Acts 13 — Scripture text (King James Version)
Now1161 there were2258 in2596 1577 that was5607 at1722 490 certain5100 prophets4396 and2532 teachers1320; as5037 921, and2532 4826 that was called2564 Niger3526, and2532 Lucius3066 of Cyrene2956, and5037 Manaen3127, which had been brought up4939 with 2264 the tetrarch5076, and2532 4569. which: or, Herod's foster brother As1161 they846 ministered3008 to the Lord2962, and2532 fasted3522, the Holy40 Ghost4151 said2036,1211 Separate873 me3427 5037 921 and2532 4569 for1519 the work2041 whereunto3739 I have called4341 them846. And5119 when they had fasted3522 and2532 prayed4336, and2532 laid2007 their hands5495 2007 them846, they sent them away630. So3303 3767 they3778, being sent forth1599 by5259 the Holy40 Ghost4151, departed2718 unto1519 Seleucia4581; and from1564 thence5037 they sailed636 to1519 2954. And2532 when they were1096 at1722 4529, they preached2605 3056 of God2316 in1722 the synagogues4864 of the 2453: and1161 they had2192 also2532 2491 to their minister5257. And1161 when they had gone through1330 the isle3520 unto891 3974, they found2147 a certain5100 sorcerer3097, a false prophet5578, a Jew2453, whose3739 name3686 was Barjesus919: Which3739 was2258 with4862 the deputy of the country446, Sergius4588 Paulus3972, a prudent4908 man435; who3778 called4341 for 921 and2532 4569, and desired1934 to hear191 3056 of God2316. But1161 Elymas1681 the sorcerer3097 (for1063 so3779 is his846 name3686 by interpretation3177) withstood436 them846, seeking2212 to turn away1294 the deputy446 from575 the 4102. Then1161 4569, (who3588 also2532 is called 3972,) filled with4130 the Holy40 Ghost4151,2532 set his eyes816 1519 him846, And said2036, O5599 full4134 of all3956 subtilty1388 and2532 all3956 mischief4468, thou child5207 of 1228, thou enemy2190 of all3956 1343, wilt thou3973 not3756 cease3973 to pervert1294 the right2117 ways3598 of the Lord2962? And2532 now3568, behold2400, the hand5495 of the Lord2962 is upon1909 thee4571, and2532 thou shalt be2071 blind5185, not3361 seeing991 the sun2246 for891 a season2540. And1161 immediately3916 there fell1968 1909 him846 a mist887 and2532 a darkness4655; and2532 he went about4013 seeking2212 some to lead him by the hand5497. Then5119 the deputy446, when he saw1492 what was done1096, believed4100, being astonished1605 at1909 the doctrine1322 of the Lord2962. Now1161 when 3972 and his company4012 loosed321 from575 3974, they came2064 to1519 Perga4011 in 3828: and1161 2491 departing672 from575 them846 returned5290 to1519 2414. But1161 when they846 departed1330 from575 Perga4011, they came3854 to1519 490 in Pisidia4099, and2532 went1525 into1519 the synagogue4864 the 4521 day2250, and sat down2523. And1161 after3326 the reading320 of 3551 and2532 the prophets4396 the rulers of the synagogue752 sent649 unto4314 them846, saying3004, Ye men435 and brethren80, if1487 ye have2076 1722 5213 any word3056 of exhortation3874 for4314 the people2992, say 3004. Then1161 3972 stood up450, and2532 beckoning2678 with his hand5495 said2036, Men435 of 2475, and2532 ye that fear5399 God2316, give audience191. The God2316 of this5127 people2992 of 2474 chose1586 our2257 fathers3962, and2532 exalted5312 the people2992 when1722 they dwelt as strangers3940 in1722 the land1093 of 125, and2532 with3326 an high5308 arm1023 brought he1806 them846 out of1537 it846. And2532 about5613 the time5550 of forty years5063 suffered he5159 their846 manners5159 in1722 the wilderness2048. suffered: or bore, or fed them as a nurse beareth, or feedeth, her child And2532 when he had destroyed2507 seven2033 nations1484 in1722 the land1093 of Chanaan5477, he divided2624 their846 land1093 to them846 by 2624. And2532 after3326 that5023 he gave1325 unto them judges2923 about5613 the space of four hundred5071 and2532 fifty4004 years2094, until2193 4545 the prophet4396. And afterward2547 they desired154 a king935: and2532 God2316 gave1325 unto them846 4549 the son5207 of Cis2797, a man435 of1537 the tribe5443 of 958, by the space of forty5062 years2094. And2532 when he had removed3179 him846, he raised up1453 unto them846 1138 to be1519 their king935; to whom3739 also2532 he gave testimony3140, and said2036, I have found2147 1138 the son of 2421, a man435 after2596 mine own3450 heart2588, which3739 shall fulfil4160 all3956 my3450 will2307. Of575 this man's5127 seed4690 hath1453 God2316 according2596 to his promise1860 raised1453 unto 2474 a Saviour4990, 2424: When 2491 had first preached4296 before4253 his846 coming4383 1529 the 908 of 3341 to all3956 the people2992 of 2474. And1161 as5613 2491 fulfilled4137 his course1408, he said3004, Whom5101 think ye5282 that I3165 am1511? I1473 am1510 not3756 he. But235, behold2400, there cometh one2064 after3326 me1691, whose3739 shoes5266 of his feet4228 I am1510 not3756 worthy514 to