1. Now there were these prophets and teachers in the church at Antioch: Barnabas, Simeon called Niger, Lucius the Cyrenian, Manaen (a close friend of Herod the tetrarch from childhood) and Saul.
|
1. Now G1161 there were G2258 in G2596 the G3588 church G1577 that was G5607 at G1722 Antioch G490 certain G5100 prophets G4396 and G2532 teachers G1320 ; as G5037 G3739 Barnabas G921 , and G2532 Simeon G4826 that was called G2564 Niger G3526 , and G2532 Lucius G3066 of Cyrene G2956 , and G5037 Manaen G3127 , which had been brought up with G4939 Herod G2264 the G3588 tetrarch G5076 , and G2532 Saul G4569 .
|
|
2. While they were serving the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, "Set apart for me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them."
|
2. As G1161 they G846 ministered G3008 to the G3588 Lord G2962 , and G2532 fasted G3522 , the G3588 Holy G40 Ghost G4151 said G2036 , Separate G873 G1211 me G5037 G3427 G5037 Barnabas G921 and G2532 Saul G4569 for G1519 the G3588 work G2041 whereunto G3739 I have called G4341 them G846 .
|
|
3. Then, after they had fasted and prayed and placed their hands on them, they sent them off.
|
3. And when G5119 they had fasted G3522 and G2532 prayed G4336 , and G2532 laid G2007 their hands G5495 on them G846 , they sent them away G630 .
|
|
4. So Barnabas and Saul, sent out by the Holy Spirit, went down to Seleucia, and from there they sailed to Cyprus.
|
4. So G3767 they G3778 , being G3303 sent forth G1599 by G5259 the G3588 Holy G40 Ghost G4151 , departed G2718 unto G1519 Seleucia G4581 ; and G5037 from thence G1564 they sailed G636 to G1519 Cyprus G2954 .
|
|
5. When they arrived in Salamis, they began to proclaim the word of God in the Jewish synagogues. (Now they also had John as their assistant.)
|
5. And G2532 when they were G1096 at G1722 Salamis G4529 , they preached G2605 the G3588 word G3056 of God G2316 in G1722 the G3588 synagogues G4864 of the G3588 Jews G2453 : and G1161 they had G2192 also G2532 John G2491 to their minister G5257 .
|
|
6. When they had crossed over the whole island as far as Paphos, they found a magician, a Jewish false prophet named Bar-Jesus,
|
6. And G1161 when they had gone through G1330 the G3588 isle G3520 unto G891 Paphos G3974 , they found G2147 a certain G5100 sorcerer G3097 , a false prophet G5578 , a Jew G2453 , whose G3739 name G3686 was Barjesus G919 :
|
|
7. who was with the proconsul Sergius Paulus, an intelligent man. The proconsul summoned Barnabas and Saul and wanted to hear the word of God.
|
7. Which G3739 was G2258 with G4862 the G3588 deputy of the country G446 , Sergius G4588 Paulus G3972 , a prudent G4908 man G435 ; who G3778 called for G4341 Barnabas G921 and G2532 Saul G4569 , and desired G1934 to hear G191 the G3588 word G3056 of God G2316 .
|
|
8. But the magician Elymas (for that is the way his name is translated) opposed them, trying to turn the proconsul away from the faith.
|
8. But G1161 Elymas G1681 the G3588 sorcerer G3097 ( for G1063 so G3779 is his name by interpretation G3177 G846 G3686 ) withstood G436 them G846 , seeking G2212 to turn away G1294 the G3588 deputy G446 from G575 the G3588 faith G4102 .
|
|
9. But Saul (also known as Paul), filled with the Holy Spirit, stared straight at him
|
9. Then G1161 Saul G4569 , ( who G3588 also G2532 is called Paul G3972 ,) filled G4130 with the Holy G40 Ghost G4151 G2532 , set his eyes G816 on G1519 him G846 ,
|
|
10. and said, "You who are full of all deceit and all wrongdoing, you son of the devil, you enemy of all righteousness� will you not stop making crooked the straight paths of the Lord?
