Acts:13:14-
Seeker Overlay ON
*
But when they departed (
5631 )
from Perga ,
they came (
5633 )
to Antioch in Pisidia ,
and went (
5631 )
into the synagogue on the sabbath day ,
and sat down (
5656 ).
*
And after the reading of the law and the prophets the rulers of the synagogue sent (
5656 )
unto them ,
saying (
5723 ),
Ye men and brethren ,
if ye have (
5748 )
any word of exhortation for the people ,
say on (
5720 ).
*
Then Paul stood up (
5631 ),
and beckoning (
5660 )
with his hand said (
5627 ),
Men of Israel ,
and ye that fear (
5740 )
God ,
give audience (
5657 ).
*
The God of this people of Israel chose (
5668 )
our fathers ,
and exalted (
5656 )
the people when they dwelt as strangers in the land of Egypt ,
and with an high arm brought he (
5627 )
them out of it .
*
And about the time of forty years suffered he their manners (
5656 )
in the wilderness .
*
And when he had destroyed (
5631 )
seven nations in the land of Chanaan ,
he divided their land to them by lot (
5656 ).
*
And after that he gave (
5656 )
unto them judges about the space of four hundred and fifty years ,
until Samuel the prophet .
*
And afterward they desired (
5668 )
a king :
and God gave (
5656 )
unto them Saul the son of Cis ,
a man of the tribe of Benjamin ,
by the space of forty years .
*
And when he had removed (
5660 )
him ,
he raised up (
5656 )
unto them David to be their king ;
to whom also he gave testimony (
5660 ),
and said (
5627 ),
I have found (
5627 )
David the son of Jesse ,
a man after mine own heart ,
which shall fulfil (
5692 )
all my will .
*
Of this mans seed hath God according to his promise raised (
5656 )
unto Israel a Saviour ,
Jesus :
*
When John had first preached (
5660 )
before his coming the baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel .
*
And as John fulfilled (
5707 )
his course ,
he said (
5707 ),
Whom think ye (
5719 )
that I am (
5750 )?
I am (
5748 )
not he .
But ,
behold (
5628 ),
there cometh one (
5736 )
after me ,
whose shoes of his feet I am (
5748 )
not worthy to loose (
5658 ).
*
Men and brethren ,
children of the stock of Abraham ,
and whosoever among you feareth (
5740 )
God ,
to you is the word of this salvation sent (
5648 ).
*
For they that dwell (
5723 )
at Jerusalem ,
and their rulers ,
because they knew him not (
5660 ),
nor yet the voices of the prophets which are read (
5746 )
every sabbath day ,
they have fulfilled (
5656 )
them in condemning (
5660 )
him .
*
And though they found (
5631 )
no cause of death in him ,
yet desired they (
5668 )
Pilate that he should be slain (
5683 ).
*
And when they had fulfilled (
5656 )
all that was written (
5772 )
of him ,
they took him down (
5631 )
from the tree ,
and laid (
5656 )
him in a sepulchre .
*
But God raised (
5656 )
him from the dead :
*
And he was seen (
5681 )
many days of them which came up with (
5631 )
him from Galilee to Jerusalem ,
who are (
5748 )
his witnesses unto the people .
*
And we declare unto you glad tidings (
5731 ),
how that the promise which was made (
5637 )
unto the fathers ,
*
God hath fulfilled (
5758 )
the same unto us their children ,
in that he hath raised up Jesus again (
5660 );
as it is also written (
5769 )
in the second psalm ,
Thou art (
5748 )
my Son ,
this day have I begotten (
5758 )
thee .
*
And as concerning that he raised him up (
5656 )
from the dead ,
now no more to (
5723 )
return (
5721 )
to corruption ,
he said (
5758 )
on this wise ,
I will give (
5692 )
you the sure mercies of David .
*
Wherefore he saith (
5719 )
also in another psalm ,
Thou shalt not suffer (
5692 )
thine Holy One to see (
5629 )
corruption .
*
For David ,
after he had served (
5660 )
his own generation by the will of God ,
fell on sleep (
5681 ),
and was laid (
5681 )
unto his fathers ,
and saw (
5627 )
corruption :
*
But he ,
whom God raised again (
5656 ),
saw (
5627 )
no corruption .
*
Be it (
5749 )
known unto you therefore ,
men and brethren ,
that through this man is preached (
5743 )
unto you the forgiveness of sins :
*
And by him all that believe (
5723 )
are justified (
5743 )
from all things ,
from which ye could (
5675 )
not be justified (
5683 )
by the law of Moses .
*
Beware (
5720 )
therefore ,
lest that come (
5632 )
upon you ,
which is spoken of (
5772 )
in the prophets ;
*
Behold (
5628 ),
ye despisers ,
and wonder (
5657 ),
and perish (
5682 ):
for I work (
5736 )
a work in your days ,
a work which ye shall in no wise believe (
5661 ),
though a man declare it (
5741 )
unto you .
*
And when the Jews were gone (
5654 )
out of the synagogue ,
the Gentiles besought (
5707 )
that these words might be preached (
5683 )
to them the next sabbath .
*
Now when the congregation was broken up (
5685 ),
many of the Jews and religious (
5740 )
proselytes followed (
5656 )
Paul and Barnabas :
who ,
speaking (
5723 )
to them ,
persuaded (
5707 )
them to continue (
5721 )
in the grace of God .
*
And the next (
5740 )
sabbath day came almost the whole city together (
5681 )
to hear (
5658 )
the word of God .
*
But when the Jews saw (
5631 )
the multitudes ,
they were filled (
5681 )
with envy ,
and spake against (
5707 )
those things which were spoken (
5746 )
by Paul ,
contradicting (
5723 )
and blaspheming (
5723 ).
*
Then Paul and Barnabas waxed bold (
5666 ),
and said (
5627 ),
It was (
5713 )
necessary that the word of God should first have been spoken (
5683 )
to you :
but seeing ye put it from you (
5736 ),
and judge (
5719 )
yourselves unworthy of everlasting life ,
lo (
5628 ),
we turn (
5743 )
to the Gentiles .
*
For so hath the Lord commanded (
5769 )
us ,
saying ,
I have set (
5758 )
thee to be a light of the Gentiles ,
that thou shouldest be (
5750 )
for salvation unto the ends of the earth .
*
And when the Gentiles heard this (
5723 ),
they were glad (
5707 ),
and glorified (
5707 )
the word of the Lord :
and as many as were (
5713 )
ordained (
5772 )
to eternal life believed (
5656 ).
*
And the word of the Lord was published (
5712 )
throughout all the region .
*
But the Jews stirred up (
5656 )
the devout (
5740 )
and honourable women ,
and the chief men of the city ,
and raised (
5656 )
persecution against Paul and Barnabas ,
and expelled (
5627 )
them out of their coasts .
*
But they shook off (
5671 )
the dust of their feet against them ,
and came (
5627 )
unto Iconium .
*
And the disciples were filled with (
5712 )
joy ,
and with the Holy Ghost .
