ABP - Acts - 13

13:1  And there were some in Antioch, according to the [2being there 1assembly], prophets and teachers, both Barnabas and Simeon, the one called Niger, and Lucius the Cyrenian, and Manaen [2of Herod 3the 4tetrarch 1a companion], and Saul.

13:2  [3officiating 1And 2of their] to the Lord, and fasting, [4said 1the 3spirit 2holy], Separate indeed to me Barnabas and Saul for the work which I have called them.

13:3  Then fasting and praying, and placing the hands upon them, they dismissed them.

13:4  These indeed then having gone forth by the [2spirit 1holy], went down unto Seleucia; and from there they sailed away unto Cyprus.

13:5  And having come unto Salamis, they announced the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews; and they also had John as an assistant.

13:6  And having gone through the island as far as Paphos, they found a certain magus, a false prophet, a Jew whose name was Barjesus,

13:7  which was with the proconsul Sergius Paulus, [2man 1a discerning]. This one calling on Barnabas and Saul, sought anxiously to hear the word of God.

13:8  [5opposed 1But 6them 2Elymas 3the 4magus], (for so is translated his name,) seeking to turn aside the proconsul from the belief.

13:9  And Saul, the one also called Paul, being filled [2spirit 1of holy], and having gazed at him,

13:10  said, O one full of all treachery, and all villainy, O son of the devil, O enemy of all righteousness, will you not cease turning aside the [2ways 3of the Lord 1straight]?

13:11  And now, behold, the hand of the Lord is upon you, and you will be blind, not seeing the sun for a time. And immediately there fell upon him a mistiness and darkness; and leading about he sought ones to guide him by hand.

13:12  Then [3beholding 1the 2proconsul] the thing having taken place, believed, being overwhelmed over the teaching of the Lord.

13:13  And having embarked from Paphos, the ones around Paul, they came unto Perga of Pamphylia. And John retreated from them and returned unto Jerusalem.

13:14  And they having gone through from Perga, they came into Antioch of Pisidia; and having entered into the synagogue on the day of the Sabbath, they sat.

13:15  And after the reading of the law and of the prophets, [3sent 1the 2chiefs of the synagogue] to them, saying, Men, brethren, if there is a word in you of comfort to the people, speak!

13:16  [3having risen up 1And 2Paul], and waving the hand, said, Men, Israelites, and ones fearing God, hearken!

13:17  The God of this people Israel chose our fathers, and [2the 3people 1exalted] in the sojourn in the land of Egypt, and with [2arm 1a high] he led them out of it.

13:18  And about forty years time he bore with them in the wilderness.

13:19  And having demolished [2nations 1seven] in the land of Canaan, he divided [3by lot 1to them 2their land].

13:20  And after these things, about [4years 1four hundred 2and 3fifty], he gave judges, until Samuel the prophet.

13:21  And from there they asked for a king. And [2gave 3to them 1God] Saul son of Kis, a man of the tribe of Benjamin -- [2years 1for forty].

13:22  And having removed him, he raised up to them David for king, to whom also [2he said 1having borne witness], I found David the one of Jesse, a man according to my heart, which shall do all my wants.

13:23  [5of this one 1God 2from 3the 4seed], according to the promise, raised up deliverance to Israel -- a deliverer, Jesus.

13:24  Which John having publicly proclaimed before the presence of his entrance, an immersion for repentance to all the people of Israel.

13:25  And as John was fulfilling the race, he said, Who do you suspect me to be? I am not he. But behold, comes after me, one of whom I am not worthy [2the 3sandal 4of his 5feet 1to untie].

13:26  Men, brethren, sons of the race of Abraham, and the ones among you fearing God -- to you the word of this deliverance was sent.

13:27  For the ones dwelling in Jerusalem, and their rulers, [2this one 1not having known], nor the voices of the prophets [2on 3every 4Sabbath 1being read], [2having judged him 1they fulfilled them].

13:28  And not one reason for death having found, they asked Pilate to do away with him.

13:29  And as they finished all the things [2concerning 3him 1being written], lowering him from the tree, they put him into a tomb.

13:30  But God raised him from the dead,

13:31  who appeared for [2days 1many] to the ones having gone up with him from Galilee unto Jerusalem, who are witnesses of him to the people.

13:32  And we announce you good news -- the [2to 3the 4fathers 1promise] taking place,

13:33  that this thing God has fulfilled [2their children 1to us], having raised up Jesus; and as in the [2Psalm 1second] it has been written, [2my son 1You are], I today have engendered you.

13:34  And that he raised him from the dead, no longer to be about to return unto corruption, thus he has spoken that, I will give to you the [2sacred things 3of David 1trustworthy].

13:35  Wherefore also in another he says, You shall not give your sacred one to see corruption.

13:36  [2David 3indeed 1For 5his own 6generation 4having assisted] by the counsel of God, went to sleep, and was added to his fathers, and saw corruption.

13:37  But the one whom God raised, did not see corruption.

13:38  [2made known 3then 1Let it be] to you men, brethren, that through this one [4to you 1a release 2of sins 3is announced],

13:39  and from all things of which you were not able in the law of Moses to be justified, in this one every one believing is justified.

13:40  Take heed then, that it should not come upon you, the thing being spoken by the prophets,

13:41  Behold, O despisers, and wonder and vanish! For a work I work during your days, which in no way should you believe if one should tell you in detail.

13:42  And exiting from out of the synagogue of the Jews, [3appealed to them 1the 2nations] in the time between the Sabbath to speak to them these things.

13:43  [4being dismissed 1And 2the 3synagogue], [7followed 1many 2of the 3Jews 4and 5worshiping 6converts] Paul and Barnabas; who speaking, persuaded them to continue in the favor of God.

13:44  And on the coming Sabbath, nearly all the city gathered to hear the word of God.

13:45  [4beholding 1But 2the 3Jews] the multitudes, they were filled with jealousy, and spoke against the things [2by 3Paul 1being spoken], disputing and blaspheming.

13:46  But speaking openly, Paul and Barnabas said, To you it was important first [4to be spoken 1for the 2word 3of God]; but since you thrust it away, and do not [3worthy 1judge 2yourselves] of eternal life, behold, we turn unto the nations.

13:47  For thus [3has given charge 4to us 1the 2Lord], saying, I have put you for a light of nations, for you to be for deliverance unto the end of the earth.

13:48  And hearing, the nations rejoiced, and glorified the word of the Lord; and [7believed 1as many as 2were 3being arranged 4for 5life 6eternal].

13:49  [6was carried 1And 2the 3word 4of the 5Lord] through the entire region.

13:50  But the Jews instigated the worshiping women, and the decent and the foremost men of the city; and they roused up a persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and cast them from their borders.

13:51  And they, having shaken off the dust of their feet against them, came unto Iconium.

13:52  And the disciples were filled with joy and [2spirit 1holy].
