1Now in the church at Antioch there were prophets and teachers: Barnabas, Simeon called Niger, Lucius of Cyrene, Manaen (who had been brought up with Herod the tetrarch), and Saul.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.Now there were in the church that was at Antioch certain prophets and teachers; as Barnabas, and Simeon that was called Niger, and Lucius of Cyrene, and Manaen, which had been brought up with Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.Now there were at Antioch, in the church that was there, prophets and teachers, Barnabas, and Symeon that was called Niger, and Lucius of Cyrene, and Manaen the foster-brother 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.”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.”As they ministered to the Lord, and fasted, the Holy Ghost said, Separate me Barnabas and Saul for the work whereunto I have called them.And as they ministered to the Lord, and fasted, the Holy Spirit said, Separate me Barnabas and Saul for the work whereunto I have called them.3And after they had fasted and prayed, they laid their hands on them and sent them off.Then, when they had fasted and prayed and laid their hands on them, they sent them away.And when they had fasted and prayed, and laid their hands on them, they sent them away.Then, when they had fasted and prayed and laid their hands on them, they sent them away.4So Barnabas and Saul, sent forth by the Holy Spirit, went down to Seleucia and sailed from there to Cyprus.So, being sent out by the Holy Spirit, they went down to Seleucia. From there they sailed to Cyprus.So they, being sent forth by the Holy Ghost, departed unto Seleucia; and from thence they sailed to Cyprus.So they, being sent forth by the Holy Spirit, went down to Seleucia; and from thence they sailed to Cyprus.5When they arrived at Salamis, they proclaimed the word of God in the Jewish synagogues. And John was with them as their helper.When they were at Salamis, they proclaimed God’s word in the Jewish synagogues. They also had John as their attendant.And when they were at Salamis, they preached the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews: and they had also John to their minister.And when they were at Salamis, they proclaimed the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews: and they had also John as their attendant.6They traveled through the whole island as far as Paphos, where they found a Jewish sorcerer and false prophet named Bar-Jesus,When they had gone through the island to Paphos, they found a certain sorcerer, a false prophet, a Jew whose name was Bar Jesus,And when they had gone through the isle unto Paphos, they found a certain sorcerer, a false prophet, a Jew, whose name was Bar–jesus:And when they had gone through the whole island unto Paphos, they found a certain sorcerer, a false prophet, a Jew, whose name was Bar-Jesus;7an attendant of the proconsul, Sergius Paulus. The proconsul, a man of intelligence, summoned Barnabas and Saul because he wanted to hear the word of God.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.Which was with the deputy of the country, Sergius Paulus, a prudent man; who called for Barnabas and Saul, and desired to hear the word of God.who was with the proconsul, Sergius Paulus, a man of understanding. The same called unto him Barnabas and Saul, and sought to hear the word of God.8But Elymas the sorcerer (for that is what his name means) opposed them and tried to turn the proconsul from the faith.But Elymas the sorcerer (for so is his name by interpretation) withstood them, seeking to turn the proconsul away from the faith.But Elymas the sorcerer (for so is his name by interpretation) withstood them, seeking to turn away the deputy from the faith.But Elymas the sorcerer (for so is his name by interpretation) withstood them, seeking to turn aside the proconsul from the faith.9Then Saul, who was also called Paul, filled with the Holy Spirit, looked directly at ElymasBut Saul, who is also called Paul, filled with the Holy Spirit, fastened his eyes on himThen Saul, (who also is called Paul,) filled with the Holy Ghost, set his eyes on him,But Saul, who is also called Paul, filled with the Holy Spirit, fastened his eyes on him,10and said, “O child of the devil and enemy of all righteousness, you are full of all kinds of deceit and trickery! Will you never stop perverting the straight ways of the Lord?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?And said, O full of all subtilty and all mischief, thou child of the devil, thou enemy of all righteousness, wilt thou not cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord?and said, O full of all guile and all villany, thou son of the devil, thou enemy of all righteousness, wilt thou not cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord?11Now look, the hand of the Lord is against you, and for a time you will be blind and unable to see the light of the sun.” Immediately mist and darkness came over him, and he groped about, seeking someone to lead him by the hand.