| Acts 13 Text (WEB)
|
- 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.
- 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."
- Then, when they had fasted and prayed and laid their hands on them, they sent them away.
- So, being sent out by the Holy Spirit, they went down to Seleucia. From there they sailed to Cyprus.
- When they were at Salamis, they proclaimed the word of God in the Jewish synagogues. They had also John as their attendant.
- When they had gone through the island to Paphos, they found a certain sorcerer, a false prophet, a Jew, whose name was Bar Jesus,
- 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.
- But Elymas the sorcerer (for so is his name by interpretation) withstood them, seeking to turn aside the proconsul from the faith.
- But Saul, who is also called Paul, filled with the Holy Spirit, fastened his eyes on him,
- 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?
- 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.
- Then the proconsul, when he saw what was done, believed, being astonished at the teaching of the Lord.
- Now Paul and his company set sail from Paphos, and came to Perga in Pamphylia. John departed from them and returned to Jerusalem.
- But they, passing on from Perga, came to Antioch of Pisidia. They went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day, and sat down.
- 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."
- Paul stood up, and beckoning with his hand said, "Men of Israel, and you who fear God, listen.
- 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.
- For a period of about forty years he put up with them in the wilderness.
- 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.
- After these things he gave them judges until Samuel the prophet.
- 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.
- 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.'
- From this man's seed, God has brought salvation to Israel according to his promise,
- before his coming, when John had first preached the baptism of repentance to Israel.
- 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.'
- Brothers, children of the stock of Abraham, and those among you who fear God, the word of this salvation is sent out to you.
- 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.
- Though they found no cause for death, they still asked Pilate to have him killed.
- When they had fulfilled all things that were written about him, they took him down from the tree, and laid him in a tomb.
- But God raised him from the dead,
- 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.
- We bring you good news of the promise made to the fathers,
- 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.'
- "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.'
- Therefore he says also in another psalm, 'You will not allow your Holy One to see decay.'
- 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.
- But he whom God raised up saw no decay.
- Be it known to you therefore, brothers, that through this man is proclaimed to you remission of sins,
- and by him everyone who believes is justified from all things, from which you could not be justified by the law of Moses.
- Beware therefore, lest that come on you which is spoken in the prophets:
- '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.'"
- So when the Jews went out of the synagogue, the Gentiles begged that these words might be preached to them the next Sabbath.
- 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.
- The next Sabbath almost the whole city was gathered together to hear the word of God.
- But when the Jews saw the multitudes, they were filled with jealousy, and contradicted the things which were spoken by Paul, and blasphemed.
- 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.
- 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.'"
- As the Gentiles heard this, they were glad, and glorified the word of God. As many as were appointed to eternal life believed.
- The Lord's word was spread abroad throughout all the region.
- 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 they shook off the dust of their feet against them, and came to Iconium.