|
10. And said G2036 , O G5599 full G4134 of all G3956 subtlety G1388 and G2532 all G3956 mischief G4468 , thou child G5207 of the devil G1228 , thou enemy G2190 of all G3956 righteousness G1343 , wilt thou not G3756 cease G3973 to pervert G1294 the G3588 right G2117 ways G3598 of the Lord G2962 ?
|
|
11. Now look, the hand of the Lord is against you, and you will be blind, unable to see the sun for a time!" Immediately mistiness and darkness came over him, and he went around seeking people to lead him by the hand.
|
11. And G2532 now G3568 , behold G2400 , the hand G5495 of the G3588 Lord G2962 is upon G1909 thee G4571 , and G2532 thou shalt be G2071 blind G5185 , not G3361 seeing G991 the G3588 sun G2246 for G891 a season G2540 . And G1161 immediately G3916 there fell G1968 on G1909 him G846 a mist G887 and G2532 a darkness G4655 ; and G2532 he went about G4013 seeking G2212 some to lead him by the hand G5497 .
|
|
12. Then when the proconsul saw what had happened, he believed, because he was greatly astounded at the teaching about the Lord.
|
12. Then G5119 the G3588 deputy G446 , when he saw G1492 what was done G1096 , believed G4100 , being astonished G1605 at G1909 the G3588 doctrine G1322 of the G3588 Lord G2962 .
|
|
13. Then Paul and his companions put out to sea from Paphos and came to Perga in Pamphylia, but John left them and returned to Jerusalem.
|
13. Now G1161 when Paul G3972 and his company G4012 loosed G321 from G575 Paphos G3974 , they came G2064 to G1519 Perga G4011 in Pamphylia G3828 : and G1161 John G2491 departing G672 from G575 them G846 returned G5290 to G1519 Jerusalem G2414 .
|
|
14. Moving on from Perga, they arrived at Pisidian Antioch, and on the Sabbath day they went into the synagogue and sat down.
|
14. But G1161 when they G846 departed G1330 from G575 Perga G4011 , they came G3854 to G1519 Antioch G490 in Pisidia G4099 , and G2532 went G1525 into G1519 the G3588 synagogue G4864 on the G3588 sabbath G4521 day G2250 , and sat down G2523 .
|
|
15. After the reading from the law and the prophets, the leaders of the synagogue sent them a message, saying, "Brothers, if you have any message of exhortation for the people, speak it."
|
15. And G1161 after G3326 the G3588 reading G320 of the G3588 law G3551 and G2532 the G3588 prophets G4396 the G3588 rulers of the synagogue G752 sent G649 unto G4314 them G846 , saying G3004 , Ye men G435 and brethren G80 , if G1487 ye have G2076 G1722 G5213 any word G3056 of exhortation G3874 for G4314 the G3588 people G2992 , say on G3004 .
|
|
16. So Paul stood up, gestured with his hand and said, "Men of Israel, and you Gentiles who fear God, listen:
|
16. Then G1161 Paul G3972 stood up G450 , and G2532 beckoning G2678 with his hand G5495 said G2036 , Men G435 of Israel G2475 , and G2532 ye that fear G5399 God G2316 , give audience G191 .
|
|
17. The God of this people Israel chose our ancestors and made the people great during their stay as foreigners in the country of Egypt, and with uplifted arm he led them out of it.
|
17. The G3588 God G2316 of this G5127 people G2992 of Israel G2474 chose G1586 our G2257 fathers G3962 , and G2532 exalted G5312 the G3588 people G2992 when G1722 they dwelt as strangers G3940 in G1722 the land G1093 of Egypt G125 , and G2532 with G3326 a high G5308 arm G1023 brought G1806 he them G846 out of G1537 it G846 .
|
|
18. For a period of about forty years he put up with them in the wilderness.
|
18. And G2532 about G5613 the time G5550 of forty years G5063 suffered he their manners G5159 G846 in G1722 the G3588 wilderness G2048 .
|
|
19. After he had destroyed seven nations in the land of Canaan, he gave his people their land as an inheritance.
|
19. And G2532 when he had destroyed G2507 seven G2033 nations G1484 in G1722 the land G1093 of Canaan G5477 , he divided their land to them by lot G2624 G846 G1093 G846 .
