Act 13:1 Now in the Congregation in Antioch, there were prophets and teachers, including Barnabas, Simon who was called Black, and Lucius the Cyrenian, as well as Manaen the foster brother of Herod the regional ruler, and Saul.
Act 13:2 During their fasting and divine service to the Master, the Holy Spirit said, “So now, separate Barnabas and Saul to me for the work to which I have called them.”
Act 13:3 So after fasting and praying, they dedicated them and dismissed them.
Act 13:4 Having been sent by the Holy Spirit, they came down into Seleucia. Then from there they sailed away to Cyprus.
Act 13:5 Arriving at Salamis, they proclaimed the Word of God in the synagogues of the Judeans, assisted by John.
Act 13:6 Now as they traveled throughout the whole island up to Paphos, they found a certain man, an Official Advisor and false prophet, a Judean by the name of Bar-Jesus.
Act 13:7 He was with the regional governor Sergius Paul, an educated man, who called for Barnabas and Saul because he wanted to hear the Word of God.
Act 13:8 Now Elymas, the Official Advisor (that is what his name means), opposed them and intended to deflect the regional governor from the faith.
Act 13:9 But Saul (also called Paul), filled with the Holy Spirit, looked intently at him and said,
Act 13:10 “You minion of the False Accuser, full of all kinds of treachery and mischief! You will never stop twisting the straight ways of the Master!
Act 13:11 Now look! The hand of the Master is on you, and you will be blind and not see the sun until the appointed time.”
Act 13:12 Then suddenly, poor vision and darkness fell upon him, and he went around trying to find someone to lead him by the hand.
Act 13:13 Setting out from Paphos, Paul and his companions came to Perga of Pamphylia. But John left them and returned to Jerusalem.
Act 13:14 Then they passed through Perga to Antioch in Pisidia, where they entered the synagogue on the Day of Sabbaths and sat down.
Act 13:15 Now after the reading of the Law and the Prophets, the rulers of the synagogue sent for them and said, “Gentlemen, fellow believers, if you have any words of comfort for the people, speak up.”
Act 13:16 So Paul got up. Gesturing with his hand he said, “People of Israel and those who fear God, hear me!
Act 13:17 The God of Israel chose our ancestors, and lifted up the people living as foreigners in the land of Egypt. With a great show of strength he led them out of it,
Act 13:18 and for about forty years he put up with them in the wilderness.
Act 13:19 He destroyed seven nations in Canaan and apportioned their land.
Act 13:20 After about four hundred and fifty years, he gave them judges up to the time of the prophet Samuel.
Act 13:21 Then they asked for a king, and God gave them Saul, son of Kish, a man from the tribe of Benjamin, who reigned for forty years.
Act 13:22 “After Saul was deposed, God raised up David to be their king, about whom he said this: ‘I found David, son of Jesse, to be a man after my own heart, and he will do what I say.’
Act 13:23 From this one’s Descendant and according to the Promise, God brought to Israel a Savior, Jesus.
Act 13:24 Before Jesus was first presented, what John had proclaimed to all the people of Israel was the immersion that indicates a change of mind.
Act 13:25 But as John was finishing his ‘race’ he said, ‘I’m not what you think I am. But coming next is the One whose sandals I am unworthy to untie.’
Act 13:26 “People of Israel, descendants of the line of Abraham, and those of you who fear God: The word of this salvation was assigned to us.
Act 13:27 The residents of Jerusalem and their rulers were wrong about this One, and by condemning him they fulfilled what was prophesied— and those prophecies are read on every Sabbath.
Act 13:28 Though they could find no grounds for the death penalty, they asked Pilate to have him executed.
Act 13:29 “Now when they had accomplished everything that was written about him, they took him down from the cross and placed him in a tomb.
Act 13:30 But God raised him up from the dead;
Act 13:31 he was seen over the course of many days by those who went up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem. These are now his witnesses to the people.
Act 13:32 “So we bring you the Gospel which was promised to our ancestors,
Act 13:33 that God has completely fulfilled this to us, their children, by raising Jesus. As it is also written in the second Psalm, ‘You are my son; today I have fathered you.’
Act 13:34 Seeing that he has raised him from the dead and will in no way return to decay, he has thus declared, ‘I will give you the clean and trustworthy blessings of David.’.
