Atos 13 - Bíblia Online

Havia na igreja de Antioquia profetas e doutores, Barnabé, Simão que tinha por sobrenome Niger, Lúcio de Cirene, Manaém, colaço de Herodes o tetrarca, e Saulo. 
Enquanto eles ministravam perante o Senhor e jejuavam, disse-lhes o Espírito Santo: Separai-me a Barnabé e a Saulo para a obra a que os tenho chamado. 
Então depois que jejuaram, oraram e lhes impuseram as mãos, os despediram. 
Eles, pois, enviados pelo Espírito Santo, desceram a Selêucia, e dali navegaram para Chipre 
e, chegados a Salamina, anunciavam a palavra de Deus nas sinagogas dos judeus; e também tinham João como ajudante. 
Havendo atravessado toda a ilha até Pafos, acharam um judeu chamado Barjesus, mago, falso profeta, 
que estava com o procônsul Sérgio Paulo, varão sensato. Este, tendo chamado a Barnabé e a Saulo, mostrou desejo de ouvir a palavra de Deus. 
Mas Elimas, o mago (porque assim se interpreta o seu nome), opunha-se-lhes, procurando desviar da fé o procônsul. 
Mas Saulo, também chamado Paulo, cheio do Espírito de Deus, fixando nele os olhos, 
disse: Ó filho do Diabo, cheio de todo o engano e de toda a malícia, inimigo de toda a justiça, não cessarás tu de perverter os caminhos retos do Senhor? 
Agora eis a mão do Senhor sobre ti, e ficarás cego, não vendo o sol por algum tempo. No mesmo instante caiu sobre ele uma névoa e trevas e, andando à roda, procurava quem o guiasse pela mão. 
Então o procônsul, vendo o que havia acontecido, creu, maravilhando-se da doutrina do Senhor. 
Tendo Paulo e seus companheiros navegado de Pafos, foram a Perge na Panfília; João, porém, apartando-se deles, voltou a Jerusalém. 
Mas eles, passando de Perge, foram a Antioquia da Pisídia e, entrando na sinagoga no dia de sábado, sentaram-se. 
Depois da leitura da lei e dos profetas, os chefes da sinagoga mandaram-lhes dizer: Irmãos, se tendes alguma palavra de exortação ao povo, dizei-a. 
Paulo, levantando-se e acenando com a mão, disse: Israelitas, e vós que temeis a Deus, ouvi: 
O Deus deste povo de Israel escolheu nossos pais, e exaltou a este povo no tempo em que habitou a terra do Egito, donde os tirou com braço excelso, 
e suportou-lhes os maus costumes no deserto por espaço de quase quarenta anos; 
e havendo destruído sete nações na terra de Canaã, deu-lhes esta terra por herança durante cerca de quatrocentos e cinqüenta anos. 
Depois disto deu-lhes juízes até o profeta Samuel. 
Em seguida eles pediram rei, e Deus por quarenta anos lhes deu a Saul, filho de Cis, da tribo de Benjamim; 
e tendo deposto a este, elevou-lhes Davi como rei, ao qual também dando testemunho, disse: Achei a Davi, filho de Jessé, homem segundo o meu coração, e ele fará todas as minhas vontades. 
Da descendência deste, conforme a promessa, trouxe Deus a Israel um Salvador que é Jesus; 
havendo João primeiro pregado, antes da vinda dele, o batismo de arrependimento a todo o povo de Israel. 
Quando João completava a sua carreira, dizia: Eu não sou o que vós supondes; mas após mim vem aquele de cujos pés não sou digno de desatar as sandálias. 
Irmãos, descendência de Abraão, e os que entre vós temem a Deus, a nós foi enviada a palavra desta salvação. 
Pois os que habitavam em Jerusalém, e os seus magistrados, não conhecendo a Jesus nem os ensinos dos profetas que se lêem cada sábado, condenando-o, cumpriram as profecias; 
e se bem que não achassem causa alguma de morte, pediram a Pilatos que o fizesse morrer. 
Quando tinham cumprido tudo o que dele estava escrito, tirando-o do madeiro, puseram-no em um túmulo. 
