13:1 Now 1161 there were 2258 5713 in 2596 the church 1577 that was 5607 5752 at 1722 Antioch 490 certain 5100 prophets 4396 and 2532 teachers 1320; as 5037 Barnabas 921, and 2532 Simeon 4826 that was called 2564 5746 Niger 3526, and 2532 Lucius 3066 of Cyrene 2956, and 5037 Manaen 3127, which had been brought up 4939 with Herod 2264 the tetrarch 5076, and 2532 Saul 4569.(which…: or, Herod's foster brother)

13:2 As 1161 they 846 ministered 3008 5723 to the Lord 2962, and 2532 fasted 3522 5723, the Holy 40 Ghost 4151 said 2036 5627, 1211 Separate 873 5657 me 3427 5037 Barnabas 921 and 2532 Saul 4569 for 1519 the work 2041 whereunto 3739 I have called 4341 5766 them 846.

13:3 And 5119 when they had fasted 3522 5660 and 2532 prayed 4336 5666, and 2532 laid 2007 0 [their] hands 5495 on 2007 5631 them 846, they sent [them] away 630 5656.

13:4 So 3303 3767 they 3778, being sent forth 1599 5685 by 5259 the Holy 40 Ghost 4151, departed 2718 5627 unto 1519 Seleucia 4581; and from 1564 thence 5037 they sailed 636 5656 to 1519 Cyprus 2954.

13:5 And 2532 when they were 1096 5637 at 1722 Salamis 4529, they preached 2605 5707 the word 3056 of God 2316 in 1722 the synagogues 4864 of the Jews 2453: and 1161 they had 2192 5707 also 2532 John 2491 to [their] minister 5257.

13:6 And 1161 when they had gone through 1330 5631 the isle 3520 unto 891 Paphos 3974, they found 2147 5627 a certain 5100 sorcerer 3097, a false prophet 5578, a Jew 2453, whose 3739 name 3686 [was] Barjesus 919:

13:7 Which 3739 was 2258 5713 with 4862 the deputy of the country 446, Sergius 4588 Paulus 3972, a prudent 4908 man 435; who 3778 called 4341 5666 for Barnabas 921 and 2532 Saul 4569, and desired 1934 5656 to hear 191 5658 the word 3056 of God 2316.

13:8 But 1161 Elymas 1681 the sorcerer 3097 (for 1063 so 3779 is his 846 name 3686 by interpretation 3177 5743) withstood 436 5710 them 846, seeking 2212 5723 to turn away 1294 5658 the deputy 446 from 575 the faith 4102.

13:9 Then 1161 Saul 4569, (who 3588 also 2532 [is called] Paul 3972,) filled with 4130 5685 the Holy 40 Ghost 4151, 2532 set his eyes 816 5660 on 1519 him 846,

13:10 And said 2036 5627, O 5599 full 4134 of all 3956 subtilty 1388 and 2532 all 3956 mischief 4468, [thou] child 5207 of the devil 1228, [thou] enemy 2190 of all 3956 righteousness 1343, wilt thou 3973 0 not 3756 cease 3973 5695 to pervert 1294 5723 the right 2117 ways 3598 of the Lord 2962?

13:11 And 2532 now 3568, behold 2400 5628, the hand 5495 of the Lord 2962 [is] upon 1909 thee 4571, and 2532 thou shalt be 2071 5704 blind 5185, not 3361 seeing 991 5723 the sun 2246 for 891 a season 2540. And 1161 immediately 3916 there fell 1968 5627 on 1909 him 846 a mist 887 and 2532 a darkness 4655; and 2532 he went about 4013 5723 seeking 2212 5707 some to lead him by the hand 5497.

13:12 Then 5119 the deputy 446, when he saw 1492 5631 what was done 1096 5756, believed 4100 5656, being astonished 1605 5746 at 1909 the doctrine 1322 of the Lord 2962.

