Paul and Barnabas in Antioch
42As they were leaving, the people urged them to speak about these matters the following Sabbath. 43After the synagogue had been dismissed, many of the Jews and devout converts to Judaism followed Paul and Barnabas, who were speaking with them and urging them to continue in the grace of God.
44The following Sabbath almost the whole town assembled to hear the word of the Lord. 45But when the Jews saw the crowds, they were filled with jealousy and began to contradict what Paul was saying, insulting him.
46Paul and Barnabas boldly replied, “It was necessary that the word of God be spoken to you first. Since you reject it and judge yourselves unworthy of eternal life, we are turning to the Gentiles. 47For this is what the Lord has commanded us:
I have made you
a light for the Gentiles
to bring salvation
to the ends of the earth.” ,
48When the Gentiles heard this, they rejoiced and honored the word of the Lord, and all who had been appointed to eternal life believed. 49The word of the Lord spread through the whole region. 50But the Jews incited the prominent God-fearing women and the leading men of the city. They stirred up persecution against Paul and Barnabas and expelled them from their district. 51But Paul and Barnabas shook the dust off their feet against them and went to Iconium. 52And the disciples were filled with joy and the Holy Spirit.
