13保罗和同伴从帕弗乘船到旁非利亚的别加。约翰·马可在那里离开他们回耶路撒冷去了。14他们由别加继续前行，来到彼西底区的安提阿。在安息日那天，他们进了会堂坐下来。15读完律法书和先知书后，会堂主管派人告诉他们：“弟兄们，如果你们有什么劝勉众人的话，请讲。”16保罗站起来向大家挥手示意，说：“各位以色列同胞和各位敬畏上帝的外族朋友们，请听我说。17以色列的上帝拣选了我们的祖先，让他们在埃及寄居期间人丁兴旺成为大族，后来祂伸出臂膀带领他们离开埃及。18他们在旷野漂泊的那四十年间，上帝一直照顾、容忍他们。19后来上帝又灭了迦南境内的七族，把土地分给他们作产业。20前后历时约四百五十年。之后，上帝又为他们设立士师，直到撒母耳先知的时代。21“后来，他们求上帝为他们立一位王，上帝就选立便雅悯支派中基士的儿子扫罗为王，执政四十年。22之后，上帝废掉扫罗，选立大卫做王，并为他作证说，‘我找到了耶西的儿子大卫，他是合我心意的人，他必遵行我一切的旨意。’23上帝照自己的应许，从大卫的后裔中为以色列人立了一位救主，就是耶稣。24在耶稣还未公开露面以前，约翰已经劝告以色列人要悔改，接受洗礼。25约翰在工作快要完成的时候说，‘你们以为我是谁？我不是基督。在我之后来的那位，我连给祂解鞋带也不配。’26“弟兄们，各位亚伯拉罕的子孙和敬畏上帝的外族人啊，这救恩之道原是传给我们的。27可是耶路撒冷的人和他们的官长不知道耶稣是基督，虽然每个安息日都诵读先知的信息，却把基督判死罪。这正应验了先知们的话。28他们虽然找不到判祂死罪的理由，却强求彼拉多将祂处死。29祂受死的记载全部应验之后，有人把祂从十字架上取下来，安放在石墓里。30但上帝却使祂从死里复活。31之后有许多天，那些从加利利跟随祂上耶路撒冷的人都看见过祂，他们如今在百姓中都是祂的见证人。32我们要报给你们一个好消息，上帝给我们祖先的应许，33祂借着使耶稣复活已为我们做子孙的成就了。正如诗篇第二篇所说， “‘你是我的儿子， 我今日成为你父亲。’34圣经曾这样记载上帝使祂从死里复活、永不朽坏的事， “‘我必将应许大卫的圣洁、 可靠的恩福赐给你们。’35又在诗篇上说， “‘你必不让你的圣者身体朽坏。’36“大卫在世时遵行上帝的旨意，最后死了，葬在他祖先那里，肉身也朽坏了。37然而，上帝使之复活的那位却没有朽坏。38所以，弟兄们，你们应该知道，赦罪的信息是借着耶稣传给你们的。39你们靠遵行摩西律法不能被称为义人，只有信靠耶稣才能被称为义人。40你们要当心，免得先知说的话应验在你们身上，41“‘藐视真理的人啊，看吧！ 你们要在惊惧中灭亡， 因为我要在你们的时代行一件事， 即使有人告诉你们， 你们也不会信。’”42保罗和巴拿巴离开会堂时，会堂里的人请求他们下一个安息日再来讲道。43许多犹太人和诚心改信犹太教的外族人都跟随保罗和巴拿巴，二人就与他们谈论，劝勉他们要坚定不移地信靠上帝的恩典。44到了下一个安息日，几乎全城的人都聚集起来，要听上帝的道。45犹太人看见那么多人聚集，充满嫉妒，便反驳保罗所讲的，诽谤他。46保罗和巴拿巴毫不畏惧地说：“上帝的道本该先传给你们，你们既然拒绝接受，认为自己不配得永生，我们现在就把这道传给外族人。47因为主这样吩咐我们， “‘我已使你成为外族人的光， 好把救恩带到地极。’”48外族人听后，非常欢喜，颂赞主的道。凡被选定得永生的人都信了主。49主的道传遍了那个地方。50但犹太人煽动虔诚的贵妇和城中显要迫害保罗和巴拿巴，将二人赶出城去。51保罗和巴拿巴便当众跺掉脚上的尘土*，去了以哥念。52门徒满心喜乐，被圣灵充满。

Barnabas and Saul Sent Off
1Now there were in the church at Antioch prophets and teachers, Barnabas, Simeon who was called Niger,* Lucius of Cyrene, Manaen a lifelong friend of Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.2While they were worshiping the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, “Set apart for me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them.”3Then after fasting and praying they laid their hands on them and sent them off.
