¹In Iconium, they entered together into the synagogue of the Jews, and so spoke that a great multitude both of Jews and of Greeks believed.

KJVAnd^G1161 it came to pass^G1096^(G5633) in^G1722 Iconium^G2430, that they^G846 went^G1525^(G5629) both^G2596 together^G846 into^G1519 the synagogue^G4864 of the Jews^G2453, and^G2532 so^G3779 spake^G2980^(G5658), that^G5620 a great^G4183 multitude^G4128 both^G5037 of the Jews^G2453 and also^G2532 of the Greeks^G1672 believed^G4100^(G5658).

² But the disbelieving Jews stirred up and embittered the souls of the Gentiles against the brothers.

KJVBut^G1161 the unbelieving^G544^(G5723) Jews^G2453 stirred up^G1892^(G5656) the Gentiles^G1484, and^G2532 made^G2559 their minds^G5590 evil affected^G2559^(G5656) against^G2596 the brethren^G80.

³ Therefore they stayed there a long time, speaking boldly in the Lord, who testified to the word of his grace, granting signs and wonders to be done by their hands.

KJVLong^G2425 time^G5550 therefore^G3303^G3767 abode they^G1304^(G5656) speaking boldly^G3955^(G5740) in^G1909 the Lord^G2962, which^G3588 gave testimony^G3140^(G5723) unto the word^G3056 of his^G846 grace^G5485, and^G2532 granted^G1325^(G5723) signs^G4592 and^G2532 wonders^G5059 to be done^G1096^(G5738) by^G1223 their^G846 hands^G5495.

⁴ But the multitude of the city was divided. Part sided with the Jews and part with the apostles.

KJVBut^G1161 the multitude^G4128 of the city^G4172 was divided^G4977^(G5681): and^G2532 part^G3303 held^G2258^(G5713) with^G4862 the Jews^G2453, and^G1161 part with^G4862 the apostles^G652.

⁵ When some of both the Gentiles and the Jews, with their rulers, made a violent attempt to mistreat and stone them,

KJVAnd^G1161 when^G5613 there was^G1096 an assault^G3730 made^G1096^(G5633) both^G5037 of the Gentiles^G1484, and also^G2532 of the Jews^G2453 with^G4862 their^G846 rulers^G758, to use them despitefully^G5195^(G5658), and^G2532 to stone^G3036^(G5658) them^G846,

⁶ they became aware of it and fled to the cities of Lycaonia, Lystra, Derbe, and the surrounding region.

KJVThey were ware^G4894^(G5631) of it, and fled^G2703^(G5627) unto^G1519 Lystra^G3082 and^G2532 Derbe^G1191, cities^G4172 of Lycaonia^G3071, and^G2532 unto the region that lieth round about^G4066:

⁷ There they preached the Good News.

KJVAnd there^G2546 they preached the gospel^G2258^(G5713)^G2097^(G5734).

⁸ At Lystra a certain man sat, impotent in his feet, a cripple from his mother’s womb, who never had walked.

KJVAnd^G2532 there sat^G2521^(G5711) a certain^G5100 man^G435 at^G1722 Lystra^G3082, impotent^G102 in his feet^G4228, being^G5225^(G5723) a cripple^G5560 from^G1537 his^G846 mother's^G3384 womb^G2836, who^G3739 never^G3763 had walked^G4043^(G5715):

⁹ He was listening to Paul speaking, who, fastening eyes on him and seeing that he had faith to be made whole,

KJVThe same^G3778 heard^G191^(G5707) Paul^G3972 speak^G2980^(G5723): who^G3739 stedfastly beholding^G816^(G5660) him^G846, and^G2532 perceiving^G1492^(G5631) that^G3754 he had^G2192^(G5719) faith^G4102 to be healed^G4982^(G5683),

¹⁰ said with a loud voice, “Stand upright on your feet!” He leaped up and walked.

KJVSaid^G2036^(G5627) with a loud^G3173 voice^G5456, Stand^G450^(G5628) upright^G3717 on^G1909 thy^G4675 feet^G4228. And^G2532 he leaped^G242^(G5711) and^G2532 walked^G4043^(G5707).

¹¹ When the multitude saw what Paul had done, they lifted up their voice, saying in the language of Lycaonia, “The gods have come down to us in the likeness of men!”

KJVAnd^G1161 when the people^G3793 saw^G1492^(G5631) what^G3739 Paul^G3972 had done^G4160^(G5656), they lifted up^G1869^(G5656) their^G846 voices^G5456, saying^G3004^(G5723) in the speech of Lycaonia^G3072, The gods^G2316 are come down^G2597^(G5627) to^G4314 us^G2248 in the likeness^G3666^(G5685) of men^G444.