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.And now, behold, the hand of the Lord is upon thee, and thou shalt be blind, not seeing the sun for a season. And immediately there fell on him a mist and a darkness; and he went about seeking some to lead him by the hand.And now, behold, the hand of the Lord is upon thee, and thou shalt be blind, not seeing the sun for a season. And immediately there fell on him a mist and a darkness; and he went about seeking some to lead him by the hand.12When the proconsul saw what had happened, he believed, for he was astonished at the teaching about the Lord.Then the proconsul, when he saw what was done, believed, being astonished at the teaching of the Lord.Then the deputy, when he saw what was done, believed, being astonished at the doctrine of the Lord.Then the proconsul, when he saw what was done, believed, being astonished at the teaching of the Lord.13After setting sail from Paphos, Paul and his companions came to Perga in Pamphylia, where John left them to return to Jerusalem.Now Paul and his company set sail from Paphos and came to Perga in Pamphylia. John departed from them and returned to Jerusalem.Now when Paul and his company loosed from Paphos, they came to Perga in Pamphylia: and John departing from them returned to Jerusalem.Now Paul and his company set sail from Paphos, and came to Perga in Pamphylia: and John departed from them and returned to Jerusalem.14And from Perga, they traveled inland to Pisidian Antioch, where they entered the synagogue on the Sabbath and sat down.But they, passing on from Perga, came to Antioch of Pisidia. They went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day and sat down.But when they departed from Perga, they came to Antioch in Pisidia, and went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and sat down.But they, passing through from Perga, came to Antioch of Pisidia; and they went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and sat down.15After the reading from the Law and the Prophets, the synagogue leaders sent word to them: “Brothers, if you have a word of encouragement for the people, please speak.”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.”And after the reading of the law and the prophets the rulers of the synagogue sent unto them, saying, Ye men and brethren, if ye have any word of exhortation for the people, say on.And after the reading of the law and the prophets the rulers of the synagogue sent unto them, saying, Brethren, if ye have any word of exhortation for the people, say on.16Paul stood up, motioned with his hand, and began to speak: “Men of Israel and you Gentiles who fear God, listen to me!Paul stood up, and gesturing with his hand said, “Men of Israel, and you who fear God, listen.Then Paul stood up, and beckoning with his hand said, Men of Israel, and ye that fear God, give audience.And Paul stood up, and beckoning with the hand said, Men of Israel, and ye that fear God, hearken:17The God of the people of Israel chose our fathers. He made them into a great people during their stay in Egypt, and with an uplifted arm He led them out of that land.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.The God of this people of Israel chose our fathers, and exalted the people when they dwelt as strangers in the land of Egypt, and with an high arm brought he them out of it.The God of this people Israel chose our fathers, and exalted the people when they sojourned in the land of Egypt, and with a high arm led he them forth out of it.18He endured their conduct for about forty years in the wilderness.For a period of about forty years he put up with them in the wilderness.And about the time of forty years suffered he their manners in the wilderness.And for about the time of forty years as a nursing-father bare he them in the wilderness.19And having vanquished seven nations in Canaan, He gave their land to His people as an inheritance.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.And when he had destroyed seven nations in the land of Chanaan, he divided their land to them by lot.And 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:20All this took about 450 years. After this, God gave them judges until the time of Samuel the prophet.After these things, he gave them judges until Samuel the prophet.And after that he gave unto them judges about the space of four hundred and fifty years, until Samuel the prophet.and after these things he gave them judges until Samuel the prophet.21Then the people asked for a king, and God gave them Saul son of Kish, from the tribe of Benjamin, who ruled forty years.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.And afterward they desired a king: and God gave unto them Saul the son of Cis, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, by the space of forty years.And afterward they asked for a king: and God gave unto them Saul the son of Kish, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, for the space of forty years.22After removing Saul, He raised up David as their king and testified about him: ‘I have found David son of Jesse a man after My own heart; he will carry out My will in its entirety.’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.’And when he had removed him, he raised up unto them David to be their king; to whom also he gave testimony, and said, I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after mine own heart, which shall fulfil all my will.And when he had removed him, he raised up David to be their king; to whom also he bare witness and said, I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after my heart, who shall do all my will.23From the descendants of this man, God has brought to Israel the Savior Jesus, as He promised.From this man’s offspring, God has brought salvation to Israel according to his promise,Of this man’s seed hath God according to his promise raised unto Israel a Saviour, Jesus:Of this man’s seed hath God according to promise brought unto Israel a Saviour, Jesus;24Before the arrival of Jesus, John preached a baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel.before his coming, when John had first preached the baptism of repentance to Israel.When John had first preached before his coming the baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel.when John had first preached before his coming the baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel.25As John was completing his course, he said, ‘Who do you suppose I am? I am not that One. But there is One coming after me whose sandals I am not worthy to untie.’