Act 13:35 So also in another place he said, ‘You will not allow your clean one to experience decay.’
Act 13:36 But after he had served his own generation according to God’s counsel, David was laid to rest with his ancestors and did indeed experience decay.
Act 13:37 Yet the One God raised did not experience it.
Act 13:38 “Let this be clear to you, folks, that the pardon of failures is being proclaimed through this One.
Act 13:39 Though the Law of Moses could not acquit you of your failures, everyone who trusts in this One is acquitted.
Act 13:40 But be careful that what was declared by the prophets will not come upon you:
Act 13:41 “Look here, you mockers; be amazed and then vanish! I will achieve something in your days, the likes of which you would never believe even if someone told you.”
Act 13:42 As they left the synagogue the people encouraged them to speak of these things the next Sabbath.
Act 13:43 When the gathering had broken up, many of the Judeans and devout proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas, who spoke to them and convinced them to remain in the favor of God.
Act 13:44 On the next Sabbath nearly the whole city had gathered to hear the Word of the Master.
Act 13:45 But the Judeans saw the crowd and were filled with envy, so they slandered Paul and contradicted what he said.
Act 13:46 Then Paul and Barnabas boldly retorted, “We had to speak the Word of God to you first. But now that you are pushing it away and have judged yourselves to be unworthy of eternal life, watch this! We are turning to the non-Judeans!
Act 13:47 For this is the command of the Master to us: ‘I have appointed you as a light to the non-Judeans, to bring salvation to the farthest reaches of the earth.’ ”
Act 13:48 Upon hearing this, the non-Judeans were very happy and honored the Word of the Master, and whoever was aligned with eternal life believed.
Act 13:49 So the Word of the Master was spread throughout the whole country.
Act 13:50 But again, the Judeans goaded the devout and respected women and city dignitaries into persecuting Paul and Barnabas, who were deported beyond their borders.
Act 13:51 So they shook the dust from their feet to insult them, then went to Iconium.
Act 13:52 And the disciples were filled with joy and the Holy Spirit.

Act 13:1 ησαν δε εν αντιοχεια κατα την ουσαν εκκλησιαν προφηται και διδασκαλοι ὁ τε βαρναβας και συμεων ὁ καλουμενος νιγερ και λουκιος ὁ κυρηναιος μαναην τε ἡρωδου του τετρααρχου συντροφος και σαυλος
Act 13:2 λειτουργουντων δε αυτων τω κυριω και νηστευοντων ειπεν το πνευμα το ἁγιον αφορισατε δη μοι τον βαρναβαν και σαυλον εις το εργον ὁ προσκεκλημαι αυτους
Act 13:3 τοτε νηστευσαντες και προσευξαμενοι και επιθεντες τας χειρας αυτοις απελυσαν
Act 13:4 αυτοι μεν ουν εκπεμφθεντες ὑπο του ἁγιου πνευματος κατηλθον εις σελευκειαν εκειθεν τε απεπλευσαν εις κυπρον