|
|
20. All this took about four hundred fifty years. After this he gave them judges until the time of Samuel the prophet.
|
20. And G2532 after G3326 that G5023 he gave G1325 unto them judges G2923 about the space of G5613 four hundred G5071 and G2532 fifty G4004 years G2094 , until G2193 Samuel G4545 the G3588 prophet G4396 .
|
|
21. Then they asked for a king, and God gave them Saul son of Kish, a man from the tribe of Benjamin, who ruled forty years.
|
21. And afterward G2547 they desired G154 a king G935 : and G2532 God G2316 gave G1325 unto them G846 Saul G4549 the son G5207 of Kish G2797 , a man G435 of G1537 the tribe G5443 of Benjamin G958 , by the space of forty G5062 years G2094 .
|
|
22. After removing him, God raised up David their king. He testified about him: 'I have found David the son of Jesse to be a man after my heart, who will accomplish everything I want him to do.'
|
22. And G2532 when he had removed G3179 him G846 , he raised up G1453 unto them G846 David G1138 to be their king G1519 G935 ; to whom G3739 also G2532 he gave testimony G3140 , and said G2036 , I have found G2147 David G1138 the G3588 son of Jesse G2421 , a man G435 after G2596 mine own G3450 heart G2588 , which G3739 shall fulfil G4160 all G3956 my G3450 will G2307 .
|
|
23. From the descendants of this man God brought to Israel a Savior, Jesus, just as he promised.
|
23. Of G575 this man G5127 's seed G4690 hath God G2316 according G2596 to his promise G1860 raised G1453 unto Israel G2474 a Savior G4990 , Jesus G2424 :
|
|
24. Before Jesus arrived, John had proclaimed a baptism for repentance to all the people of Israel.
|
24. When John G2491 had first preached G4296 before G4253 his G846 coming G1529 G4383 the baptism G908 of repentance G3341 to all G3956 the G3588 people G2992 of Israel G2474 .
|
|
25. But while John was completing his mission, he said repeatedly, 'What do you think I am? I am not he. But look, one is coming after me. I am not worthy to untie the sandals on his feet!'
|
25. And G1161 as G5613 John G2491 fulfilled G4137 his course G1408 , he said G3004 , Whom G5101 think G5282 ye that I G3165 am G1511 ? I G1473 am G1510 not G3756 he. But G235 , behold G2400 , there cometh G2064 one after G3326 me G1691 , whose G3739 shoes G5266 of his feet G4228 I am G1510 not G3756 worthy G514 to loose G3089 .
|
|
26. Brothers, descendants of Abraham's family, and those Gentiles among you who fear God, the message of this salvation has been sent to us.
|
26. Men G435 and brethren G80 , children G5207 of the stock G1085 of Abraham G11 , and G2532 whosoever among G1722 you G5213 feareth G5399 God G2316 , to you G5213 is the G3588 word G3056 of this G5026 salvation G4991 sent G649 .
|
|
27. For the people who live in Jerusalem and their rulers did not recognize him, and they fulfilled the sayings of the prophets that are read every Sabbath by condemning him.
|
27. For G1063 they that dwell G2730 at G1722 Jerusalem G2419 , and G2532 their G846 rulers G758 , because they knew him not G50 G5126 , nor G2532 yet the G3588 voices G5456 of the G3588 prophets G4396 which are read G314 every G2596 G3956 sabbath day G4521 , they have fulfilled G4137 them in condemning G2919 him.
|
|
28. Though they found no basis for a death sentence, they asked Pilate to have him executed.
|
28. And G2532 though they found G2147 no G3367 cause G156 of death G2288 in him, yet desired G154 they Pilate G4091 that he G846 should be slain G337 .
|
|
29. When they had accomplished everything that was written about him, they took him down from the cross and placed him in a tomb.
|
29. And G1161 when G5613 they had fulfilled G5055 all G537 that was written G1125 of G4012 him G846 , they took him down G2507 from G575 the G3588 tree G3586 , and laid G5087 him in G1519 a sepulcher G3419 .