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.’And as John fulfilled his course, he said, Whom think ye that I am? I am not he. But, behold, there cometh one after me, whose shoes of his feet I am not worthy to loose.And as John was fulfilling his course, he said, What suppose ye that I am? I am not he. But behold, there cometh one after me the shoes of whose feet I am not worthy to unloose.26Brothers, children of Abraham, and you Gentiles who fear God, it is to us that this message of salvation has been sent.“Brothers, children of the stock of Abraham, and those among you who fear God, the word of this salvation is sent out to you.Men and brethren, children of the stock of Abraham, and whosoever among you feareth God, to you is the word of this salvation sent.Brethren, children of the stock of Abraham, and those among you that fear God, to us is the word of this salvation sent forth.27The people of Jerusalem and their rulers did not recognize Jesus, yet in condemning Him they fulfilled the words of the prophets that are read every Sabbath.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.For they that dwell at Jerusalem, and their rulers, because they knew him not, nor yet the voices of the prophets which are read every sabbath day, they have fulfilled them in condemning him.For they that dwell in Jerusalem, and their rulers, because they knew him not, nor the voices of the prophets which are read every sabbath, fulfilled them by condemning him.28And though they found no ground for a death sentence, they asked Pilate to have Him executed.Though they found no cause for death, they still asked Pilate to have him killed.And though they found no cause of death in him, yet desired they Pilate that he should be slain.And though they found no cause of death in him, yet asked they of Pilate that he should be slain.29When they had carried out all that was written about Him, they took Him down from the tree and laid Him in a tomb.When they had fulfilled all things that were written about him, they took him down from the tree and laid him in a tomb.And when they had fulfilled all that was written of him, they took him down from the tree, and laid him in a sepulchre.And when they had fulfilled all things that were written of him, they took him down from the tree, and laid him in a tomb.30But God raised Him from the dead,But God raised him from the dead,But God raised him from the dead:But God raised him from the dead:31and for many days He was seen by those who had accompanied Him from Galilee to Jerusalem. They are now His witnesses to our people.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.And he was seen many days of them which came up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are his witnesses unto the people.and he was seen for many days of them that came up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are now his witnesses unto the people.32And now we proclaim to you the good news: What God promised our fathersWe bring you good news of the promise made to the fathers,And we declare unto you glad tidings, how that the promise which was made unto the fathers,And we bring you good tidings of the promise made unto the fathers,33He has fulfilled for us, their children, by raising up Jesus. As it is written in the second Psalm: ‘You are My Son; today I have become Your Father.’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.’God hath fulfilled the same unto us their children, in that he hath raised up Jesus again; as it is also written in the second psalm, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee.that God hath fulfilled the same unto our children, in that he raised up Jesus; as also it is written in the second psalm, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee.34In fact, God raised Him from the dead, never to see decay. As He has said: ‘I will give you the holy and sure blessings promised to David.’“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.’And as concerning that he raised him up from the dead, now no more to return to corruption, he said on this wise, I will give you the sure mercies of David.And as concerning that he raised him up from the dead, now no more to return to corruption, he hath spoken on this wise, I will give you the holy and sure blessings of David.35So also, He says in another Psalm: ‘You will not let Your Holy One see decay.’Therefore he says also in another psalm, ‘You will not allow your Holy One to see decay.’Wherefore he saith also in another psalm, Thou shalt not suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.Because he saith also in another psalm, Thou wilt not give thy Holy One to see corruption.36For when David had served God’s purpose in his own generation, he fell asleep. His body was buried with his fathers and saw decay.For David, after he had in his own generation served the counsel of God, fell asleep, was laid with his fathers, and saw decay.For David, after he had served his own generation by the will of God, fell on sleep, and was laid unto his fathers, and saw corruption:For David, after he had in his own generation served the counsel of God, fell asleep, and was laid unto his fathers, and saw corruption:37But the One whom God raised from the dead did not see decay.But he whom God raised up saw no decay.But he, whom God raised again, saw no corruption.but he whom God raised up saw no corruption.38Therefore let it be known to you, brothers, that through Jesus the forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you.Be it known to you therefore, brothers, that through this man is proclaimed to you remission of sins;Be it known unto you therefore, men and brethren, that through this man is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins:Be it known unto you therefore, brethren, that through this man is proclaimed unto you remission of sins:39Through Him everyone who believes is justified from everything from which you could not be justified by the law of Moses.and by him everyone who believes is justified from all things, from which you could not be justified by the law of Moses.And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses.and by him every one that believeth is justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses.40Watch out, then, that what was spoken by the prophets does not happen to you:Beware therefore, lest that come on you which is spoken in the prophets:Beware therefore, lest that come upon you, which is spoken of in the prophets;Beware therefore, lest that come upon you which is spoken in the prophets:41‘Look, you scoffers, wonder and perish! For I am doing a work in your days that you would never believe, even if someone told you.’”