Act 13:5 και γενομενοι εν σαλαμινι κατηγγελλον τον λογον του θεου εν ταις συναγωγαις των ιουδαιων ειχον δε και ιωαννην ὑπηρετην
Act 13:6 διελθοντες δε ὁλην την νησον αχρι παφου εὑρον ανδρα τινα μαγον ψευδοπροφητην ιουδαιον ὡ ονομα βαριησου
Act 13:7 ὁς ην συν τω ανθυπατω σεργιω παυλω ανδρι συνετω οὑτος προσκαλεσαμενος βαρναβαν και σαυλον επεζητησεν ακουσαι τον λογον του θεου
Act 13:8 ανθιστατο δε αυτοις ελυμας ὁ μαγος οὑτως γαρ μεθερμηνευεται το ονομα αυτου ζητων διαστρεψαι τον ανθυπατον απο της πιστεως
Act 13:9 σαυλος δε ὁ και παυλος πλησθεις πνευματος ἁγιου ατενισας εις αυτον
Act 13:10 ειπεν ω. πληρης παντος δολου και πασης ῥαδιουργιας υἱε διαβολου εχθρε πασης δικαιοσυνης ου παυση διαστρεφων τας ὁδους του κυριου τας ευθειας
Act 13:11 και νυν ιδου χειρ κυριου επι σε και εση τυφλος μη βλεπων τον ἡλιον αχρι καιρου παραχρημα τε επεσεν επ᾽ αυτον αχλυς και σκοτος και περιαγων εζητει χειραγωγους
Act 13:12 τοτε ιδων ὁ ανθυπατος το γεγονος επιστευσεν εκπλησσομενος επι τη διδαχη του κυριου
Act 13:13 αναχθεντες δε απο της παφου οἱ περι παυλον ηλθον εις περγην της παμφυλιας ιωαννης δε αποχωρησας απ᾽ αυτων ὑπεστρεψεν εις ἱεροσολυμα
Act 13:14 αυτοι δε διελθοντες απο της περγης παρεγενοντο εις αντιοχειαν την πισιδιαν και εισελθοντες εις την συναγωγην τη ἡμερα των σαββατων εκαθισαν
Act 13:15 μετα δε την αναγνωσιν του νομου και των προφητων απεστειλαν οἱ αρχισυναγωγοι προς αυτους λεγοντες ανδρες αδελφοι ει. τις εστιν εν ὑμιν λογος παρακλησεως προς τον λαον λεγετε
Act 13:16 αναστας δε παυλος και κατασεισας τη χειρι ειπεν ανδρες ισραηλιται και οἱ φοβουμενοι τον θεον ακουσατε
Act 13:17 ὁ θεος του λαου τουτου ισραηλ εξελεξατο τους πατερας ἡμων και τον λαον ὑψωσεν εν τη παροικια εν γη αιγυπτου και μετα βραχιονος ὑψηλου εξηγαγεν αυτους εξ αυτης
Act 13:18 και ὡς τεσσερακονταετη χρονον ετροποφορησεν αυτους εν τη ερημω
Act 13:19 και καθελων εθνη ἑπτα εν γη χανααν κατεκληρονομησεν την γην αυτων
Act 13:20 ὡς ετεσιν τετρακοσιοις και πεντηκοντα και μετα ταυτα εδωκεν κριτας ἑως σαμουηλ του προφητου
Act 13:21 κακειθεν ητησαντο βασιλεα και εδωκεν αυτοις ὁ θεος τον σαουλ υἱον κις ανδρα εκ φυλης βενιαμιν ετη τεσσερακοντα
Act 13:22 και μεταστησας αυτον ηγειρεν τον δαυιδ αυτοις εις βασιλεα ὡ και ειπεν μαρτυρησας εὑρον. δαυιδ τον του ιεσσαι ανδρα κατα την καρδιαν μου ὁς ποιησει παντα τα θεληματα μου
Act 13:23 τουτου ὁ θεος απο του σπερματος κατ᾽ επαγγελιαν ηγαγεν τω ισραηλ σωτηρα ιησουν
Act 13:24 προκηρυξαντος ιωαννου προ προσωπου της εισοδου αυτου βαπτισμα μετανοιας παντι τω λαω ισραηλ
Act 13:25 ὡς δε επληρου ιωαννης τον δρομον ελεγεν τι εμε ὑπονοειτε ειναι ουκ ειμι εγω αλλ᾽ ιδου ερχεται μετ᾽ εμε οὑ ουκ ειμι αξιος το ὑποδημα των ποδων λυσαι
Act 13:26 ανδρες αδελφοι υἱοι γενους αβρααμ και οἱ εν ὑμιν φοβουμενοι τον θεον ἡμιν ὁ λογος της σωτηριας ταυτης εξαπεσταλη