- The disciples were filled with joy with the Holy Spirit.

- ואנשים נביאים ומלמדים היו באנטיוכיא בקהלה אשר בה בר נבא ושמעון הנקרא ניגר ולוקיוס הקוריני ומנחם אשר גדל עם הורדוס שר הרבע ושאול׃
- ויהי בשרתם את יהוה ובצומם ויאמר רוח הקדש הבדילו לי את בר נבא ואת שאול למלאכה אשר קראתים לה׃
- ויצומו ויתפללו ויסמכו את ידיהם עליהם וישלחום׃
- והמה המשלחים על ידי רוח הקדש ירדו אל סלוקיא ומשם באו באניה אל קפרוס׃
- ויבאו אל עיר סלמיס ויגידו את דבר האלהים בבתי הכנסיות אשר ליהודים ויהי להם גם יוחנן למשרת׃
- ויעברו בכל האי עד פפוס וימצאו איש מגוש אחד נביא שקר איש יהודי ושמו בר ישוע׃
- אשר היה עם סרגיוס פולוס שר המדינה איש נבון והוא קרא אליו את בר נבא ואת שאול ויתאו לשמע את דבר האלהים׃
- ויעמד לנגדם אלימא המגוש כי זה תרגום שמו ויבקש להטות את השר מן האמונה׃
- ושאול הנקרא גם פולוס מלא רוח הקדש ויסתכל בו׃
- ויאמר אתה המלא כל מרמה וכל עולה בן בליעל ושונא כל צדק הלא תחדל לסלף את דרכי יהוה הישרים׃
- ועתה הנה יד יהוה בך והיית עור ולא תראה את השמש עד עת מועד ותפל עליו פתאם אפלה וחשכה ויפן הנה והנה ויבקש איש להוליכו בידו׃
- והשר כאשר ראה את המעשה האמין וישתומם על תורת האדון׃
- ויצאו פולוס והאנשים אשר אתו מפפוס וירדו באניה ויבאו אל פרגי אשר בפמפוליא ויעזב אתם יוחנן וישב ירושלים׃
- והמה נסעו מפרגי ויבאו אל אנטיוכיא אשר בפיסדיא ויבאו אל בית הכנסת ביום השבת וישבו׃
- ויהי אחר קריאת התורה והנביאים וישלחו אליהם ראשי הכנסת לאמר אנשים אחים אם יש לכם דבר מוסר לעם דברו׃
- ויקם פולוס וינף ידו ויאמר אנשי ישראל ויראי אלהים שמעו׃
- אלהי העם הזה אלהי ישראל בחר באבותינו וירומם את העם בהיותם גרים בארץ מצרים ובזרוע רמה הוציאם משם׃
- וישא אתם ויכלכלם במדבר כארבעים שנה׃
- וישמד שבעה גוים בארץ כנען ויחלק את ארצם להם לנחלה׃
- ואחרי כן נתן להם שפטים כארבע מאות וחמשים שנה עד ימי שמואל הנביא׃
- וישאלו מלך ויתן להם אלהים את שאול בן קיש איש משבט בנימן ארבעים שנה׃
- וכהסירו אותו ויקם את דוד למלך עליהם אשר גם העיד עליו לאמר מצאתי דוד את בן ישי איש כלבבי והוא יעשה את כל חפצי׃
- וזה הוא אשר מזרעו הקים האלהים כפי ההבטחה גואל לישראל את ישוע׃
- אשר לפני בואו קדם יוחנן לקרא את טבילת התשובה אל כל עם ישראל׃
- ויהי ככלות יוחנן את מרוצתו ויאמר למי תחשבוני לא אני הוא כי הנה הוא בא אחרי ואני נקלתי מהתיר את נעלי רגליו׃
- אנשים אחים בני משפחת אברהם ויראי אלהים אשר בקרבכם לכם שלוח דבר הישועה הזאת׃
- כי ישבי ירושלים וראשיהם יען אשר לא הכירהו מלאו במשפטם אשר שפטהו את דברי הנביאים הנקראים בכל שבת׃
- ואף כי לא מצאו בו משפט מות שאלו מאת פילטוס להמיתו׃
- וכאשר השלימו את כל הדברים הכתובים עליו הורידו אותו מן העץ ויניחהו בקבר׃
- אבל האלהים הקימו מן המתים׃
- וירא ימים רבים אל העלים אתו מן הגליל ירושלימה והמה עתה עדיו אל העם׃
- ואנחנו מבשרים אתכם את בשורת ההבטחה אשר היתה לאבותינו כי אתה מלא האלהים לבנינו בהקימו את ישוע׃
- ככתוב במזמור השני בני אתה היום ילדתיך׃
- ועל אשר הקים אתו מן המתים לבלתי שוב עוד לשחת כה אמר אתן לכם חסדי דוד הנאמנים׃
- על כן הוא אמר גם במקום אחר לא תתן חסידך לראות שחת׃
- כי דוד גוע אחרי שרתו בדורו לעצת האלהים ויאסף אל אבותיו וירא את השחת׃
- ואשר האלהים הקים אותו הוא לא ראה השחת׃
- לכן אנשים אחים יודע לכם כי על ידי זה הגד לכם סליחת החטאים׃
- ובכל אשר לא יכלתם להצטדק בתורת משה כל המאמין יצדק על ידו׃
- לכן השמרו לכם פן יבוא עליכם הנאמר בנביאים׃
- ראו בגדים והתמהו ושמו כי פעל פעל אני בימיכם פעל אשר לא תאמינו כי יספר לכם׃
- ובצאת היהודים מבית הכנסת בקשו מהם הגוים לדבר אליהם את הדברים האלה בשבת הבאה׃
- ורבים מן היהודים ומגרי הצדק הלכו אחרי פולוס ובר נבא בהפרד הקהל והמה דברו על לבם ויזהירום לעמד בחסד האלהים׃
- ובשבת השנית נקהלה כמעט כל העיר לשמע את דבר יהוה׃
- ויהי כראות היהודים את המון העם וימלאו קנאה ויכחישו את דברי פולוס הכחש וגדף׃
- אז הגידו פולוס ובר נבא על פניהם לאמר בדין היה להשמיע אתכם בראשונה את דבר האלהים ועתה אחרי אשר מאסתם אותו ואינכם זכים בעיניכם לחיי העולם לכן הננו פנים אל הגוים׃
- כי כן צוה עלינו האדון נתתיך לאור גוים להיות ישועתי עד קצה הארץ׃
- וישמחו הגוים כשמעם ויהללו את דבר יהוה ויאמינו כל אשר היו מוכנים לחיי עולם׃
- ויפרץ דבר יהוה בכל המקום׃
- אך היהודים הסיתו את הנשים החסידות והחשובות ואת אצילי העיר ויעוררו רדיפה על פולוס ובר נבא ויגרשום מגבולם׃
- והמה נערו עליהם את העפר מעל רגליהם וילכו לאיקניון׃
- והתלמידים מלאו שמחה ורוח הקדש׃

| Acts 13 Text (Latin)
|
- Erant autem in ecclesia, quæ erat Antiochiæ, prophetæ, et doctores, in quibus Barnabas, et Simon, qui vocabatur Niger, et Lucius Cyrenensis, et Manahen, qui erat Herodis Tetrarchæ collactaneus, et Saulus.