13:13 Now 1161 when Paul 3972 and his company 4012 loosed 321 5685 from 575 Paphos 3974, they came 2064 5627 to 1519 Perga 4011 in Pamphylia 3828: and 1161 John 2491 departing 672 5660 from 575 them 846 returned 5290 5656 to 1519 Jerusalem 2414.

13:14 But 1161 when they 846 departed 1330 5631 from 575 Perga 4011, they came 3854 5633 to 1519 Antioch 490 in Pisidia 4099, and 2532 went 1525 5631 into 1519 the synagogue 4864 on the sabbath 4521 day 2250, and sat down 2523 5656.

13:15 And 1161 after 3326 the reading 320 of the law 3551 and 2532 the prophets 4396 the rulers of the synagogue 752 sent 649 5656 unto 4314 them 846, saying 3004 5723, [Ye] men 435 [and] brethren 80, if 1487 ye have 2076 5748 1722 5213 any word 3056 of exhortation 3874 for 4314 the people 2992, say on 3004 5720.

13:16 Then 1161 Paul 3972 stood up 450 5631, and 2532 beckoning 2678 5660 with [his] hand 5495 said 2036 5627, Men 435 of Israel 2475, and 2532 ye that fear 5399 5740 God 2316, give audience 191 5657.

13:17 The God 2316 of this 5127 people 2992 of Israel 2474 chose 1586 5668 our 2257 fathers 3962, and 2532 exalted 5312 5656 the people 2992 when 1722 they dwelt as strangers 3940 in 1722 the land 1093 of Egypt 125, and 2532 with 3326 an high 5308 arm 1023 brought he 1806 5627 them 846 out of 1537 it 846.

13:18 And 2532 about 5613 the time 5550 of forty years 5063 suffered he 5159 0 their 846 manners 5159 5656 in 1722 the wilderness 2048.(suffered…: or bore, or fed them as a nurse beareth, or feedeth, her child)

13:19 And 2532 when he had destroyed 2507 5631 seven 2033 nations 1484 in 1722 the land 1093 of Chanaan 5477, he divided 2624 0 their 846 land 1093 to them 846 by lot 2624 5656.

13:20 And 2532 after 3326 that 5023 he gave 1325 5656 [unto them] judges 2923 about 5613 the space of four hundred 5071 and 2532 fifty 4004 years 2094, until 2193 Samuel 4545 the prophet 4396.

13:21 And afterward 2547 they desired 154 5668 a king 935: and 2532 God 2316 gave 1325 5656 unto them 846 Saul 4549 the son 5207 of Cis 2797, a man 435 of 1537 the tribe 5443 of Benjamin 958, by the space of forty 5062 years 2094.

13:22 And 2532 when he had removed 3179 5660 him 846, he raised up 1453 5656 unto them 846 David 1138 to be 1519 their king 935; to whom 3739 also 2532 he gave testimony 3140 5660, and said 2036 5627, I have found 2147 5627 David 1138 the [son] of Jesse 2421, a man 435 after 2596 mine own 3450 heart 2588, which 3739 shall fulfil 4160 5692 all 3956 my 3450 will 2307.

13:23 Of 575 this man's 5127 seed 4690 hath 1453 0 God 2316 according 2596 to [his] promise 1860 raised 1453 5656 unto Israel 2474 a Saviour 4990, Jesus 2424:

13:24 When John 2491 had first preached 4296 5660 before 4253 his 846 coming 4383 1529 the baptism 908 of repentance 3341 to all 3956 the people 2992 of Israel 2474.

13:25 And 1161 as 5613 John 2491 fulfilled 4137 5707 his course 1408, he said 3004 5707, Whom 5101 think ye 5282 5719 that I 3165 am 1511 5750? I 1473 am 1510 5748 not 3756 [he]. But 235, behold 2400 5628, there cometh one 2064 5736 after 3326 me 1691, whose 3739 shoes 5266 of [his] feet 4228 I am 1510 5748 not 3756 worthy 514 to loose 3089 5658.