Mas Deus o ressuscitou dentre os mortos; 
e ele foi visto muitos dias por aqueles que com ele subiram da Galiléia a Jerusalém, os quais agora são as suas testemunhas para com o povo. 
Nós vos anunciamos as boas novas da promessa feita a nossos pais, 
como Deus a cumpriu plenamente a nossos filhos, suscitando a Jesus, como também está escrito no salmo segundo: Tu és meu filho, eu hoje te gerei. 
Que o ressuscitou dentre os mortos para nunca mais tornar à corrupção, ele o disse desta maneira: Dar-vos-ei as santas e firmes coisas prometidas a Davi. 
Por isso também diz em outro salmo: Não permitirás que o teu santo experimente corrupção. 
Na verdade, tendo Davi no seu tempo servido ao conselho de Deus, adormeceu e foi reunido a seus pais e experimentou corrupção; 
porém aquele que Deus ressuscitou dentre os mortos, não experimentou corrupção. 
Seja-vos, pois, notório, irmãos, que por este se vos anuncia remissão de pecados; 
e de tudo aquilo de que não pudestes ser justificados pela Lei de Moisés, por este é justificado todo o que crê. 
Guardai-vos, pois, de que não venha sobre vós o que foi dito nos profetas: 
Vede, ó desprezadores, maravilhai-vos e desaparecei, Porque eu faço uma obra nos vossos dias, Obra que de modo algum crereis, ainda que alguém vo-la refira. 
Ao saírem eles, rogaram-lhes que no próximo sábado se lhes repetissem estas palavras. 
Despedida a sinagoga, muitos judeus e prosélitos devotos seguiram a Paulo e Barnabé, e estes, falando-lhes, persuadiram-nos a perseverar na graça de Deus. 
No sábado seguinte reuniu-se quase a cidade toda para ouvir a palavra de Deus. 
Mas os judeus, vendo a multidão, encheram-se de inveja e, blasfemando, contradiziam o que Paulo falava. 
Paulo e Barnabé, falando ousadamente, disseram: Era a vós que se devia falar primeiramente a palavra de Deus; mas visto que a rejeitais e vos julgais indignos da vida eterna, eis que nos viramos para os gentios. 
Pois assim no-lo ordenou o Senhor: Eu te tenho posto para luz dos gentios, A fim de que sejas para salvação até os confins da terra. 
Os gentios, ouvindo isto, regozijavam-se e glorificavam a palavra do Senhor, e creram todos os que estavam destinados para a vida eterna. 
E divulgava-se a palavra do Senhor por toda aquela região. 
Mas os judeus instigaram as mulheres devotas de alta posição e os principais da cidade, e excitaram uma perseguição contra Paulo e Barnabé, e expulsaram-nos do seu território. 
Mas havendo estes sacudido contra aqueles o pó de seus pés, foram a Icônio, 
e os discípulos estavam cheios de gozo e do Espírito Santo. 

Now there were at Antioch, in the church there, prophets and teachers, Barnabas, and Symeon who was named Niger, and Lucius of Cyrene, and Manaen, a relation of Herod the king, and Saul. 
And while they were doing the Lord's work, and going without food, the Holy Spirit said, Let Barnabas and Saul be given to me for the special work for which they have been marked out by me. 
Then, after prayer and going without food they put their hands on them, and sent them away. 
So, being sent out by the Holy Spirit, they went down to Seleucia; and from there they went by ship to Cyprus. 
And at Salamis they were preaching the word of God in the Synagogues of the Jews: and John was with them, helping them. 
And when they had gone through all the island to Paphos, they came across a certain wonder-worker and false prophet, a Jew whose name was Bar-Jesus; 
Who was with the ruler, Sergius Paulus, an able man. This man sent for Barnabas and Saul, desiring to have knowledge of the word of God. 
But Elymas, the wonder-worker (for that is the sense of his name), put himself against them, with the purpose of turning the ruler from the faith. 
But Saul, whose other name is Paul, being full of the Holy Spirit, looking hard at him, said, 
O you, who are full of false tricks and evil ways, a son of the Evil One, hating all righteousness, will you for ever be turning people from the right ways of the Lord? 
And now, see, the hand of the Lord is on you, and you will be blind and not able to see the sun for a time. And straight away a dark mist came down on him; and he went about looking for a guide. 
