Acts 13

1 There were now (some *k) in Antioch in what is [the] church prophets and teachers, both Barnabas and Simeon who is being called Niger and Lucius the Cyrenian, Manaen also — with Herod the tetrarch brought up — and Saul.

2 As were ministering now they to the Lord and fasting said the Spirit Holy; do set apart then to Me (both *k) Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them.

3 Then having fasted and having prayed and having laid the hands on them they sent [them] off.

4 (They themselves *N+kO) indeed therefore having been sent forth by of the Holy (the *k) Spirit went down to Seleucia, From there (then *NK+o) they sailed to Cyprus.

5 And having come into Salamis they were proclaiming the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews; They had now also John [as] a helper.

6 Having passed through now (all *NO) the island as far as Paphos they found (a man — *NO) a certain magician a false prophet Jewish — whose name (of Bar-Jesus, *N+kO)

7 who was with the proconsul Sergius Paulus, man an intelligent. He having called to [him] Barnabas and Saul desired to hear the word of God.

8 Was opposing however to them Elymas the magician — thus for means the name of him — seeking to turn away the proconsul from the faith.

9 Saul then also [called] Paul having been filled [the] Spirit Holy (and *k) having looked intently upon him

10 said; O full of all deceit and all craft, son of [the] devil, enemy of all righteousness, not will you cease perverting the ways (of the *no) Lord upright?

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

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

13 Having sailed then from Paphos [with] those around [him] Paul came to Perga of Pamphylia. John however having departed from them he returned to Jerusalem.

14 They themselves now having passed through from Perga came to Antioch (Pisidia, *N+kO) and (having gone *NK+o) into the synagogue on the day of the Sabbaths they sat down.

15 After then the reading of the law and of the Prophets sent the rulers of the synagogue to them saying; Men brothers, if any there is among you a word of exhortation toward the people, do speak.

16 Having risen up then Paul and having made a sign with the hand he said; Men Israelites and you who [are] fearing God, do listen.

17 The God of the people this of Israel chose the fathers of us and the people exalted in the sojourn in [the] land (of Egypt *N+kO) and with arm uplifted brought them out of it;

18 and of about forty years for a period He endured the ways of them in the wilderness,

19 and having destroyed nations seven in [the] land of Canaan He gave as an inheritance (to them *k) the land of them —

20 during years four hundred and fifty; And after these things He gave [them] judges until Samuel the prophet;

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

22 And having removed him He raised up David to them as king, to whom also He said having carried witness: I have found David the [son of] Jesse a man according to the heart of Mine, who will do all the will of Mine.

23 Of this [man] the God of the seed according to promise (has brought *N+KO) to Israel ([the] Savior *NK+O) Jesus —

24 When was proclaiming John before [the] face of the coming of Him a baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel.

25 While then was fulfilling John the course he was saying; (whom *N+kO) me myself do you suppose to be? Not am [he] I myself; but behold He comes after me myself of whom not I am worthy the sandal of the feet to untie.

26 Men brothers, sons of [the] family of Abraham and you who [are] among you fearing God, (to us *N+KO) the message of the salvation this (was sent out. *N+kO)

27 Those for dwelling in Jerusalem and the rulers of them Him not having known and the voices of the prophets that on every Sabbath are being read, having condemned [Him] they fulfilled [them];

28 And no cause of death having found they begged Pilate to execute him.

29 When then they had finished (all *N+kO) the [things] about Him written, having taken [Him] down from the tree they put [Him] in a tomb.

30 But God raised Him out from [the] dead,

31 who appeared for days many to those having come up with Him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who (now *NO) are witnesses of Him to the people.

32 And we ourselves to you evangelise the to the fathers promise having been made,

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.’

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].’

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

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;

37 The [One] however God raised up not did see decay.

38 Known therefore it should be to you, men brothers, that through this One to you forgiveness of sins is proclaimed;

39 And from all things from which not you were able in (the *k) law of Moses to be justified, in Him everyone who is believing is justified.

40 do take heed therefore lest may come about (upon you *K) that said in the prophets:

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+kO) certainly not you may believe even if one shall declare it to 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.

43 When was releasing then the synagogue followed many of the Jews and of the worshipping converts after Paul and after Barnabas, who speaking to them were persuading them (to continue *N+kO) in the grace of God.

44 On the (now *NK+o) coming Sabbath almost all the city was gathered together to hear the word (of the Lord. *N+KO)

45 Having seen however the Jews the crowds they were filled with jealousy and were contradicting the [things] by Paul (spoken *N+kO) (denying and *K) denigrating [him].

46 Having spoken boldly (also *N+kO) Paul and Barnabas said; To you it was necessary first to be spoken the word of God; but since (now *ko) you thrust away it and not worthy you judge yourselves of eternal life, behold we are turning 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.’

48 Hearing [it] then the Gentiles (were rejoicing *NK+o) and they were glorifying the word of the (Lord *NK+O) and they believed as many as were appointed to life eternal. (aiōnios g166)

49 Was carried then the word of the Lord through all the region.

50 The but Jews incited the worshipping women (and *k) [those] prominent and the principals of the city and they stirred up a persecution against Paul and Barnabas and expelled them from the district of them.

51 But having shaken off the dust of the feet (of them *k) against them they went to Iconium.

52 (and *N+kO) the disciples were filled with joy and [the] Spirit Holy.