‘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.’”Behold, ye despisers, and wonder, and perish: for I work a work in your days, a work which ye shall in no wise believe, though a man declare it unto you.Behold, ye despisers, and wonder, and perish; For I work a work in your days, A work which ye shall in no wise believe, if one declare it unto you.42As Paul and Barnabas were leaving the synagogue, the people urged them to continue this message on the next Sabbath.So when the Jews went out of the synagogue, the Gentiles begged that these words might be preached to them the next Sabbath.And when the Jews were gone out of the synagogue, the Gentiles besought that these words might be preached to them the next sabbath.And as they went out, they besought that these words might be spoken to them the next sabbath.43After the synagogue was dismissed, many of the Jews and devout converts to Judaism followed Paul and Barnabas, who spoke to them and urged them to continue in the grace of God.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.Now when the congregation was broken up, many of the Jews and religious proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas: who, speaking to them, persuaded them to continue in the grace of God.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.44On the following Sabbath, nearly the whole city gathered to hear the word of the Lord.The next Sabbath, almost the whole city was gathered together to hear the word of God.And the next sabbath day came almost the whole city together to hear the word of God.And the next sabbath almost the whole city was gathered together to hear the word of God.45But when the Jews saw the crowds, they were filled with jealousy, and they blasphemously contradicted what Paul was saying.But when the Jews saw the multitudes, they were filled with jealousy, and contradicted the things which were spoken by Paul, and blasphemed.But when the Jews saw the multitudes, they were filled with envy, and spake against those things which were spoken by Paul, contradicting and blaspheming.But when the Jews saw the multitudes, they were filled with jealousy, and contradicted the things which were spoken by Paul, and blasphemed.46Then Paul and Barnabas answered them boldly: “It was necessary to speak the word of God to you first. But since you reject it and do not consider yourselves worthy of eternal life, we now turn to the Gentiles.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.Then Paul and Barnabas waxed bold, and said, It was necessary that the word of God should first have been spoken to you: but seeing ye put it from you, and judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting life, lo, we turn to the Gentiles.And Paul and Barnabas spake out boldly, and said, It was necessary that the word of God should first be spoken to you. Seeing ye thrust it from you, and judge yourselves unworthy of eternal life, lo, we turn to the Gentiles.47For this is what the Lord has commanded us: ‘I have made you a light for the Gentiles, to bring salvation to the ends of the earth.’”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.’”For so hath the Lord commanded us, saying, I have set thee to be a light of the Gentiles, that thou shouldest be for salvation unto the ends of the earth.For so hath the Lord commanded us, saying, I have set thee for a light of the Gentiles, That thou shouldest be for salvation unto the uttermost part of the earth.48When the Gentiles heard this, they rejoiced and glorified the word of the Lord, and all who were appointed for eternal life believed.As the Gentiles heard this, they were glad and glorified the word of God. As many as were appointed to eternal life believed.And when the Gentiles heard this, they were glad, and glorified the word of the Lord: and as many as were ordained to eternal life believed.And as the Gentiles heard this, they were glad, and glorified the word of God: and as many as were ordained to eternal life believed.49And the word of the Lord spread throughout that region.The Lord’s word was spread abroad throughout all the region.And the word of the Lord was published throughout all the region.And the word of the Lord was spread abroad throughout all the region.50The Jews, however, incited the religious women of prominence and the leading men of the city. They stirred up persecution against Paul and Barnabas and drove them out of their district.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.But the Jews stirred up the devout and honourable women, and the chief men of the city, and raised persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and expelled them out of their coasts.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 cast them out of their borders.51So they shook the dust off their feet in protest against them and went to Iconium.But they shook off the dust of their feet against them, and came to Iconium.But they shook off the dust of their feet against them, and came unto Iconium.But they shook off the dust of their feet against them, and came unto Iconium.52And the disciples were filled with joy and with the Holy Spirit.The disciples were filled with joy and with the Holy Spirit.And the disciples were filled with joy, and with the Holy Ghost.And the disciples were filled with joy and with the Holy Spirit.