¹² They called Barnabas “Jupiter”, and Paul “Mercury”, because he was the chief speaker.

KJVAnd^G5037 they called^G2564^(G5707) Barnabas^G921,^G3303 Jupiter^G2203; and^G1161 Paul^G3972, Mercurius^G2060, because^G1894 he^G846 was^G2258^(G5713) the chief^G2233^(G5740) speaker^G3056.

¹³ The priest of Jupiter, whose temple was in front of their city, brought oxen and garlands to the gates, and would have made a sacrifice along with the multitudes.

KJVThen^G1161 the priest^G2409 of Jupiter^G2203, which^G3588 was^G5607^(G5752) before^G4253 their^G846 city^G4172, brought^G5342^(G5660) oxen^G5022 and^G2532 garlands^G4725 unto^G1909 the gates^G4440, and would^G2309^(G5707) have done sacrifice^G2380^(G5721) with^G4862 the people^G3793.

¹⁴ But when the apostles, Barnabas and Paul, heard of it, they tore their clothes and sprang into the multitude, crying out,

KJVWhich when^G1161 the apostles^G652, Barnabas^G921 and^G2532 Paul^G3972, heard^G191^(G5660) of, they rent^G1284^(G5660) their^G846 clothes^G2440, and ran^G1530^(G5656) in among^G1519 the people^G3793, crying out^G2896^(G5723),

¹⁵ “Men, why are you doing these things? We also are men of the same nature as you, and bring you good news, that you should turn from these vain things to the living God, who made the sky, the earth, the sea, and all that is in them;

KJVAnd^G2532 saying^G3004^(G5723), Sirs^G435, why^G5101 do ye^G4160^(G5719) these things^G5130? We^G2249 also^G2532 are^G2070^(G5748) men^G444 of like passions^G3663 with you^G5213, and preach^G2097^(G5734) unto you^G5209 that ye should turn^G1994^(G5721) from^G575 these^G5023 vanities^G3152 unto^G1909 the living^G2198^(G5723) God^G2316, which^G3739 made^G4160^(G5656) heaven^G3772, and^G2532 earth^G1093, and^G2532 the sea^G2281, and^G2532 all things^G3956 that are therein^G1722^G846:

¹⁶ who in the generations gone by allowed all the nations to walk in their own ways.

KJVWho^G3739 in^G1722 times^G1074 past^G3944^(G5768) suffered^G1439^(G5656) all^G3956 nations^G1484 to walk^G4198^(G5738) in their own^G846 ways^G3598.

¹⁷ Yet he didn’t leave himself without witness, in that he did good and gave you rains from the sky and fruitful seasons, filling our hearts with food and gladness.”

KJVNevertheless^G2544^G2532 he left^G863^(G5656) not^G3756 himself^G1438 without witness^G267, in that he did good^G15^(G5723), and gave^G1325^(G5723) us^G2254 rain^G5205 from heaven^G3771, and^G2532 fruitful^G2593 seasons^G2540, filling^G1705^(G5723) our^G2257 hearts^G2588 with food^G5160 and^G2532 gladness^G2167.

¹⁸ Even saying these things, they hardly stopped the multitudes from making a sacrifice to them.

KJVAnd^G2532 with these^G5023 sayings^G3004^(G5723) scarce^G3433 restrained they^G2664^(G5656) the people^G3793, that they had^G2380 not^G3361 done sacrifice^G2380^(G5721) unto them^G846.

¹⁹ But some Jews from Antioch and Iconium came there, and having persuaded the multitudes, they stoned Paul and dragged him out of the city, supposing that he was dead.

KJVAnd^G1161 there came thither^G1904^(G5627) certain Jews^G2453 from^G575 Antioch^G490 and^G2532 Iconium^G2430, who^G2532 persuaded^G3982^(G5660) the people^G3793, and^G2532, having stoned^G3034^(G5660) Paul^G3972, drew^G4951^(G5707) him out of^G1854 the city^G4172, supposing^G3543^(G5660) he^G846 had been dead^G2348^(G5755).

²⁰ But as the disciples stood around him, he rose up, and entered into the city. On the next day he went out with Barnabas to Derbe.

KJVHowbeit^G1161, as the disciples^G3101 stood round about^G2944^(G5660) him^G846, he rose up^G450^(G5631), and came^G1525^(G5627) into^G1519 the city^G4172: and^G2532 the next day^G1887 he departed^G1831^(G5627) with^G4862 Barnabas^G921 to^G1519 Derbe^G1191.