- Ministrantibus autem illis Domino, et jejunantibus, dixit illis Spiritus Sanctus : Segregate mihi Saulum et Barnabam in opus ad quod assumpsi eos.
- Tunc jejunantes, et orantes, imponentesque eis manus, dimiserunt illos.
- Et ipsi quidem missi a Spiritu Sancto abierunt Seleuciam : et inde navigaverunt Cyprum.
- Et cum venissent Salaminam, prædicabant verbum Dei in synagogis Judæorum. Habebant autem et Joannem in ministerio.
- Et cum perambulassent universam insulam usque Paphum, invenerunt quemdam virum magnum pseudoprophetam, Judæum, cui nomen erat Barjesu,
- qui erat cum proconsule Sergio Paulo viro prudente. Hic, accersitis Barnaba et Saulo, desiderabat audire verbum Dei.
- Resistebat autem illis Elymas magus (si enim interpretatur nomen ejus), quærens avertere proconsulem a fide.
- Saulus autem, qui et Paulus, repletus Spiritu Sancto, intuens in eum,
- dixit : O plene omni dolo et omni fallacia, fili diaboli, inimice omnis justitiæ, non desinis subvertere vias Domini rectas.
- Et nunc ecce manus Domini super te, et eris cæcus, non videns solem usque ad tempus. Et confestim cecidit in eum caligo, et tenebræ, et circuiens quærebat qui ei manum daret.
- Tunc proconsul cum vidisset factum, credidit admirans super doctrina Domini.
- Et cum a Papho navigassent Paulus, et qui cum eo erant, venerunt Pergen Pamphyliæ. Joannes autem discedens ab eis, reversus est Jerosolymam.
- Illi vero pertranseuntes Pergen, venerunt Antiochiam Pisidiæ : et ingressi synagogam die sabbatorum, sederunt.
- Post lectionem autem legis, et prophetarum, miserunt principes synagogæ ad eos, dicentes : Viri fratres, si quis est in vobis sermo exhortationis ad plebem, dicite.
- Surgens autem Paulus, et manu silentium indicens, ait : Viri Israëlitæ, et qui timetis Deum, audite :
- Deus plebis Israël elegit patres nostros, et plebem exaltavit cum essent incolæ in terra Ægypti, et in brachio excelso eduxit eos ex ea,
- et per quadraginta annorum tempus mores eorum sustinuit in deserto.
- Et destruens gentes septem in terra Chanaan, sorte distribuit eis terram eorum,
- quasi post quadringentos et quinquaginta annos : et post hæc dedit judices, usque ad Samuel prophetam.
- Et exinde postulaverunt regem : et dedit illis Deus Saul filium Cis, virum de tribu Benjamin, annis quadraginta :
- et amoto illo, suscitavit illis David regem : cui testimonium perhibens, dixit : Inveni David filium Jesse, virum secundum cor meum, qui faciet omnes voluntates meas.
- Hujus Deus ex semine secundum promissionem eduxit Israël salvatorem Jesum,
- prædicante Joanne ante faciem adventus ejus baptismum pœnitentiæ omni populo Israël.
- Cum impleret autem Joannes cursum suum, dicebat : Quem me arbitramini esse, non sum ego, sed ecce venit post me, cujus non sum dignus calceamenta pedum solvere.
- Viri fratres, filii generis Abraham, et qui in vobis timent Deum, vobis verbum salutis hujus missum est.
- Qui enim habitabant Jerusalem, et principes ejus hunc ignorantes, et voces prophetarum, quæ per omne sabbatum leguntur, judicantes impleverunt,
- et nullam causam mortis invenientes in eo, petierunt a Pilato, ut interficerent eum.
- Cumque consummassent omnia quæ de eo scripta erant, deponentes eum de ligno, posuerunt eum in monumento.
- Deus vero suscitavit eum a mortuis tertia die : qui visus est per dies multos his,
- qui simul ascenderant cum eo de Galilæa in Jerusalem : qui usque nunc sunt testes ejus ad plebem.
- Et nos vobis annuntiamus eam, quæ ad patres nostros repromissio facta est :
- quoniam hanc Deus adimplevit filiis nostris resuscitans Jesum, sicut et in Psalmo secundo scriptum est : Filius meus es tu, ego hodie genui te.