|
|
30. But God raised him from the dead,
|
30. But G1161 God G2316 raised G1453 him G846 from G1537 the dead G3498 :
|
|
31. and for many days he appeared to those who had accompanied him from Galilee to Jerusalem. These are now his witnesses to the people.
|
31. And he G3739 was seen G3700 many G4119 days G2250 of them which came up with G4872 him G846 from G575 Galilee G1056 to G1519 Jerusalem G2419 , who G3748 are G1526 his G846 witnesses G3144 unto G4314 the G3588 people G2992 .
|
|
32. And we proclaim to you the good news about the promise to our ancestors,
|
32. And G2532 we G2249 declare unto you glad tidings G2097 G5209 , how that the G3588 promise G1860 which was made G1096 unto G4314 the G3588 fathers G3962 ,
|
|
33. that this promise God has fulfilled to us, their children, by raising Jesus, as also it is written in the second psalm, 'You are my Son; today I have fathered you.'
|
33. G3754 God G2316 hath fulfilled G1603 the same G5026 unto us G2254 their G846 children G5043 , in that he hath raised up Jesus again G450 G2424 ; as G5613 it is also G2532 written G1125 in G1722 the G3588 second G1208 psalm G5568 , Thou G4771 art G1488 my G3450 Son G5207 , this day G4594 have I G1473 begotten G1080 thee G4571 .
|
|
34. But regarding the fact that he has raised Jesus from the dead, never again to be in a state of decay, God has spoken in this way: 'I will give you the holy and trustworthy promises made to David.'
|
34. And G1161 as concerning that G3754 he raised him up G450 G846 from G1537 the dead G3498 , now no more G3371 to G3195 return G5290 to G1519 corruption G1312 , he said G2046 on this wise G3779 , I will give G1325 you G5213 the G3588 sure G4103 mercies G3741 of David G1138 .
|
|
35. Therefore he also says in another psalm, 'You will not permit your Holy One to experience decay.'
|
35. Wherefore G1352 he saith G3004 also G2532 in G1722 another G2087 psalm, Thou shalt not G3756 suffer G1325 thine G4675 Holy One G3741 to see G1492 corruption G1312 .
|
|
36. For David, after he had served God's purpose in his own generation, died, was buried with his ancestors, and experienced decay,
|
36. For G1063 David G1138 , after he G3303 had served G5256 his own G2398 generation G1074 by the G3588 will G1012 of God G2316 , fell on sleep G2837 , and G2532 was laid G4369 unto G4314 his G848 fathers G3962 , and G2532 saw G1492 corruption G1312 :
|
|
37. but the one whom God raised up did not experience decay.
|
37. But G1161 he, whom G3739 God G2316 raised again G1453 , saw G1492 no G3756 corruption G1312 .
|
|
38. Therefore let it be known to you, brothers, that through this one forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you,
|
38. Be G2077 it known G1110 unto you G5213 therefore G3767 , men G435 and brethren G80 , that G3754 through G1223 this man G5127 is preached G2605 unto you G5213 the forgiveness G859 of sins G266 :
|
|
39. and by this one everyone who believes is justified from everything from which the law of Moses could not justify you.
|
39. And G2532 by G1722 him G5129 all G3956 that believe G4100 are justified G1344 from G575 all things G3956 , from which G3739 ye could G1410 not G3756 be justified G1344 by G1722 the G3588 law G3551 of Moses G3475 .
|
|
40. Watch out, then, that what is spoken about by the prophets does not happen to you:
|
40. Beware G991 therefore G3767 , lest G3361 that come G1904 upon G1909 you G5209 , which is spoken of G2046 in G1722 the G3588 prophets G4396 ;
|
|
41. 'Look, you scoffers; be amazed and perish! For I am doing a work in your days, a work you would never believe, even if someone tells you.'"
|
41. Behold G1492 , ye despisers G2707 , and G2532 wonder G2296 , and G2532 perish G853 : for G3754 I G1473 work G2038 a work G2041 in G1722 your G5216 days G2250 , a work G2041 which G3739 ye shall in no wise G3364 believe G4100 , though G1437 a man G5100 declare G1555 it unto you G5213 .