Then the ruler, when he saw what was done, had faith, being full of wonder at the teaching of the Lord. 
Then Paul and those who were with him went by ship from Paphos and came to Perga in Pamphylia: and there John went away from them and came back to Jerusalem. 
But they, going through from Perga, came to Antioch in Pisidia; and they went into the Synagogue on the Sabbath and were seated. 
And after the reading of the law and the prophets, the rulers of the Synagogue sent to them, saying, Brothers, if you have a word of comfort for the people, say on. 
And Paul, getting up and making a sign with his hand, said, Men of Israel, and you who have the fear of God, give ear. 
The God of this people Israel made selection of our fathers, lifting the people up from their low condition when they were living in the land of Egypt, and with a strong arm took them out of it. 
And for about forty years he put up with their ways in the waste land. 
And having put to destruction seven nations in the land of Canaan, he gave them the land for their heritage for about four hundred and fifty years. 
And after these things he gave them judges, till the time of Samuel the prophet. 
Then at their request for a king, God gave them Saul, the son of Kish, a man of the family of Benjamin, who was their king for forty years. 
And having put him on one side, he made David their king, to whom he gave witness, saying, I have taken David, the son of Jesse, a man dear to my heart, who will do all my pleasure. 
From this man's seed has God given to Israel a Saviour, even Jesus, as he gave his word; 
For whose coming John made ready the way by preaching to all the people of Israel the baptism which goes with a change of heart. 
And when John was completing his work, he said, What do I seem to you to be? I am not he; but one is coming after me, whose shoes I am not good enough to undo. 
My brothers, children of the family of Abraham, and those among you who have the fear of God, to us the word of this salvation is sent. 
For the men of Jerusalem and their rulers, having no knowledge of him, or of the sayings of the prophets which come to their ears every Sabbath day, gave effect to them by judging him. 
And though no cause of death was seen in him, they made a request to Pilate that he might be put to death. 
And when they had done all the things said in the Writings about him, they took him down from the tree, and put him in the place of the dead. 
But God gave him back from the dead: 
And for a number of days he was seen by those who came with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are now his witnesses before the people. 
And we are giving you the good news of the undertaking made to the fathers, 
Which God has now put into effect for our children, by sending Jesus; as it says in the second Psalm, You are my Son; this day I have given you being. 
And about his coming back from the dead, never again to go to destruction, he has said these words, I will give you the holy and certain mercies of David. 
Because he says in another Psalm, You will not let your Holy One see destruction. 
Now David, having done God's work for his generation, went to sleep, and was put with his fathers, and his body came to destruction: 
But he, who was lifted up by God, did not see destruction. 
And so, let it be clear to you, my brothers, that through this man forgiveness of sins is offered to you: 
And through him everyone who has faith is made free from all those things, from which the law of Moses was not able to make you free. 
So take care that these words of the prophets do not come true for you; 
See, you doubters, have wonder and come to your end; for I will do a thing in your days to which you will not give belief, even if it is made clear to you. 
And when they went out, they made a request that these words might be said to them again on the Sabbath after. 
Now when the meeting was ended, a number of the Jews and of the God-fearing Gentiles who had become Jews, went after Paul and Barnabas: who put before them how important it was to keep on in the grace of God. 
And on the Sabbath after, almost all the town came together to give hearing to the word of God. 
But when the Jews saw such a great number of people, they were full of envy and said evil words against Paul's preaching. 
Then Paul and Barnabas without fear said, It was necessary for the word of God to be given to you first; but because you will have nothing to do with it, and have no desire for eternal life, it will now be offered to the Gentiles. 
For so the Lord has given us orders, saying, I have given you for a light to the Gentiles so that you may be for salvation to the ends of the earth. 
And the Gentiles, hearing this, were glad and gave glory to the word of God: and those marked out by God for eternal life had faith. 
And the word of the Lord went through all the country. 
But the Jews, working up the feelings of the God-fearing women of high position and of the chief men of the town, got an attack started against Paul and Barnabas, driving them out of those parts. 
But they, shaking off the dust of that place from their feet, came to Iconium. 
And the disciples were full of joy and of the Holy Spirit.
