follow Paul and Barnabas, who, speaking to them, were persuading them to remain in the grace of God.Acts 13:44And on the coming sabbath, almost all the city was gathered together to hear the word of God,Acts 13:45and the Jews having seen the multitudes, were filled with zeal, and did contradict the things spoken by Paul—contradicting and speaking evil.Acts 13:46And speaking boldly, Paul and Barnabas said, ‘To you it was necessary that first the word of God be spoken, and seeing ye do thrust it away, and do not judge yourselves worthy of the life age-during, lo, we do turn to the nations;Acts 13:47for so hath the Lord commanded us: I have set thee for a light of nations—for thy being for salvation unto the end of the earth.’Acts 13:48And the nations hearing were glad, and were

hands.Acts 14:4And the multitude of the city was divided, and some were with the Jews, and some with the apostles,Acts 14:5and when there was a purpose both of the nations and of the Jews with their rulers to use them despitefully, and to stone them,Acts 14:6they having become aware, did flee to the cities of Lycaonia, Lystra, and Derbe, and to the region round about,Acts 14:7and there they were proclaiming good news.Acts 14:8And a certain man in Lystra, impotent in the feet, was sitting, being lame from the womb of his mother—who never had walked,Acts 14:9this one was hearing Paul speaking, who, having stedfastly beheld him, and having seen that he hath faith to be saved,Acts 14:10said with a loud voice, ‘Stand up on thy feet upright;’ and he was springing and walking,Acts 14:11and the
