1 Were and some in Antioch in the being congregation prophets and teachers, the both Barnabas and Simon that being called Black, and Lucius the Cyrenian, Manaen also, of Herod the tetrarch a foster brother, and Saul.
2 Serving and of them the Lord and fasting, said the spirit the holy: Separate you indeed for me the Barnabas and the Saul for the work, which I have called them.
3 Then having fasted and having prayed, and having laid the hands to them, they sent forth.
4 These indeed then having been sent forth by the spirit the holy, went down into the Seleucia, thence and sailed into the Cyprus.
5 And having arrived in Salamis, they announced the word of the God in the synagogues of the Jews; they had and also John an attendant.
6 Having gone through and whole the island to Paphos, they found a certain magian, a false prophet a Jew, to whom a name BarJesus,
7 who was with the proconsul Sergius Paulus, a man intelligent. This having summoned Barnabas and Saul, desired to hear the word of the God.
8 Stood against but them Elymas the magian, (thus for it translated the name of him,) seeking to turn away the proconsul from the faith.
9 Saul but (he also Paul) being filled of spirit holy, and having looked earnestly on him,
10 said: O full of all deceit and of all ready working, O son of an accuser, enemy of all righteousness, not wilt thou cease perverting the ways of Lord the straight?
11 And now lo, a hand of Lord on thee, and thou shalt be blind, not seeing the sun till a season. Immediately and fell on him a mist and darkness; and going about he sought guides.
12 Then seeing the proconsul that having been done, believed, being astonished at the teaching of the Lord.
13 Having set sail and from the Paphos those about the Paul, came into Perga of the Pamphylia. John but, having gone away from them, returned into Jerusalem.
14 They and having passed through from the Perga went to Antioch of the Pisidia, and having entered into the synagogue in the day of the sabbaths, they sat down.
15 After and the reading of the law and the prophets, sent the synagoguerulers to them, saying: Men brethren, if is a word in you of consolation to the people, say you.
16 Having stood up and Paul, and having waved the hand, said: Men Israelites, and those fearing the God, hear you.
17 The God of the people this chose the fathers of you; and the people exalted in the sojourning in land of Egypt, and with an arm lifted up be brought them out of her;
18 and about forty years time he nourished them in the desert;
19 and having cast out nations seven in land of Canaan, he distributed by lot to them the land of them.
20 And after these things about years four hundred and fifty he gave judges, till Samuel the prophet.
21 And then they asked for a king, and gave to them the God the Saul son of Kish, a man of tribe of Benjamin, years forty.
22 And having removed him, he raised up to them the David for a king, to whom also he said having testified: I found David, that of the Jesse, a man according to the heart of me, who will do all the will of me.
23 This the God from the seed according to promise brought forth to the Israel a savior Jesus,
24 having announced before of John before face of the entrance of him a dipping of reformation to all the people Israel.
25 As and was fulfilling the John the race, he said: Who me do you suppose to be? not am I, but lo, comes after me, of whom not I am worthy the sandal of the feet to loose.
26 Men brethren, sons race of Abraham, and those among you fearing the God, to you the word of the salvation this is sent.
27 Those for dwelling in Jerusalem, and the rulers of them, him not knowing, and the voices of the prophets those in every sabbath being read, judging fulfilled.
28 And no one cause of death having found, they asked Pilate to kill him.
29 When and they finished all the things concerning him having been written, having taken down from the cross, they placed in a tomb.
30 The but God raised him out of dead ones,
31 who appeared on days many to those having gone up with him from of the Galilee into Jerusalem, who are witnesses of him to the people.
32 And we you address with glad tidings that to the fathers promise having been made, that this the God has fulfilled to the children of them to us, having raised up Jesus;
33 as also in the first psalm it is written: A son of me art thou, I today have begotten thee.
34 Because and he raised him out of dead ones, no more being about to return to corruption, thus he said: That I will give to you the holy things of David the faithful.
35 Therefore also in another he says: Not thou wilt permit the holy one of thee to see corruption.
36 David indeed for own generation having served by the of the God will fell asleep, and was laid with the fathers of himself and saw corruption;
37 whom but the God raised up, not saw corruption.
38 Know therefore let it be to you, men brethren, that through this to you forgiveness of sins is announced;
39 and from all things, which not you are able by the law of Moses to be justified in him every one the believing is justified.
40 See then, not may come upon you that having been spoken by the prophets;
41 behold you the despisers, and wonder you, and disappear you; because a work I work in the days of you, a work, which not not you would believe, if one should narrate to you.
42 Having gone out and of them, they desired on the next sabbath to be spoken to them the words these.
43 Being broken up and the synagogue, followed many of the Jews and of the worshiping proselytes the Paul and the Barnabas; who speaking to them, persuaded them to continue in the favor of the God.
44 On the and coming sabbath, almost all the city came together to hear the word of the God.
45 Seeing and the Jews the crowds, they were filled of zeal, and spoke against the things by the Paul being spoken, contradicting and blaspheming.
46 Speaking freely and the Paul and the Barnabas said: To you it was necessary first to be spoken the word of the God; since but you trust away him, and not worthy judge yourselves of the agelasting life, lo, we turn to the Gentiles.
47 Thus for has commanded us the Lord: I have set thee for a light of nations, the to be thee for salvation to end of the earth.
48 Having heard and the Gentiles rejoiced, and glorified the word of the Lord; and believed as many as were having been disposed for life agelasting.
49 Was published and the word of the Lord through whole of the country.
50 The but Jews stirred up the religious women the honorable, and the chiefs of the city, and raised a persecution against the Paul and the Barnabas, and cast out them from the borders of them.
