Acts

They were ware of it, and fled unto Lystra and Derbe, cities of Lycaonia, and unto the region that lieth round about:

And when there was an assault made both of the Gentiles, and also of the Jews with their rulers, to use them despitefully, and to stone them,

But the multitude of the city was divided: and part held with the Jews, and part with the apostles.

Long time therefore abode they speaking boldly in the Lord, which gave testimony unto the word of his grace, and granted signs and wonders to be done by their hands.

But the unbelieving Jews stirred up the Gentiles, and made their minds evil affected against the brethren.

And it came to pass in Iconium, that they went both together into the synagogue of the Jews, and so spake, that a great multitude both of the Jews and also of the Greeks believed.

And the disciples were filled with joy, and with the Holy Ghost.

But they shook off the dust of their feet against them, and came unto Iconium.

But the Jews stirred up the devout and honourable women, and the chief men of the city, and raised persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and expelled them out of their coasts.

And the word of the Lord was published throughout all the region.

And when the Gentiles heard this, they were glad, and glorified the word of the Lord: and as many as were ordained to eternal life believed.

For so hath the Lord commanded us, saying, I have set thee to be a light of the Gentiles, that thou shouldest be for salvation unto the ends of the earth.

Then Paul and Barnabas waxed bold, and said, It was necessary that the word of God should first have been spoken to you: but seeing ye put it from you, and judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting life, lo, we turn to the Gentiles.

But when the Jews saw the multitudes, they were filled with envy, and spake against those things which were spoken by Paul, contradicting and blaspheming.

And the next sabbath day came almost the whole city together to hear the word of God.

Now when the congregation was broken up, many of the Jews and religious proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas: who, speaking to them, persuaded them to continue in the grace of God.

And when the Jews were gone out of the synagogue, the Gentiles besought that these words might be preached to them the next sabbath.

Behold, ye despisers, and wonder, and perish: for I work a work in your days, a work which ye shall in no wise believe, though a man declare it unto you.

Beware therefore, lest that come upon you, which is spoken of in the prophets;

And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses.

Be it known unto you therefore, men and brethren, that through this man is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins:

But he, whom God raised again, saw no corruption.

For David, after he had served his own generation by the will of God, fell on sleep, and was laid unto his fathers, and saw corruption:

Wherefore he saith also in another psalm, Thou shalt not suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.

And as concerning that he raised him up from the dead, now no more to return to corruption, he said on this wise, I will give you the sure mercies of David.

God hath fulfilled the same unto us their children, in that he hath raised up Jesus again; as it is also written in the second psalm, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee.

And we declare unto you glad tidings, how that the promise which was made unto the fathers,

And he was seen many days of them which came up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are his witnesses unto the people.

But God raised him from the dead:

And when they had fulfilled all that was written of him, they took him down from the tree, and laid him in a sepulchre.