|
|
42. As Paul and Barnabas were going out, the people were urging them to speak about these things on the next Sabbath.
|
42. And G1161 when the G3588 Jews G2453 were gone G1826 out of G1537 the G3588 synagogue G4864 , the G3588 Gentiles G1484 besought G3870 that these G5023 words G4487 might be preached G2980 to them G848 the G3588 next G3342 sabbath G4521 .
|
|
43. When the meeting of the synagogue had broken up, many of the Jews and God-fearing proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas, who were speaking with them and were persuading them to continue in the grace of God.
|
43. Now G1161 when the G3588 congregation G4864 was broken up G3089 , many G4183 of the G3588 Jews G2453 and G2532 religious G4576 proselytes G4339 followed G190 Paul G3972 and G2532 Barnabas G921 : who G3748 , speaking to G4354 them G846 , persuaded G3982 them G846 to continue G1961 in the G3588 grace G5485 of God G2316 .
|
|
44. On the next Sabbath almost the whole city assembled together to hear the word of the Lord.
|
44. And G1161 the G3588 next G2064 sabbath day G4521 came almost the whole city together G4863 G4975 G3588 G3956 G4172 to hear G191 the G3588 word G3056 of God G2316 .
|
|
45. But when the Jews saw the crowds, they were filled with jealousy, and they began to contradict what Paul was saying by reviling him.
|
45. But G1161 when the G3588 Jews G2453 saw G1492 the G3588 multitudes G3793 , they were filled G4130 with envy G2205 , and G2532 spake against G483 those things which were spoken G3004 by G5259 Paul G3972 , contradicting G483 and G2532 blaspheming G987 .
|
|
46. Both Paul and Barnabas replied courageously, "It was necessary to speak the word of God to you first. Since you reject it and do not consider yourselves worthy of eternal life, we are turning to the Gentiles.
|
46. Then G1161 Paul G3972 and G2532 Barnabas G921 waxed bold G3955 , and said G2036 , It was G2258 necessary G316 that the G3588 word G3056 of God G2316 should first G4412 have been spoken G2980 to you G5213 : but G1161 seeing G1894 ye put it from you G683 G846 , and G2532 judge G2919 yourselves G1438 unworthy G3756 G514 of everlasting G166 life G2222 , lo G2400 , we turn G4762 to G1519 the G3588 Gentiles G1484 .
|
|
47. For this is what the Lord has commanded us: 'I have appointed you to be a light for the Gentiles, to bring salvation to the ends of the earth.'"
|
47. For G1063 so G3779 hath the G3588 Lord G2962 commanded G1781 us G2254 , saying, I have set G5087 thee G4571 to be a light G1519 G5457 of the Gentiles G1484 , that thou G4571 shouldest be G1511 for G1519 salvation G4991 unto G2193 the ends G2078 of the G3588 earth G1093 .
|
|
48. When the Gentiles heard this, they began to rejoice and praise the word of the Lord, and all who had been appointed for eternal life believed.
|
48. And G1161 when the G3588 Gentiles G1484 heard G191 this , they were glad G5463 , and G2532 glorified G1392 the G3588 word G3056 of the G3588 Lord G2962 : and G2532 as many as G3745 were G2258 ordained G5021 to G1519 eternal G166 life G2222 believed G4100 .
|
|
49. So the word of the Lord was spreading through the entire region.
|
49. And G1161 the G3588 word G3056 of the G3588 Lord G2962 was published G1308 throughout G1223 all G3650 the G3588 region G5561 .
|
|
50. But the Jews incited the God-fearing women of high social standing and the prominent men of the city, stirred up persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and threw them out of their region.
|
50. But G1161 the G3588 Jews G2453 stirred up G3951 the G3588 devout G4576 and G2532 honorable G2158 women G1135 , and G2532 the G3588 chief men G4413 of the G3588 city G4172 , and G2532 raised G1892 persecution G1375 against G1909 Paul G3972 and G2532 Barnabas G921 , and G2532 expelled G1544 them G846 out of G575 their G848 coasts G3725 .
|
|
51. So after they shook the dust off their feet in protest against them, they went to Iconium.