²¹ When they had preached the Good News to that city and had made many disciples, they returned to Lystra, Iconium, and Antioch,

KJVAnd^G5037 when they had preached the gospel^G2097^(G5671) to that^G1565 city^G4172, and^G2532 had taught^G3100^(G5660) many^G2425, they returned again^G5290^(G5656) to^G1519 Lystra^G3082, and^G2532 to Iconium^G2430, and^G2532 Antioch^G490,

²² strengthening the souls of the disciples, exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that through many afflictions we must enter into God’s Kingdom.

KJVConfirming^G1991^(G5723) the souls^G5590 of the disciples^G3101, and exhorting them^G3870^(G5723) to continue^G1696^(G5721) in the faith^G4102, and^G2532 that^G3754 we^G2248 must^G1163^(G5748) through^G1223 much^G4183 tribulation^G2347 enter^G1525^(G5629) into^G1519 the kingdom^G932 of God^G2316.

²³ When they had appointed elders for them in every assembly, and had prayed with fasting, they commended them to the Lord on whom they had believed.

KJVAnd^G1161 when they had ordained^G5500^(G5660) them^G846 elders^G4245 in every^G2596 church^G1577, and had prayed^G4336^(G5666) with^G3326 fasting^G3521, they commended^G3908^(G5639) them^G846 to the Lord^G2962, on^G1519 whom^G3739 they believed^G4100^(G5715).

²⁴ They passed through Pisidia and came to Pamphylia.

KJVAnd^G2532 after they had passed throughout^G1330^(G5631) Pisidia^G4099, they came^G2064^(G5627) to^G1519 Pamphylia^G3828.

²⁵ When they had spoken the word in Perga, they went down to Attalia.

KJVAnd^G2532 when they had preached^G2980^(G5660) the word^G3056 in^G1722 Perga^G4011, they went down^G2597^(G5627) into^G1519 Attalia^G825:

²⁶ From there they sailed to Antioch, from where they had been committed to the grace of God for the work which they had fulfilled.

KJVAnd thence^G2547 sailed^G636^(G5656) to^G1519 Antioch^G490, from whence^G3606 they had been^G2258^(G5713) recommended^G3860^(G5772) to the grace^G5485 of God^G2316 for^G1519 the work^G2041 which^G3739 they fulfilled^G4137^(G5656).

²⁷ When they had arrived and had gathered the assembly together, they reported all the things that God had done with them, and that he had opened a door of faith to the nations.

KJVAnd^G1161 when they were come^G3854^(G5637), and^G2532 had gathered^G4863 the church^G1577 together^G4863^(G5631), they rehearsed^G312^(G5656) all^G3745 that God^G2316 had done^G4160^(G5656) with^G3326 them^G846, and^G2532 how^G3754 he had opened^G455^(G5656) the door^G2374 of faith^G4102 unto the Gentiles^G1484.

²⁸ They stayed there with the disciples for a long time.

KJVAnd^G1161 there^G1563 they abode^G1304^(G5707) long^G3756^G3641 time^G5550 with^G4862 the disciples^G3101.

WEB·Acts 13

¹Now in the assembly that was at Antioch there were some prophets and teachers: Barnabas, Simeon who was called Niger, Lucius of Cyrene, Manaen the foster brother of Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.

KJVNow^G1161 there were^G2258^(G5713) in^G2596 the church^G1577 that was^G5607^(G5752) at^G1722 Antioch^G490 certain^G5100 prophets^G4396 and^G2532 teachers^G1320; as^G5037 Barnabas^G921, and^G2532 Simeon^G4826 that was called^G2564^(G5746) Niger^G3526, and^G2532 Lucius^G3066 of Cyrene^G2956, and^G5037 Manaen^G3127, which had been brought up^G4939 with Herod^G2264 the tetrarch^G5076, and^G2532 Saul^G4569.

² As they served the Lord and fasted, the Holy Spirit said, “Separate Barnabas and Saul for me, for the work to which I have called them.”

KJVAs^G1161 they^G846 ministered^G3008^(G5723) to the Lord^G2962, and^G2532 fasted^G3522^(G5723), the Holy^G40 Ghost^G4151 said^G2036^(G5627),^G1211 Separate^G873^(G5657) me^G3427^G5037 Barnabas^G921 and^G2532 Saul^G4569 for^G1519 the work^G2041 whereunto^G3739 I have called^G4341^(G5766) them^G846.

