| 1 | Now 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. | Ac 11:22-24 Ac 14:26 Ac 14:27 |
| 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." | Ac 6:4 Dt 10:8 1Sa 2:11 1Ch 16:4 1Ch 16:37-43 Ro 15:16 Col 4:17 2Ti 1:11 2Ti 4:5 2Ti 4:11 |
| 3 | Then, when they had fasted and prayed and laid their hands on them, they sent them away. | Ac 13:2 Ac 6:6 Ac 8:15-17 Ac 9:17 Ac 14:23 Nm 27:23 1Ti 4:14 1Ti 5:22 2Ti 1:6 2Ti 2:2 |
| 4 | So, being sent forth by the Holy Spirit, they went down to Seleucia. From there they sailed to Cyprus. | Ac 20:23 |
| 5 | When they were at Salamis, they proclaimed the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews. They had also John as their attendant. | Ac 13:14 Ac 13:46 Ac 14:1 Ac 17:1-3 Ac 17:17-3 Ac 18:4 Ac 19:8 |
| 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, | Ac 8:9-11 Ac 19:18 Ac 19:19 Ex 22:18 Lv 20:6 Dt 18:10-12 1Ch 10:13 Isa 8:19 Isa 8:20 |
| 7 | who was with the proconsul, Sergius Paulus, a man of understanding. The same called Barnabas and Saul to him, and sought to hear the word of God. | Ac 13:12 Ac 18:12 Ac 19:38 |
| 8 | But Elymas the sorcerer (for so is his name by interpretation) withstood them, seeking to turn aside the proconsul from the faith. | Ac 13:6 Ac 9:36 Jn 1:41 |
| 9 | But Saul, who is also called Paul, filled with the Holy Spirit, fastened his eyes on him, | Ac 2:4 Ac 4:8 Ac 4:31 Ac 7:55 Mic 3:8 |
| 10 | and said, "Full of all deceit and all cunning, you son of the devil, you enemy of all righteousness, will you not cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord? | Ac 8:20-23 Ec 9:3 Mt 3:7 Mt 15:19 Mt 23:25-33 Lk 11:39 2Co 11:3 |
| 11 | Now, behold, the hand of the Lord is on you, and you will be blind, not seeing the sun for a season!" Immediately there fell on him a mist and darkness. He went around seeking someone to lead him by the hand. | Ex 9:3 1Sa 5:6 1Sa 5:9 1Sa 5:11 Jb 19:21 Ps 32:4 Ps 38:2 Ps 39:10 Ps 39:11 |
| 12 | Then the proconsul, when he saw what was done, believed, being astonished at the teaching of the Lord. | Ac 13:7 Ac 28:7 |
| 13 | Now Paul and his company set sail from Paphos, and came to Perga in Pamphylia. John departed from them and returned to Jerusalem. | Ac 13:6 Ac 27:13 |
| 14 | But they, passing through from Perga, came to Antioch of Pisidia. They went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day, and sat down. | Ac 14:19 Ac 14:21-24 |
| 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." | Ac 13:27 Ac 15:21 Lk 4:16-18 |
| 16 | Paul stood up, and beckoning with his hand said, "Men of Israel, and you who fear God, listen. | Ac 12:17 Ac 19:33 Ac 21:40 |
| 17 | The God of this people Israel 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 forth out of it. | Ac 7:2-53 Gn 12:1-3 Gn 17:7 Gn 17:8 Dt 4:37 Dt 7:6-8 Dt 9:5 Dt 14:2 Ne 9:7 Ne 9:8 Ps 105:6-12 Ps 105:42-12 Ps 105:43-12 Ps 135:4 Isa 41:8 Isa 41:9 Isa 44:1 Jer 33:24-26 1Pe 2:9 |
| 18 | For about the time of forty years he put up with them in the wilderness. | Ac 7:36 Ac 7:39-43 Ex 16:2 Ex 16:35 Nm 14:22 Nm 14:33 Nm 14:34 Dt 9:7 Dt 9:21-24 Ne 9:16-21 Ps 78:17-42 Ps 95:8-11 Ps 106:13-29 Ezk 20:10-17 Am 5:25 Am 5:26 1Co 10:1-10 Heb 3:7-10 Heb 3:16-19 |
