Acts 13:1-31 : King James Version

13 1Now 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. 2As they ministered to the Lord, and fasted, the Holy Ghost said, Separate me Barnabas and Saul for the work whereunto I have called them. 3And when they had fasted and prayed, and laid their hands on them, they sent them away.
4So they, being sent forth by the Holy Ghost, departed unto Seleucia; and from thence they sailed to Cyprus. 5And 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. 6And when they had gone through the isle unto Paphos, they found a certain sorcerer, a false prophet, a Jew, whose name was Barjesus: 7Which 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. 8But Elymas the sorcerer (for so is his name by interpretation) withstood them, seeking to turn away the deputy from the faith. 9Then Saul, (who also is called Paul,) filled with the Holy Ghost, set his eyes on him. 10And 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? 11And 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. 12Then the deputy, when he saw what was done, believed, being astonished at the doctrine of the Lord. 13Now when Paul and his company loosed from Paphos, they came to Perga in Pamphylia: and John departing from them returned to Jerusalem.
14But when they departed from Perga, they came
to Antioch in Pisidia, and went into the synagogue on the sabbath
day, and sat down. 15And 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. 16Then Paul stood up, and beckoning with his hand
said, Men of Israel, and ye that fear God, give audience. 17The
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. 18And about the
time of forty years suffered he their manners in the wilderness.
19And when he had destroyed seven nations in the land of
Chanaan, he divided their land to them by lot. 20And
after that he gave unto them judges about the space of four hundred
and fifty years, until Samuel the prophet. 21And
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.
22And when he had removed him, he raised up unto them
David to be their king; to whom also he gave their testimony, and
said, I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after mine own
heart, which shall fulfil all my will. 23Of this man's
seed hath God according to his promise raised unto Israel a Saviour,
Jesus: 24When John had first preached before his coming
the baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel. 25And
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. 26Men and brethren,
children of the stock of Abraham, and whosoever among you feareth
God, to you is the word of this salvation sent. 27For
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. 28And
though they found no cause of death in him, yet desired they Pilate
that he should be slain. 29And when they had fulfilled
all that was written of him, they took him down from the tree, and
laid him in a sepulchre. 30But God raised him from the
dead: 31And he was seen many days of them which came up
with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are his witnesses unto the
people.