loose3089. Men435 and brethren80, children5207 of the stock1085 of 11, and2532 whosoever among1722 you5213 feareth5399 God2316, to you5213 is649 3056 of this5026 4991 sent649. For1063 they that dwell2730 at1722 2419, and2532 their846 rulers758, because they knew50 him5126 not50, nor yet2532 the voices5456 of the prophets4396 which3588 are read314 2596 every3956 day4521, they have fulfilled4137 them in condemning2919 him. And2532 though they found2147 no3367 cause156 of death2288 in him, yet desired they154 Pilate4091 that he846 should be slain337. And1161 when5613 they had fulfilled5055 all537 that was written1125 of4012 him846, they took him down2507 from575 3586, and laid5087 him in1519 a sepulchre3419. But1161 God2316 raised1453 him846 from1537 the dead3498: And he3739 was seen3700 many1909 4119 days2250 of them which came up with4872 him846 from575 1056 to1519 2419, who3748 are1526 his846 witnesses3144 unto4314 the people2992. And2532 we2249 declare2097 unto you5209 glad tidings2097, how that3754 the promise1860 which was made1096 unto4314 the fathers3962, God2316 hath fulfilled1603 the same5026 unto us2254 their846 children5043, in that he hath raised up450 2424 again450; as5613 it is1125 also2532 written1125 in1722 the second1208 psalm5568, Thou4771 art1488 my3450 Son5207, this day4594 have I1473 begotten1080 thee4571. And1161 as concerning that3754 he raised450 him846 up450 from1537 the dead3498, now no more3371 to3195 return5290 to1519 corruption1312, he said2046 this wise3779,3754 I will give1325 you5213 the sure4103 mercies3741 of 1138. mercies: Gr. holy, or just things: which word the in many places, uses for that which is in the , mercies Wherefore1352 he saith3004 also2532 in1722 another2087 psalm, Thou shalt1325 not3756 suffer1325 thine4675 Holy One3741 to see1492 corruption1312. For1063 3303 1138, after he had served5256 his own2398 generation1074 by the will1012 of God2316, fell sleep2837, and2532 was laid4369 unto4314 his846 fathers3962, and2532 saw1492 corruption1312: after: or, after he had in his own age served the will of God But1161 he, whom3739 God2316 raised again1453, saw1492 no3756 corruption1312. Be it2077 known1110 unto you5213 therefore3767, men435 and brethren80, that3754 through1223 this man5127 is preached2605 unto you5213 the 859 of sins266: And2532 by1722 him5129 all3956 that believe4100 are justified1344 from575 all things3956, from which3739 ye could1410 not3756 be justified1344 by1722 3551 of 3475. Beware991 therefore3767, lest that3361 come1904 upon1909 you5209, which is spoken of2046 in1722 the prophets4396; Behold1492, ye despisers2707, and2532 2296, and2532 perish853: for3754 I1473 work2038 a work2041 in1722 your5216 days2250, a work2041 which3739 ye shall4100 in no wise3364 believe4100, though1437 a man5100 declare it1555 unto you5213. And1161 when the 2453 were gone1826 out of1537 the synagogue4864, the 1484 besought3870 that these5023 words4487 might be preached2980 to them846 1519 the next3342 4521. the next: Gr. in the week between, or, in the between Now1161 when the congregation4864 was broken up3089, many4183 of the 2453 and2532 religious4576 proselytes4339 followed190 3972 and2532 921: who3748, speaking4354 to them846, persuaded3982 them846 to continue1961 in the 5485 of God2316. And1161 the next2064 day4521 came4863 almost4975 the whole3956 city4172 together4863 to hear191 3056 of God2316. But1161 when the 2453 saw1492 the multitudes3793, they were filled4130 with envy2205, and2532 spake against483 those things which were spoken3004 by5259 3972, contradicting483 and2532 blaspheming987. Then1161 3972 and2532 921 waxed bold3955, and said2036, It was2258 necessary316 that 3056 of God2316 should2980 first4412 have been spoken2980 to you5213: but1161 seeing1894 ye 683 it846 from you683, and2532 judge2919 yourselves1438 unworthy3756 514 of everlasting166 life2222, lo2400, we turn4762 to1519 the 1484. For1063 so3779 hath1781 the Lord2962 commanded1781 us2254, saying, I have set5087 thee4571 to be1519 a light5457 of the 1484, that thou4571 shouldest be1511 for1519 4991 unto2193 the ends2078 of the earth1093. And1161 when the 1484 heard this191, they were glad5463, and2532 glorified1392 3056 of the Lord2962: and2532 as many as3745 were2258 ordained5021 to1519 eternal166 life2222 believed4100. And1161 3056 of the Lord2962 was published1308 throughout1223 all3650 the region5561. But1161 the 2453 stirred up3951 the devout4576 and2532 honourable2158 women1135, and2532 the chief men4413 of the city4172, and2532 raised1892 persecution1375 against1909 3972 and2532 921, and2532 expelled1544 them846 out of575 their846 coasts3725. But1161 they shook off1621 the dust2868 of their846 feet4228 against1909 them846, and came2064 unto1519 2430. And1161 the disciples3101 were filled with4137 joy5479, and2532 with the Holy40 Ghost4151.