| 19 | When he had destroyed seven nations in the land of Canaan, he gave them their land for an inheritance, for about four hundred and fifty years. | Ac 7:45 Dt 7:1 Jsh 24:11 Ne 9:24 Ps 78:55 |
| 20 | After these things he gave them judges until Samuel, the prophet. | Jg 2:16 Jg 3:10 Ru 1:1 1Sa 12:11 2Sa 7:11 2Ki 23:22 1Ch 17:6 |
| 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. | 1Sa 8:5-22 1Sa 12:12-19 |
| 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.` | 1Sa 12:25 1Sa 13:13 1Sa 15:11 1Sa 15:23 1Sa 15:26 1Sa 15:28 1Sa 16:1 1Sa 28:16 1Sa 31:6 2Sa 7:15 1Ch 10:13 Hos 13:10 Hos 13:11 |
| 23 | From this man`s seed, God has brought salvation to Israel according to his promise, | Ac 2:30 2Sa 7:12 Ps 89:35-37 Ps 132:11 Isa 7:13 Isa 11:1 Isa 11:10 Jer 23:5 Jer 23:6 Jer 33:15-17 Am 9:11 Mt 1:1 Mt 21:9 Mt 22:42 Lk 1:31-33 Lk 1:69-33 Jn 7:42 Ro 1:3 Rev 22:16 |
| 24 | before his coming, when John had first preached the baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel. | Ac 1:22 Ac 10:37 Ac 19:3 Ac 19:4 Mt 3:1-11 Mk 1:2-8 Lk 1:76 Lk 3:2 Lk 3:3-20 Jn 1:6-8 Jn 1:15-18 Jn 3:25-36 Jn 5:33-36 |
| 25 | As John was fulfilling his course, he said, `What do you suppose that I am? I am not he. But behold, there comes one after me the sandals of whose feet I am not worthy to untie.` | Ac 13:36 Ac 20:24 Mk 6:16-28 Jn 4:34 Jn 19:28-30 2Ti 4:7 Rev 11:7 |
| 26 | Brothers, children of the stock of Abraham, and those among you who fear God, the word of this salvation is sent forth to you. | Ac 13:15 Ac 13:17 Ac 13:46 Ac 3:26 2Ch 20:7 Ps 105:6 Ps 147:19 Ps 147:20 Isa 41:8 Isa 48:1 Isa 51:1 Isa 51:2 Mt 3:9 Mt 10:6 Lk 24:47 |
| 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. | Ac 3:17 Lk 22:34 Jn 8:28 Jn 15:21 Jn 16:3 Ro 11:8-10 Ro 11:25-10 1Co 2:8 2Co 3:14 2Co 4:4 1Ti 1:13 |
| 28 | Though they found no cause of death, they still asked Pilate to have him killed. | Ac 3:13 Ac 3:14 Mt 27:19 Mt 27:22-25 Mk 15:13-15 Lk 23:4 Lk 23:5 Lk 23:14-16 Lk 23:21-25 Jn 18:38 Jn 19:4 Jn 19:12-16 |
| 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. | Ac 13:27 Ac 2:23 Ac 4:28 Lk 18:31-33 Lk 24:44 Jn 19:28 Jn 19:30 Jn 19:36 Jn 19:37 |
| 30 | But God raised him from the dead, | Ac 2:24 Ac 2:32 Ac 3:13 Ac 3:15 Ac 3:26 Ac 4:10 Ac 5:30 Ac 5:31 Ac 10:40 Ac 17:31 Mt 28:6 Jn 2:19 Jn 10:17 Heb 13:20 |
| 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. | Ac 1:3 Ac 1:11 Ac 10:41 Mt 28:16 Mk 16:12-14 Lk 24:36-42 Jn 20:19-29 Jn 21:1-14 1Co 15:5-7 |
| 32 | We bring you good news of the promise made to the fathers, | Ac 13:38 Isa 40:9 Isa 41:27 Isa 52:7 Isa 61:1 Lk 1:19 Lk 2:10 Ro 10:15 |
| 33 | that God has fulfilled the same 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.` | Ps 2:7 Heb 1:5 Heb 1:6 Heb 5:5 |
| 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.` | Ro 6:9 |
| 35 | Therefore he says also in another psalm, `You will not allow your Holy One to see decay.` | Ac 2:27-31 Ps 16:10 |