13:26 Men 435 [and] brethren 80, children 5207 of the stock 1085 of Abraham 11, and 2532 whosoever among 1722 you 5213 feareth 5399 5740 God 2316, to you 5213 is 649 0 the word 3056 of this 5026 salvation 4991 sent 649 5648.

13:27 For 1063 they that dwell 2730 5723 at 1722 Jerusalem 2419, and 2532 their 846 rulers 758, because they knew 50 0 him 5126 not 50 5660, nor yet 2532 the voices 5456 of the prophets 4396 which 3588 are read 314 5746 2596 every 3956 sabbath day 4521, they have fulfilled 4137 5656 [them] in condemning 2919 5660 [him].

13:28 And 2532 though they found 2147 5631 no 3367 cause 156 of death 2288 [in him], yet desired they 154 5668 Pilate 4091 that he 846 should be slain 337 5683.

13:29 And 1161 when 5613 they had fulfilled 5055 5656 all 537 that was written 1125 5772 of 4012 him 846, they took [him] down 2507 5631 from 575 the tree 3586, and laid 5087 5656 [him] in 1519 a sepulchre 3419.

13:30 But 1161 God 2316 raised 1453 5656 him 846 from 1537 the dead 3498:

13:31 And he 3739 was seen 3700 5681 many 1909 4119 days 2250 of them which came up with 4872 5631 him 846 from 575 Galilee 1056 to 1519 Jerusalem 2419, who 3748 are 1526 5748 his 846 witnesses 3144 unto 4314 the people 2992.

13:32 And 2532 we 2249 declare 2097 0 unto you 5209 glad tidings 2097 5731, how that 3754 the promise 1860 which was made 1096 5637 unto 4314 the fathers 3962,

13:33 God 2316 hath fulfilled 1603 5758 the same 5026 unto us 2254 their 846 children 5043, in that he hath raised up 450 0 Jesus 2424 again 450 5660; as 5613 it is 1125 0 also 2532 written 1125 5769 in 1722 the second 1208 psalm 5568, Thou 4771 art 1488 5748 my 3450 Son 5207, this day 4594 have I 1473 begotten 1080 5758 thee 4571.

13:34 And 1161 as concerning that 3754 he raised 450 0 him 846 up 450 5656 from 1537 the dead 3498, [now] no more 3371 to 3195 5723 return 5290 5721 to 1519 corruption 1312, he said 2046 5758 on this wise 3779, 3754 I will give 1325 5692 you 5213 the sure 4103 mercies 3741 of David 1138.(mercies: Gr. holy, or just things: which word the Septuagint in many places, uses for that which is in the Hebrew, mercies)

13:35 Wherefore 1352 he saith 3004 5719 also 2532 in 1722 another 2087 [psalm], Thou shalt 1325 0 not 3756 suffer 1325 5692 thine 4675 Holy One 3741 to see 1492 5629 corruption 1312.

13:36 For 1063 3303 David 1138, after he had served 5256 5660 his own 2398 generation 1074 by the will 1012 of God 2316, fell on sleep 2837 5681, and 2532 was laid 4369 5681 unto 4314 his 846 fathers 3962, and 2532 saw 1492 5627 corruption 1312:(after…: or, after he had in his own age served the will of God)

13:37 But 1161 he, whom 3739 God 2316 raised again 1453 5656, saw 1492 5627 no 3756 corruption 1312.

13:38 Be it 2077 5749 known 1110 unto you 5213 therefore 3767, men 435 [and] brethren 80, that 3754 through 1223 this man 5127 is preached 2605 5743 unto you 5213 the forgiveness 859 of sins 266:

13:39 And 2532 by 1722 him 5129 all 3956 that believe 4100 5723 are justified 1344 5743 from 575 all things 3956, from which 3739 ye could 1410 5675 not 3756 be justified 1344 5683 by 1722 the law 3551 of Moses 3475.