³ Then, when they had fasted and prayed and laid their hands on them, they sent them away.

KJVAnd^G5119 when they had fasted^G3522^(G5660) and^G2532 prayed^G4336^(G5666), and^G2532 laid^G2007 their hands^G5495 on^G2007^(G5631) them^G846, they sent them away^G630^(G5656).

⁴ So, being sent out by the Holy Spirit, they went down to Seleucia. From there they sailed to Cyprus.

KJVSo^G3303^G3767 they^G3778, being sent forth^G1599^(G5685) by^G5259 the Holy^G40 Ghost^G4151, departed^G2718^(G5627) unto^G1519 Seleucia^G4581; and from^G1564 thence^G5037 they sailed^G636^(G5656) to^G1519 Cyprus^G2954.

⁵ When they were at Salamis, they proclaimed God’s word in the Jewish synagogues. They also had John as their attendant.

KJVAnd^G2532 when they were^G1096^(G5637) at^G1722 Salamis^G4529, they preached^G2605^(G5707) the word^G3056 of God^G2316 in^G1722 the synagogues^G4864 of the Jews^G2453: and^G1161 they had^G2192^(G5707) also^G2532 John^G2491 to their minister^G5257.

⁶ When they had gone through the island to Paphos, they found a certain sorcerer, a false prophet, a Jew whose name was Bar Jesus,

KJVAnd^G1161 when they had gone through^G1330^(G5631) the isle^G3520 unto^G891 Paphos^G3974, they found^G2147^(G5627) a certain^G5100 sorcerer^G3097, a false prophet^G5578, a Jew^G2453, whose^G3739 name^G3686 was Barjesus^G919:

⁷ who was with the proconsul, Sergius Paulus, a man of understanding. This man summoned Barnabas and Saul, and sought to hear the word of God.

KJVWhich^G3739 was^G2258^(G5713) with^G4862 the deputy of the country^G446, Sergius^G4588 Paulus^G3972, a prudent^G4908 man^G435; who^G3778 called^G4341^(G5666) for Barnabas^G921 and^G2532 Saul^G4569, and desired^G1934^(G5656) to hear^G191^(G5658) the word^G3056 of God^G2316.

⁸ But Elymas the sorcerer (for so is his name by interpretation) withstood them, seeking to turn the proconsul away from the faith.

KJVBut^G1161 Elymas^G1681 the sorcerer^G3097(for^G1063 so^G3779 is his^G846 name^G3686 by interpretation^G3177^(G5743)) withstood^G436^(G5710) them^G846, seeking^G2212^(G5723) to turn away^G1294^(G5658) the deputy^G446 from^G575 the faith^G4102.

⁹ But Saul, who is also called Paul, filled with the Holy Spirit, fastened his eyes on him

KJVThen^G1161 Saul^G4569,(who^G3588 also^G2532 is called Paul^G3972,) filled with^G4130^(G5685) the Holy^G40 Ghost^G4151,^G2532 set his eyes^G816^(G5660) on^G1519 him^G846,

¹⁰ and said, “You son of the devil, full of all deceit and all cunning, you enemy of all righteousness, will you not cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord?

KJVAnd said^G2036^(G5627), O^G5599 full^G4134 of all^G3956 subtilty^G1388 and^G2532 all^G3956 mischief^G4468, thou child^G5207 of the devil^G1228, thou enemy^G2190 of all^G3956 righteousness^G1343, wilt thou^G3973 not^G3756 cease^G3973^(G5695) to pervert^G1294^(G5723) the right^G2117 ways^G3598 of the Lord^G2962?

¹¹ Now, behold, the hand of the Lord is on you, and you will be blind, not seeing the sun for a season!” Immediately a mist and darkness fell on him. He went around seeking someone to lead him by the hand.

KJVAnd^G2532 now^G3568, behold^G2400^(G5628), the hand^G5495 of the Lord^G2962 is upon^G1909 thee^G4571, and^G2532 thou shalt be^G2071^(G5704) blind^G5185, not^G3361 seeing^G991^(G5723) the sun^G2246 for^G891 a season^G2540. And^G1161 immediately^G3916 there fell^G1968^(G5627) on^G1909 him^G846 a mist^G887 and^G2532 a darkness^G4655; and^G2532 he went about^G4013^(G5723) seeking^G2212^(G5707) some to lead him by the hand^G5497.

¹² Then the proconsul, when he saw what was done, believed, being astonished at the teaching of the Lord.

