hearde and were glad and glorified the worde of ye Lorde and beleved: eve as many as were ordeyned vnto eternall lyfe. (aiōnios g166)
As the Gentiles heard this, they were glad and glorified the word of God. As many as were appointed to eternal life believed. (aiōnios g166)
49 And ye worde of the Lorde was publisshed thorowe oute all the region.
The Lord’s word was spread abroad throughout all the region.