| 36 | For David, after he had in his own generation served the counsel of God, fell asleep, and was laid with his fathers, and saw decay. | Ac 13:22 1Ch 11:2 1Ch 13:2-4 1Ch 15:12-16 1Ch 15:25-29 1Ch 18:14 1Ch 22:1-29 Ps 78:71 Ps 78:72 |
| 37 | But he whom God raised up saw no decay. | Ac 13:30 Ac 2:24 |
| 38 | Be it known to you therefore, brothers, that through this man is proclaimed to you remission of sins, | Ac 2:14 Ac 4:10 Ac 28:28 Ezk 36:32 Dn 3:18 |
| 39 | and by him everyone who believes is justified from all things, from which you could not be justified by the law of Moses. | Isa 53:11 Hab 2:4 Lk 18:14 Jn 5:24 Ro 3:24-30 Ro 4:5-8 Ro 4:24-8 Ro 5:1 Ro 5:9 Ro 8:1 Ro 8:3 Ro 8:30-34 Ro 10:10 1Co 6:11 Ga 2:16 Ga 3:8 |
| 40 | Beware therefore, lest that come on you which is spoken in the prophets: | Mal 3:2 Mal 4:1 Mt 3:9-12 Heb 2:3 Heb 3:12 Heb 12:25 |
| 41 | `Behold, you scoffers, and 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.`" | Pr 1:24-32 Pr 5:12 Isa 5:24 Isa 28:14-22 Lk 16:14 Lk 23:35 Heb 10:28-30 |
| 42 | So when the Jews went out of the synagogue, the Gentiles begged that these words might be preached to them the next Sabbath. | Ac 10:33 Ac 28:28 Ezk 3:6 Mt 11:21 Mt 19:30 |
| 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. | Ac 2:10 Ac 6:5 |
| 44 | The next Sabbath almost the whole city was gathered together to hear the word of God. | Gn 49:10 Ps 110:3 Isa 11:10 Isa 60:8 |
| 45 | But when the Jews saw the multitudes, they were filled with jealousy, and contradicted the things which were spoken by Paul, and blasphemed. | Ac 5:17 Ac 17:5 Gn 37:11 Nm 11:29 Ec 4:4 Isa 26:11 Mt 27:18 Lk 15:25-30 Ro 1:29 1Co 3:3 Ga 5:21 Jm 3:14-16 Jm 4:5 |
| 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 you, and judge yourselves unworthy of eternal life, behold, we turn to the Gentiles. | Ac 4:13 Ac 4:29-31 Pr 28:1 Ro 10:20 Eph 6:19 Eph 6:20 Php 1:14 Heb 11:34 |
| 47 | For so has the Lord commanded us, saying, `I have set you as a light of the Gentiles, That you should be for salvation to the uttermost parts of the earth.`" | Ac 1:8 Ac 9:15 Ac 22:21 Ac 26:17 Ac 26:18 Mt 28:19 Mk 16:15 Lk 24:47 |
| 48 | As the Gentiles heard this, they were glad, and glorified the word of God. As many as were appointed to eternal life believed. | Ac 13:42 Ac 2:41 Ac 8:8 Ac 15:31 Lk 2:10-11 Ro 15:9-12 |
| 49 | The Lord`s word was spread abroad throughout all the region. | Ac 6:7 Ac 9:42 Ac 12:24 Ac 19:10 Ac 19:26 Php 1:13 Php 1:14 |
| 50 | But the Jews urged on the devout women of honorable estate, and the chief men of the city, and stirred up a persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and threw them out of their borders. | Ac 13:45 Ac 6:12 Ac 14:2 Ac 14:19 Ac 17:13 Ac 21:27 1Ki 21:25 |
| 51 | But they shook off the dust of their feet against them, and came to Iconium. | Ac 18:6 Mt 10:14 Mk 6:11 Lk 9:5 |
| 52 | The disciples were filled with joy with the Holy Spirit. | Ac 2:46 Ac 5:41 Mt 5:12 Lk 6:22 Lk 6:23 Jn 16:22 Jn 16:23 Ro 5:3 Ro 14:17 Ro 15:13 2Co 8:2 1Th 1:6 Jm 1:2 1Pe 1:6-8 1Pe 4:13 |