KJVThen^G5119 the deputy^G446, when he saw^G1492^(G5631) what was done^G1096^(G5756), believed^G4100^(G5656), being astonished^G1605^(G5746) at^G1909 the doctrine^G1322 of the Lord^G2962.

¹³ Now Paul and his company set sail from Paphos and came to Perga in Pamphylia. John departed from them and returned to Jerusalem.

KJVNow^G1161 when Paul^G3972 and his company^G4012 loosed^G321^(G5685) from^G575 Paphos^G3974, they came^G2064^(G5627) to^G1519 Perga^G4011 in Pamphylia^G3828: and^G1161 John^G2491 departing^G672^(G5660) from^G575 them^G846 returned^G5290^(G5656) to^G1519 Jerusalem^G2414.

¹⁴ But they, passing on from Perga, came to Antioch of Pisidia. They went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day and sat down.

KJVBut^G1161 when they^G846 departed^G1330^(G5631) from^G575 Perga^G4011, they came^G3854^(G5633) to^G1519 Antioch^G490 in Pisidia^G4099, and^G2532 went^G1525^(G5631) into^G1519 the synagogue^G4864 on the sabbath^G4521 day^G2250, and sat down^G2523^(G5656).

¹⁵ After the reading of the law and the prophets, the rulers of the synagogue sent to them, saying, “Brothers, if you have any word of exhortation for the people, speak.”

KJVAnd^G1161 after^G3326 the reading^G320 of the law^G3551 and^G2532 the prophets^G4396 the rulers of the synagogue^G752 sent^G649^(G5656) unto^G4314 them^G846, saying^G3004^(G5723), Ye men^G435 and brethren^G80, if^G1487 ye have^G2076^(G5748)^G1722^G5213 any word^G3056 of exhortation^G3874 for^G4314 the people^G2992, say on^G3004^(G5720).

¹⁶ Paul stood up, and gesturing with his hand said, “Men of Israel, and you who fear God, listen.

KJVThen^G1161 Paul^G3972 stood up^G450^(G5631), and^G2532 beckoning^G2678^(G5660) with his hand^G5495 said^G2036^(G5627), Men^G435 of Israel^G2475, and^G2532 ye that fear^G5399^(G5740) God^G2316, give audience^G191^(G5657).

¹⁷ The God of this people chose our fathers, and exalted the people when they stayed as aliens in the land of Egypt, and with an uplifted arm, he led them out of it.

KJVThe God^G2316 of this^G5127 people^G2992 of Israel^G2474 chose^G1586^(G5668) our^G2257 fathers^G3962, and^G2532 exalted^G5312^(G5656) the people^G2992 when^G1722 they dwelt as strangers^G3940 in^G1722 the land^G1093 of Egypt^G125, and^G2532 with^G3326 an high^G5308 arm^G1023 brought he^G1806^(G5627) them^G846 out of^G1537 it^G846.

¹⁸ For a period of about forty years he put up with them in the wilderness.

KJVAnd^G2532 about^G5613 the time^G5550 of forty years^G5063 suffered he^G5159 their^G846 manners^G5159^(G5656) in^G1722 the wilderness^G2048.

¹⁹ When he had destroyed seven nations in the land of Canaan, he gave them their land for an inheritance for about four hundred fifty years.

KJVAnd^G2532 when he had destroyed^G2507^(G5631) seven^G2033 nations^G1484 in^G1722 the land^G1093 of Chanaan^G5477, he divided^G2624 their^G846 land^G1093 to them^G846 by lot^G2624^(G5656).

²⁰ After these things, he gave them judges until Samuel the prophet.

KJVAnd^G2532 after^G3326 that^G5023 he gave^G1325^(G5656) unto them judges^G2923 about^G5613 the space of four hundred^G5071 and^G2532 fifty^G4004 years^G2094, until^G2193 Samuel^G4545 the prophet^G4396.

²¹ Afterward they asked for a king, and God gave to them Saul the son of Kish, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, for forty years.

KJVAnd afterward^G2547 they desired^G154^(G5668) a king^G935: and^G2532 God^G2316 gave^G1325^(G5656) unto them^G846 Saul^G4549 the son^G5207 of Cis^G2797, a man^G435 of^G1537 the tribe^G5443 of Benjamin^G958, by the space of forty^G5062 years^G2094.

²² When he had removed him, he raised up David to be their king, to whom he also testified, ‘I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after my heart, who will do all my will.’