- Quod autem suscitavit eum a mortuis, amplius jam non reversurum in corruptionem, ita dixit : Quia dabo vobis sancta David fidelia.
- Ideoque et alias dicit : Non dabis sanctum tuum videre corruptionem.
- David enim in sua generatione cum administrasset, voluntati Dei dormivit : et appositus est ad patres suos, et vidit corruptionem.
- Quem vero Deus suscitavit a mortuis, non vidit corruptionem.
- Notum igitur sit vobis, viri fratres, quia per hunc vobis remissio peccatorum annuntiatur, et ab omnibus quibus non potuistis in lege Moysi justificari,
- in hoc omnis qui credit, justificatur.
- Videte ergo ne superveniat vobis quod dictum est in prophetis :
- Videte contemptores, et admiramini, et disperdimini : quia opus operor ego in diebus vestris, opus quod non credetis, si quis enarraverit vobis.
- Exeuntibus autem illis rogabant ut sequenti sabbato loquerentur sibi verba hæc.
- Cumque dimissa esset synagoga, secuti sunt multi Judæorum, et colentium advenarum, Paulum et Barnabam : qui loquentes suadebant eis ut permanerent in gratia Dei.
- Sequenti vero sabbato pene universa civitas convenit audire verbum Dei.
- Videntes autem turbas Judæi, repleti sunt zelo, et contradicebant his quæ a Paulo dicebantur, blasphemantes.
- Tunc constanter Paulus et Barnabas dixerunt : Vobis oportebat primum loqui verbum Dei : sed quoniam repellitis illud, et indignos vos judicatis æternæ vitæ, ecce convertimur ad gentes.
- Sic enim præcepit nobis Dominus : Posui te in lucem gentium, ut sis in salutem usque ad extremum terræ.
- Audientes autem gentes gavisæ sunt, et glorificabant verbum Domini : et crediderunt quotquot erant præordinati ad vitam æternam.
- Disseminabatur autem verbum Domini per universam regionem.
- Judæi autem concitaverunt mulieres religiosas, et honestas, et primos civitatis, et excitaverunt persecutionem in Paulum et Barnabam : et ejecerunt eos de finibus suis.
- At illi excusso pulvere pedum in eos, venerunt Iconium.
- Discipuli quoque replebantur gaudio, et Spiritu Sancto.

| Acts 13 Text (KJV)
|
- 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.
- 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 when they had fasted and prayed, and laid their hands on them, they sent them away.
- So they, being sent forth by the Holy Ghost, departed unto Seleucia; and from thence they sailed to Cyprus.
- 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 had gone through the isle unto Paphos, they found a certain sorcerer, a false prophet, a Jew, whose name was Bar-jesus:
- 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.
- But Elymas the sorcerer (for so is his name by interpretation) withstood them, seeking to turn away the deputy from the faith.
- Then Saul, (who also is called Paul,) filled with the Holy Ghost, set his eyes on him,
- 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 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.
- Then the deputy, when he saw what was done, believed, being astonished at the doctrine of the Lord.
- Now when Paul and his company loosed from Paphos, they came to Perga in Pamphylia: and John departing from them returned to Jerusalem.
- But when they departed from Perga, they came to Antioch in Pisidia, and went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and sat down.
- 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.
- Then Paul stood up, and beckoning with his hand said, Men of Israel, and ye that fear God, give audience.
- 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.
- And about the time of forty years suffered he their manners in the wilderness.
- And when he had destroyed seven nations in the land of Chanaan, he divided their land to them by lot.
- And after that he gave unto them judges about the space of four hundred and fifty years, until Samuel the prophet.
- 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 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.
- Of this man's seed hath God according to his promise raised unto Israel a Saviour, Jesus:
- When John had first preached before his coming the baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel.
- 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.
- Men and brethren, children of the stock of Abraham, and whosoever among you feareth God, to you is the word of this salvation sent.
- 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.
- And though they found no cause of death in him, yet desired they Pilate that he should be slain.
- And when they had fulfilled all that was written of him, they took him down from the tree, and laid him in a sepulchre.
- But God raised him from the dead:
- 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 we declare unto you glad tidings, how that the promise which was made unto the fathers,
- 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.
- 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.
- Wherefore he saith also in another psalm, Thou shalt not suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.
- 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:
- But he, whom God raised again, saw no corruption.
- Be it known unto you therefore, men and brethren, that through this man is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins:
- And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses.
- Beware therefore, lest that come upon you, which is spoken of in the prophets;
- 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.
- And when the Jews were gone out of the synagogue, the Gentiles besought that these words might be preached to them the next sabbath.
- 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.
- And the next sabbath day came almost the whole city together to hear the word of God.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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 the word of the Lord was published throughout all the region.
- 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 they shook off the dust of their feet against them, and came unto Iconium.
- And the disciples were filled with joy, and with the Holy Ghost.