13:40 Beware 991 5720 therefore 3767, lest that 3361 come 1904 5632 upon 1909 you 5209, which is spoken of 2046 5772 in 1722 the prophets 4396;

13:41 Behold 1492 5628, ye despisers 2707, and 2532 wonder 2296 5657, and 2532 perish 853 5682: for 3754 I 1473 work 2038 5736 a work 2041 in 1722 your 5216 days 2250, a work 2041 which 3739 ye shall 4100 0 in no wise 3364 believe 4100 5661, though 1437 a man 5100 declare it 1555 5741 unto you 5213.

13:42 And 1161 when the Jews 2453 were gone 1826 5654 out of 1537 the synagogue 4864, the Gentiles 1484 besought 3870 5707 that these 5023 words 4487 might be preached 2980 5683 to them 846 1519 the next 3342 sabbath 4521.(the next…: Gr. in the week between, or, in the sabbath between)

13:43 Now 1161 when the congregation 4864 was broken up 3089 5685, many 4183 of the Jews 2453 and 2532 religious 4576 5740 proselytes 4339 followed 190 5656 Paul 3972 and 2532 Barnabas 921: who 3748, speaking 4354 5723 to them 846, persuaded 3982 5707 them 846 to continue 1961 5721 in the grace 5485 of God 2316.

13:44 And 1161 the next 2064 5740 sabbath day 4521 came 4863 0 almost 4975 the whole 3956 city 4172 together 4863 5681 to hear 191 5658 the word 3056 of God 2316.

13:45 But 1161 when the Jews 2453 saw 1492 5631 the multitudes 3793, they were filled 4130 5681 with envy 2205, and 2532 spake against 483 5707 those things which were spoken 3004 5746 by 5259 Paul 3972, contradicting 483 5723 and 2532 blaspheming 987 5723.

13:46 Then 1161 Paul 3972 and 2532 Barnabas 921 waxed bold 3955 5666, and said 2036 5627, It was 2258 5713 necessary 316 that the word 3056 of God 2316 should 2980 0 first 4412 have been spoken 2980 5683 to you 5213: but 1161 seeing 1894 ye put 683 0 it 846 from you 683 5736, and 2532 judge 2919 5719 yourselves 1438 unworthy 3756 514 of everlasting 166 life 2222, lo 2400 5628, we turn 4762 5743 to 1519 the Gentiles 1484.

13:47 For 1063 so 3779 hath 1781 0 the Lord 2962 commanded 1781 5769 us 2254, [saying], I have set 5087 5758 thee 4571 to be 1519 a light 5457 of the Gentiles 1484, that thou 4571 shouldest be 1511 5750 for 1519 salvation 4991 unto 2193 the ends 2078 of the earth 1093.

13:48 And 1161 when the Gentiles 1484 heard this 191 5723, they were glad 5463 5707, and 2532 glorified 1392 5707 the word 3056 of the Lord 2962: and 2532 as many as 3745 were 2258 5713 ordained 5021 5772 to 1519 eternal 166 life 2222 believed 4100 5656.

13:49 And 1161 the word 3056 of the Lord 2962 was published 1308 5712 throughout 1223 all 3650 the region 5561.

13:50 But 1161 the Jews 2453 stirred up 3951 5656 the devout 4576 5740 and 2532 honourable 2158 women 1135, and 2532 the chief men 4413 of the city 4172, and 2532 raised 1892 5656 persecution 1375 against 1909 Paul 3972 and 2532 Barnabas 921, and 2532 expelled 1544 5627 them 846 out of 575 their 846 coasts 3725.

13:51 But 1161 they shook off 1621 5671 the dust 2868 of their 846 feet 4228 against 1909 them 846, and came 2064 5627 unto 1519 Iconium 2430.

13:52 And 1161 the disciples 3101 were filled with 4137 5712 joy 5479, and 2532 with the Holy 40 Ghost 4151.