KJVAnd^G2532 when he had removed^G3179^(G5660) him^G846, he raised up^G1453^(G5656) unto them^G846 David^G1138 to be^G1519 their king^G935; to whom^G3739 also^G2532 he gave testimony^G3140^(G5660), and said^G2036^(G5627), I have found^G2147^(G5627) David^G1138 the son of Jesse^G2421, a man^G435 after^G2596 mine own^G3450 heart^G2588, which^G3739 shall fulfil^G4160^(G5692) all^G3956 my^G3450 will^G2307.

²³ From this man’s offspring, God has brought salvation to Israel according to his promise,

KJVOf^G575 this man's^G5127 seed^G4690 hath^G1453 God^G2316 according^G2596 to his promise^G1860 raised^G1453^(G5656) unto Israel^G2474 a Saviour^G4990, Jesus^G2424:

²⁴ before his coming, when John had first preached the baptism of repentance to Israel.

KJVWhen John^G2491 had first preached^G4296^(G5660) before^G4253 his^G846 coming^G4383^G1529 the baptism^G908 of repentance^G3341 to all^G3956 the people^G2992 of Israel^G2474.

²⁵ As John was fulfilling his course, he said, ‘What do you suppose that I am? I am not he. But behold, one comes after me, the sandals of whose feet I am not worthy to untie.’

KJVAnd^G1161 as^G5613 John^G2491 fulfilled^G4137^(G5707) his course^G1408, he said^G3004^(G5707), Whom^G5101 think ye^G5282^(G5719) that I^G3165 am^G1511^(G5750)? I^G1473 am^G1510^(G5748) not^G3756 he. But^G235, behold^G2400^(G5628), there cometh one^G2064^(G5736) after^G3326 me^G1691, whose^G3739 shoes^G5266 of his feet^G4228 I am^G1510^(G5748) not^G3756 worthy^G514 to loose^G3089^(G5658).

²⁶ “Brothers, children of the stock of Abraham, and those among you who fear God, the word of this salvation is sent out to you.

KJVMen^G435 and brethren^G80, children^G5207 of the stock^G1085 of Abraham^G11, and^G2532 whosoever among^G1722 you^G5213 feareth^G5399^(G5740) God^G2316, to you^G5213 is^G649 the word^G3056 of this^G5026 salvation^G4991 sent^G649^(G5648).

²⁷ For those who dwell in Jerusalem, and their rulers, because they didn’t know him, nor the voices of the prophets which are read every Sabbath, fulfilled them by condemning him.

KJVFor^G1063 they that dwell^G2730^(G5723) at^G1722 Jerusalem^G2419, and^G2532 their^G846 rulers^G758, because they knew^G50 him^G5126 not^G50^(G5660), nor yet^G2532 the voices^G5456 of the prophets^G4396 which^G3588 are read^G314^(G5746)^G2596 every^G3956 sabbath day^G4521, they have fulfilled^G4137^(G5656) them in condemning^G2919^(G5660) him.

²⁸ Though they found no cause for death, they still asked Pilate to have him killed.

KJVAnd^G2532 though they found^G2147^(G5631) no^G3367 cause^G156 of death^G2288 in him, yet desired they^G154^(G5668) Pilate^G4091 that he^G846 should be slain^G337^(G5683).

²⁹ When they had fulfilled all things that were written about him, they took him down from the tree and laid him in a tomb.

KJVAnd^G1161 when^G5613 they had fulfilled^G5055^(G5656) all^G537 that was written^G1125^(G5772) of^G4012 him^G846, they took him down^G2507^(G5631) from^G575 the tree^G3586, and laid^G5087^(G5656) him in^G1519 a sepulchre^G3419.

³⁰ But God raised him from the dead,

KJVBut^G1161 God^G2316 raised^G1453^(G5656) him^G846 from^G1537 the dead^G3498:

³¹ and he was seen for many days by those who came up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are his witnesses to the people.

KJVAnd he^G3739 was seen^G3700^(G5681) many^G1909^G4119 days^G2250 of them which came up with^G4872^(G5631) him^G846 from^G575 Galilee^G1056 to^G1519 Jerusalem^G2419, who^G3748 are^G1526^(G5748) his^G846 witnesses^G3144 unto^G4314 the people^G2992.

³² We bring you good news of the promise made to the fathers,

KJVAnd^G2532 we^G2249 declare^G2097 unto you^G5209 glad tidings^G2097^(G5731), how that^G3754 the promise^G1860 which was made^G1096^(G5637) unto^G4314 the fathers^G3962,

³³ that God has fulfilled this to us, their children, in that he raised up Jesus. As it is also written in the second psalm, ‘You are my Son. Today I have become your father.’