Act 13:27 οἱ γαρ κατοικουντες εν ιερουσαλημ και οἱ αρχοντες αυτων τουτον αγνοησαντες και τας φωνας των προφητων τας κατα παν σαββατον αναγινωσκομενας κριναντες επληρωσαν
Act 13:28 και μηδεμιαν αιτιαν θανατου εὑροντες ητησαντο πιλατον αναιρεθηναι αυτον
Act 13:29 ὡς δε ετελεσαν παντα τα περι αυτου γεγραμμενα καθελοντες απο του ξυλου εθηκαν εις μνημειον
Act 13:30 ὁ δε θεος ηγειρεν αυτον εκ νεκρων
Act 13:31 ὁς ωφθη επι ἡμερας πλειους τοις συναναβασιν αυτω απο της γαλιλαιας εις ιερουσαλημ οἱτινες νυν εισιν μαρτυρες αυτου προς τον λαον
Act 13:32 και ἡμεις ὑμας ευαγγελιζομεθα την προς τους πατερας επαγγελιαν γενομενην
Act 13:33 ὁτι ταυτην ὁ θεος εκπεπληρωκεν τοις τεκνοις αυτων ἡμιν αναστησας ιησουν ὡς και εν τω ψαλμω γεγραπται τω δευτερω υἱος μου ει συ εγω σημερον γεγεννηκα σε
Act 13:34 ὁτι δε ανεστησεν αυτον εκ νεκρων μηκετι μελλοντα ὑποστρεφειν εις διαφθοραν οὑτως ειρηκεν ὁτι δωσω ὑμιν τα ὁσια δαυιδ τα πιστα
Act 13:35 διοτι και εν ἑτερω λεγει ου δωσεις τον ὁσιον σου ιδειν διαφθοραν
Act 13:36 δαυιδ μεν γαρ ιδια γενεα ὑπηρετησας τη του θεου βουλη εκοιμηθη και προσετεθη προς τους πατερας αυτου και ειδεν διαφθοραν
Act 13:37 ὁν δε ὁ θεος ηγειρεν ουκ ειδεν διαφθοραν
Act 13:38 γνωστον ουν εστω ὑμιν ανδρες αδελφοι ὁτι δια τουτου ὑμιν αφεσις ἁμαρτιων καταγγελλεται και απο παντων ὡν ουκ ηδυνηθητε εν νομω μωϋσεως δικαιωθηναι
Act 13:39 εν τουτω πας ὁ πιστευων δικαιουται

Act 13:41 ιδετε οἱ καταφρονηται και θαυμασατε και αφανισθητε ὁτι εργον εργαζομαι εγω εν ταις ἡμεραις ὑμων εργον ὁ ου μη πιστευσητε εαν τις εκδιηγηται ὑμιν
Act 13:42 εξιοντων δε αυτων παρεκαλουν εις το μεταξυ σαββατον λαληθηναι αυτοις τα ῥηματα ταυτα
Act 13:43 λυθεισης δε της συναγωγης ηκολουθησαν πολλοι των ιουδαιων και των σεβομενων προσηλυτων τω παυλω και τω βαρναβα οἱτινες προσλαλουντες αυτοις επειθον αυτους προσμενειν τη χαριτι του θεου
Act 13:44 τω δε ερχομενω σαββατω σχεδον πασα ἡ πολις συνηχθη ακουσαι τον λογον του κυριου
Act 13:45 ιδοντες δε οἱ ιουδαιοι τους οχλους επλησθησαν ζηλου και αντελεγον τοις ὑπο παυλου λαλουμενοις βλασφημουντες
Act 13:46 παρρησιασαμενοι τε ὁ παυλος και ὁ βαρναβας ειπαν ὑμιν ην αναγκαιον πρωτον λαληθηναι τον λογον του θεου επειδη απωθεισθε αυτον και ουκ αξιους κρινετε ἑαυτους της αιωνιου ζωης ιδου στρεφομεθα εις τα εθνη
Act 13:47 οὑτως γαρ εντεταλται ἡμιν ὁ κυριος τεθεικα σε εις φως εθνων του ειναι σε εις σωτηριαν ἑως εσχατου της γης
Act 13:48 ακουοντα δε τα εθνη εχαιρον και εδοξαζον τον λογον του κυριου και επιστευσαν ὁσοι ησαν τεταγμενοι εις ζωην αιωνιον
Act 13:49 διεφερετο δε ὁ λογος του κυριου δι᾽ ὁλης της χωρας
Act 13:50 οἱ δε ιουδαιοι παρωτρυναν τας σεβομενας γυναικας τας ευσχημονας και τους πρωτους της πολεως και επηγειραν διωγμον επι τον παυλον και βαρναβαν και εξεβαλον αυτους απο των ὁριων αυτων
Act 13:51 οἱ δε εκτιναξαμενοι τον κονιορτον των ποδων επ᾽ αυτους ηλθον εις ικονιον
Act 13:52 οἱ τε μαθηται επληρουντο χαρας και πνευματος ἁγιου