Barnabas and Saul on Cyprus
4So, being sent out by the Holy Spirit, they went down to Seleucia, and from there they sailed to Cyprus.5When they arrived at Salamis, they proclaimed the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews. And they had John to assist them.6When they had gone through the whole island as far as Paphos, they came upon a certain magician, a Jewish false prophet named Bar-Jesus.7He was with the proconsul, Sergius Paulus, a man of intelligence, who summoned Barnabas and Saul and sought to hear the word of God.8But Elymas the magician (for that is the meaning of his name) opposed them, seeking to turn the proconsul away from the faith.9But Saul, who was also called Paul, filled with the Holy Spirit, looked intently at him10and said, “You son of the devil, you enemy of all righteousness, full of all deceit and villainy, will you not stop making crooked the straight paths of the Lord?11And now, behold, the hand of the Lord is upon you, and you will be blind and unable to see the sun for a time.” Immediately mist and darkness fell upon him, and he went about seeking people to lead him by the hand.12Then the proconsul believed, when he saw what had occurred, for he was astonished at the teaching of the Lord.
Paul and Barnabas at Antioch in Pisidia
13Now Paul and his companions set sail from Paphos and came to Perga in Pamphylia. And John left them and returned to Jerusalem,14but they went on from Perga and came to Antioch in Pisidia. And on the Sabbath day they went into the synagogue and sat down.15After the reading from the Law and the Prophets, the rulers of the synagogue sent a message to them, saying, “Brothers, if you have any word of encouragement for the people, say it.”16So Paul stood up, and motioning with his hand said: “Men of Israel and you who fear God, listen.17The God of this people Israel chose our fathers and made the people great during their stay in the land of Egypt, and with uplifted arm he led them out of it.18And for about forty years he put up with* them in the wilderness.19And after destroying seven nations in the land of Canaan, he gave them their land as an inheritance.20All this took about 450 years. And after that he gave them judges until Samuel the prophet.21Then they asked for a king, and God gave them Saul the son of Kish, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, for forty years.22And when he had removed him, he raised up David to be their king, of whom he testified and said, ‘I have found in David the son of Jesse a man after my heart, who will do all my will.’23Of this man’s offspring God has brought to Israel a Savior, Jesus, as he promised.24Before his coming, John had proclaimed a baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel.25And as John was finishing his course, he said, ‘What do you suppose that I am? I am not he. No, but behold, after me one is coming, the sandals of whose feet I am not worthy to untie.’26“Brothers, sons of the family of Abraham, and those among you who fear God, to us has been sent the message of this salvation.27For those who live in Jerusalem and their rulers, because they did not recognize him nor understand the utterances of the prophets, which are read every Sabbath, fulfilled them by condemning him.28And though they found in him no guilt worthy of death, they asked Pilate to have him executed.29And when they had carried out all that was written of him, they took him down from the tree and laid him in a tomb.30But God raised him from the dead,31and for many days he appeared to those who had come up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are now his witnesses to the people.32And we bring you the good news that what God promised to the fathers,33this he has fulfilled to us their children by raising Jesus, as also it is written in the second Psalm, “‘You are my Son, today I have begotten you.’34And as for the fact that he raised him from the dead, no more to return to corruption, he has spoken in this way, “‘I will give you the holy and sure blessings of David.’35Therefore he says also in another psalm, “‘You will not let your Holy One see corruption.’36For David, after he had served the purpose of God in his own generation, fell asleep and was laid with his fathers and saw corruption,37but he whom God raised up did not see corruption.38Let it be known to you therefore, brothers, that through this man forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you,39and by him everyone who believes is freed* from everything from which you could not be freed by the law of Moses.40Beware, therefore, lest what is said in the Prophets should come about:41“‘Look, you scoffers, be astounded and perish; for I am doing a work in your days, a work that you will not believe, even if one tells it to you.’”42As they went out, the people begged that these things might be told them the next Sabbath.43And after the meeting of the synagogue broke up, many Jews and devout converts to Judaism followed Paul and Barnabas, who, as they spoke with them, urged them to continue in the grace of God.44The next Sabbath almost the whole city gathered to hear the word of the Lord.45But when the Jews* saw the crowds, they were filled with jealousy and began to contradict what was spoken by Paul, reviling him.46And Paul and Barnabas spoke out boldly, saying, “It was necessary that the word of God be spoken first to you. Since you thrust it aside and judge yourselves unworthy of eternal life, behold, we are turning to the Gentiles.47For so the Lord has commanded us, saying, “‘I have made you a light for the Gentiles, that you may bring salvation to the ends of the earth.’”48And when the Gentiles heard this, they began rejoicing and glorifying the word of the Lord, and as many as were appointed to eternal life believed.49And the word of the Lord was spreading throughout the whole region.50But the Jews incited the devout women of high standing and the leading men of the city, stirred up persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and drove them out of their district.51But they shook off the dust from their feet against them and went to Iconium.52And the disciples were filled with joy and with the Holy Spirit.