KJVGod^G2316 hath fulfilled^G1603^(G5758) the same^G5026 unto us^G2254 their^G846 children^G5043, in that he hath raised up^G450 Jesus^G2424 again^G450^(G5660); as^G5613 it is^G1125 also^G2532 written^G1125^(G5769) in^G1722 the second^G1208 psalm^G5568, Thou^G4771 art^G1488^(G5748) my^G3450 Son^G5207, this day^G4594 have I^G1473 begotten^G1080^(G5758) thee^G4571.

³⁴ “Concerning that he raised him up from the dead, now no more to return to corruption, he has spoken thus: ‘I will give you the holy and sure blessings of David.’

KJVAnd^G1161 as concerning that^G3754 he raised^G450 him^G846 up^G450^(G5656) from^G1537 the dead^G3498, now no more^G3371 to^G3195^(G5723) return^G5290^(G5721) to^G1519 corruption^G1312, he said^G2046^(G5758) on this wise^G3779,^G3754 I will give^G1325^(G5692) you^G5213 the sure^G4103 mercies^G3741 of David^G1138.

³⁵ Therefore he says also in another psalm, ‘You will not allow your Holy One to see decay.’

KJVWherefore^G1352 he saith^G3004^(G5719) also^G2532 in^G1722 another^G2087 psalm, Thou shalt^G1325 not^G3756 suffer^G1325^(G5692) thine^G4675 Holy One^G3741 to see^G1492^(G5629) corruption^G1312.

³⁶ For David, after he had in his own generation served the counsel of God, fell asleep, was laid with his fathers, and saw decay.

KJVFor^G1063^G3303 David^G1138, after he had served^G5256^(G5660) his own^G2398 generation^G1074 by the will^G1012 of God^G2316, fell on sleep^G2837^(G5681), and^G2532 was laid^G4369^(G5681) unto^G4314 his^G846 fathers^G3962, and^G2532 saw^G1492^(G5627) corruption^G1312:

³⁷ But he whom God raised up saw no decay.

KJVBut^G1161 he, whom^G3739 God^G2316 raised again^G1453^(G5656), saw^G1492^(G5627) no^G3756 corruption^G1312.

³⁸ Be it known to you therefore, brothers, that through this man is proclaimed to you remission of sins;

KJVBe it^G2077^(G5749) known^G1110 unto you^G5213 therefore^G3767, men^G435 and brethren^G80, that^G3754 through^G1223 this man^G5127 is preached^G2605^(G5743) unto you^G5213 the forgiveness^G859 of sins^G266:

³⁹ and by him everyone who believes is justified from all things, from which you could not be justified by the law of Moses.

KJVAnd^G2532 by^G1722 him^G5129 all^G3956 that believe^G4100^(G5723) are justified^G1344^(G5743) from^G575 all things^G3956, from which^G3739 ye could^G1410^(G5675) not^G3756 be justified^G1344^(G5683) by^G1722 the law^G3551 of Moses^G3475.

⁴⁰ Beware therefore, lest that come on you which is spoken in the prophets:

KJVBeware^G991^(G5720) therefore^G3767, lest that^G3361 come^G1904^(G5632) upon^G1909 you^G5209, which is spoken of^G2046^(G5772) in^G1722 the prophets^G4396;

⁴¹ ‘Behold, you scoffers! Wonder and perish, for I work a work in your days, a work which you will in no way believe, if one declares it to you.’”

KJVBehold^G1492^(G5628), ye despisers^G2707, and^G2532 wonder^G2296^(G5657), and^G2532 perish^G853^(G5682): for^G3754 I^G1473 work^G2038^(G5736) a work^G2041 in^G1722 your^G5216 days^G2250, a work^G2041 which^G3739 ye shall^G4100 in no wise^G3364 believe^G4100^(G5661), though^G1437 a man^G5100 declare it^G1555^(G5741) unto you^G5213.

⁴² So when the Jews went out of the synagogue, the Gentiles begged that these words might be preached to them the next Sabbath.

KJVAnd^G1161 when the Jews^G2453 were gone^G1826^(G5654) out of^G1537 the synagogue^G4864, the Gentiles^G1484 besought^G3870^(G5707) that these^G5023 words^G4487 might be preached^G2980^(G5683) to them^G846^G1519 the next^G3342 sabbath^G4521.

⁴³ Now when the synagogue broke up, many of the Jews and of the devout proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas; who, speaking to them, urged them to continue in the grace of God.

