Acts 13:42-49
English Standard Version
42 As they went out, the people begged that these things might be told them the next Sabbath. 43 And after the meeting of the synagogue broke up, many Jews and (A)devout (B)converts to Judaism followed Paul and Barnabas, who, as they spoke with them, urged them (C)to continue in (D)the grace of God.
44 The next Sabbath almost the whole city gathered to hear the word of the Lord. 45 (E)But (F)when the Jews[a] saw the crowds, they were filled with (G)jealousy and began to contradict what was spoken by Paul, (H)reviling him. 46 And Paul and Barnabas spoke out boldly, saying, “It was necessary that the word of God (I)be spoken first to you. (J)Since you thrust it aside and judge yourselves (K)unworthy of eternal life, behold, we (L)are turning to the Gentiles. 47 (M)For so the Lord has commanded us, saying,
(N)“‘I have made you (O)a light for the Gentiles,
that you may (P)bring salvation to the ends of the earth.’”
48 And when the Gentiles heard this, they began rejoicing and (Q)glorifying the word of the Lord, and as many as were appointed to eternal life believed. 49 And the word of the Lord was spreading throughout the whole region.