51 They but having shaken off the dust of the feet of them against them, came into Iconium.
52 The and disciples were filled joy and spirit holy.
1 There were prophets and teachers in the congregation at Antioch. This included: Barnabas, and Simeon called Niger, and Lucius of Cyrene, and Manaen, who had been brought up with Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.
2 As they ministered to God, and fasted, the Holy Spirit said: »Set Barnabas and Saul apart for the work I have called them.«
3 After they fasted and prayed, they laid their hands on them and sent them away.
4 Being sent by Holy Spirit, they went to Seleucia. From there they sailed to Cyprus.
5 They preached the Word of God in the synagogues of the Jews at Salamis. John was also there as an attendant.
6 They traveled the whole island until they came to Paphos. There they found Barjesus. He was a sorcerer, a false prophet and a Jew.
7 He was with the deputy of the country, Sergius Paulus, a prudent man, who called for Barnabas and Saul, and desired to hear the word of God.
8 But Elymas the sorcerer opposed them, seeking to turn away the deputy from the faith.
9 Then Saul, who also is called Paul, filled with the Holy Spirit, set his eyes on him,
10 And said: »You child of the devil, full of all subtlety and mischief, you enemy of all righteousness, will you not cease to pervert the right ways of Jehovah?
11 »Look Jehovahs hand is on you. You will be blind and not see the sun for a season.« Immediately there fell on him a mist and darkness. He went about seeking some to lead him by the hand.
12 When he saw what was done the deputy believed. He was astonished at the teaching of God.
13 Paul and his company put out to sea from Paphos. They went to Perga in Pamphylia. John left them to return to Jerusalem.
14 When they left Perga, they went to Antioch in Pisidia. They went to the synagogue on the Sabbath day, and sat down.
15 After the public reading of the law and the prophets the synagogue officials sent to them, saying: »You men and brothers if you have a message of encouragement for the people speak.«
16 Then Paul stood up gestured with his hand and said: »Men of Israel, and you who reverence God, listen.«
17 »The God of this people of Israel chose our fathers, and exalted the people when they lived as strangers in the land of Egypt. He brought them out of Egypt with his great strength.
18 »He cared for them and endured their bad conduct in the wilderness for forty years.
19 »He destroyed seven nations in Canaan and gave their land to his people as their inheritance.
20 »Then he gave them judges until Samuel the prophet. This took about four hundred and fifty years.
21 »Afterward they desired a king. God gave Saul the son of Kish, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, to them for forty years.
22 »When he removed him, he made David their king. He testified about him when he said: I found David the son of Jesse is a man after my own heart. He will do my will.
23 »God brought the Savior Jesus to Israel from this mans descendants.
24 »Before Jesus came John preached the baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel.
25 »As John accomplished his purpose he asked: Who do you think I am? I am not that one. One comes after me whose shoes I am not worthy to untie.
26 »Men and brothers, children of Abraham, and you of the nations who respect God, the message of salvation is sent to you.
27 »The people of Jerusalem and their rulers did not know Jesus. They fulfilled the words of the prophets that are read every Sabbath when they condemned Jesus.
28 »They found no grounds for the death sentence for him. Yet they asked Pilate to put him to death.
29 »When they had fulfilled all that was written about him, they took him down from the stake, and laid him in a tomb.
30 »But God raised him from the dead:
31 »Those who came with him from Galilee to Jerusalem saw him. They are his witnesses to the people.
32 »We tell you good news. It is Gods promise to the fathers.
33 »God has fulfilled this promise to their children by resurrecting Jesus. Just as it is written in the second psalm: You are my Son, today I have become your father. (Psalms 2:7)
34 »He raised him up from the dead, never to decay. It is stated in these words: I will give you the sure blessings promised David. (Isaiah 55:3)
35 »He said in another psalm: You will not allow your Holy One to see decay. (Ps 16:10)
36 »After David served his own generation by doing the will of God he died and was buried with his fathers. His body decayed.
37 »But he Jesus, whom God raised again, saw no decay.
38 »You should know, men and brothers that it is through this man Jesus the forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you.
39 »Through him all who believe are justified from all things. You could not be justified through the Law of Moses.
40 Beware that what the prophets said does not happen to you.
41 »Look among the nations, watch, and be amazed. Though you are told you will not believe the work I do today.« (Habakkuk 1:5)
42 When the Jews left the synagogue the people asked for this message to be preached to them the next Sabbath.
43 When the congregation dismissed, many followed Paul and Barnabas. They urged them to continue in the grace of God.
44 Nearly the entire city gathered the next Sabbath day to hear the word of God.
45 When the Jews saw the crowds they were filled with envy. They spoke against those things Paul spoke. They contradicted and blasphemed him.
46 Paul and Barnabas became very bold, and said: »It was necessary that the Word of God should first be spoken to you. But seeing you reject it you judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting life! Therefore we turn to the people of the nations.
47 »Jehovah commanded us with these words: I appoint you as a light to the nations. My salvation will come to the ends of the earth.« (Isaiah 49:6)
48 And when the people of the nations heard this, they were glad, and glorified the word of God. As many as were receptive to eternal life believed.
49 The word of God Greek: kurios: God was published throughout the entire region.
50 The Jews incited the devout and honorable women and the leading men of the city. They caused persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and expelled them from their coasts.
51 So they shook the dust from their feet against them, and went to Iconium.
52 The disciples were filled with joy and with the Holy Spirit.