KJVNow^G1161 when the congregation^G4864 was broken up^G3089^(G5685), many^G4183 of the Jews^G2453 and^G2532 religious^G4576^(G5740) proselytes^G4339 followed^G190^(G5656) Paul^G3972 and^G2532 Barnabas^G921: who^G3748, speaking^G4354^(G5723) to them^G846, persuaded^G3982^(G5707) them^G846 to continue^G1961^(G5721) in the grace^G5485 of God^G2316.

⁴⁴ The next Sabbath, almost the whole city was gathered together to hear the word of God.

KJVAnd^G1161 the next^G2064^(G5740) sabbath day^G4521 came^G4863 almost^G4975 the whole^G3956 city^G4172 together^G4863^(G5681) to hear^G191^(G5658) the word^G3056 of God^G2316.

⁴⁵ But when the Jews saw the multitudes, they were filled with jealousy, and contradicted the things which were spoken by Paul, and blasphemed.

KJVBut^G1161 when the Jews^G2453 saw^G1492^(G5631) the multitudes^G3793, they were filled^G4130^(G5681) with envy^G2205, and^G2532 spake against^G483^(G5707) those things which were spoken^G3004^(G5746) by^G5259 Paul^G3972, contradicting^G483^(G5723) and^G2532 blaspheming^G987^(G5723).

⁴⁶ Paul and Barnabas spoke out boldly, and said, “It was necessary that God’s word should be spoken to you first. Since indeed you thrust it from yourselves, and judge yourselves unworthy of eternal life, behold, we turn to the Gentiles.

KJVThen^G1161 Paul^G3972 and^G2532 Barnabas^G921 waxed bold^G3955^(G5666), and said^G2036^(G5627), It was^G2258^(G5713) necessary^G316 that the word^G3056 of God^G2316 should^G2980 first^G4412 have been spoken^G2980^(G5683) to you^G5213: but^G1161 seeing^G1894 ye put^G683 it^G846 from you^G683^(G5736), and^G2532 judge^G2919^(G5719) yourselves^G1438 unworthy^G3756^G514 of everlasting^G166 life^G2222, lo^G2400^(G5628), we turn^G4762^(G5743) to^G1519 the Gentiles^G1484.

⁴⁷ For so has the Lord commanded us, saying, ‘I have set you as a light for the Gentiles, that you should bring salvation to the uttermost parts of the earth.’”

KJVFor^G1063 so^G3779 hath^G1781 the Lord^G2962 commanded^G1781^(G5769) us^G2254, saying, I have set^G5087^(G5758) thee^G4571 to be^G1519 a light^G5457 of the Gentiles^G1484, that thou^G4571 shouldest be^G1511^(G5750) for^G1519 salvation^G4991 unto^G2193 the ends^G2078 of the earth^G1093.

⁴⁸ As the Gentiles heard this, they were glad and glorified the word of God. As many as were appointed to eternal life believed.

KJVAnd^G1161 when the Gentiles^G1484 heard this^G191^(G5723), they were glad^G5463^(G5707), and^G2532 glorified^G1392^(G5707) the word^G3056 of the Lord^G2962: and^G2532 as many as^G3745 were^G2258^(G5713) ordained^G5021^(G5772) to^G1519 eternal^G166 life^G2222 believed^G4100^(G5656).

⁴⁹ The Lord’s word was spread abroad throughout all the region.

KJVAnd^G1161 the word^G3056 of the Lord^G2962 was published^G1308^(G5712) throughout^G1223 all^G3650 the region^G5561.

⁵⁰ But the Jews stirred up the devout and prominent women and the chief men of the city, and stirred up a persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and threw them out of their borders.

KJVBut^G1161 the Jews^G2453 stirred up^G3951^(G5656) the devout^G4576^(G5740) and^G2532 honourable^G2158 women^G1135, and^G2532 the chief men^G4413 of the city^G4172, and^G2532 raised^G1892^(G5656) persecution^G1375 against^G1909 Paul^G3972 and^G2532 Barnabas^G921, and^G2532 expelled^G1544^(G5627) them^G846 out of^G575 their^G846 coasts^G3725.

⁵¹ But they shook off the dust of their feet against them, and came to Iconium.

KJVBut^G1161 they shook off^G1621^(G5671) the dust^G2868 of their^G846 feet^G4228 against^G1909 them^G846, and came^G2064^(G5627) unto^G1519 Iconium^G2430.

⁵² The disciples were filled with joy and with the Holy Spirit.

KJVAnd^G1161 the disciples^G3101 were filled with^G4137^(G5712) joy^G5479, and^G2532 with the Holy^G40 Ghost^G4151.
