\subsection{Acts 13}
\VS{1} Now there were in Antioch throughout the existing assembly\fnEkklhsia{} prophets and 
teachers: Barnabbas and Symeon called Niger, and Luke the Cyrenian, Mark and 
Herod the foster-brother\footnote{or ``companion'', ``intimate friend''} of 
the tetrarch, and Saul. 
\VS{2} Now while they were ministering to the Lord 
and fasting, the Holy Spirit said: Separate to me Barnabbas and Saul to the 
work for which I have called them. 
\VS{3} Then having fasted and having 
prayed and having placed [their] hands on them, they departed. 

\VS{4} Indeed therefore they, having been sent out by the Holy Spirit, went 
down to Selence, from there they sailed to Cyrene, 
\VS{5} And having come to 
be in Salamini they proclaimed the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews 
 --- now they also had John [for an] assistant. 
\VS{6} So having gone through the 
whole island until Paphos, they found a certain man [who was a] Jewish magician\footnote{\MAGOS} false prophet, Bariesis by name, 
\VS{7} who was with the proconsul Sergio Paulo, 
[a] man [of] understanding. This [one] having summoned Barnabbas and Saul sought to hear the word of God. 
\VS{8} But Elymas the magician\footnote{\MAGOS} resisted them --- for thus 
do they translate his name --- seeking to turn away the proconsul from the 
faith. 
\VS{9} But Saul, indeed Paul, having been filled of [the] Holy Spirit, 
having looked intently to him 
\VS{10} said: O full of every deceit and every 
villainy, son of the devil, enemy of all justice, should you not cease to be 
turning away the straight ways of the Lord? 
\VS{11} And now behold [the] hand of 
the Lord [is] upon you, and you will be blind, not seeing the sun until [the] 
opportune-time\fnKairos{}. So immediately there fell upon him mistiness and darkness, 
and going [about], he was seeking one to lead [him] by the hand. 
\VS{12} Then having 
seen the [thing] having come to pass, the proconsul believed, being astonished upon 
the teaching of the Lord. 
\VS{13} So having gone up from Paphos, those with 
Paul went to Perga of Pamphilia. Now John having withdrawn from them 
returned to Jerusalem. 
\VS{14} Now they, having gone through from Perga, 
came to be in Antioch the Pisidian, and having gone into the synagogue on 
the day of the Sabbath, they sat. 
\VS{15} So after the reading of the law 
and the prophets, the chief of the synagogue sent to them saying: Men, 
brothers, if there is in you [a] word of encouragement to the people, be 
speaking. 
\VS{16} So Paul having arisen and having motioned with his hand 
said: Men of Israel and [men] fearing God, hear [me]. 
\VS{17} The God of this people 
Israel chose our fathers, and he exalted the people in their sojourn in [the] land Egypt, and with [his] high arm he brought them out of it, 
\VS{18} and [about] forty years time 
he put up with them in the wilderness, 
\VS{19} and having conquered seven 
nations in [the] land Canaan, he gave as inheritance their land 
\VS{20} for [about] four hundred and fifty years. Now after these [things] he gave judges until Samuel [the] prophet. 
\VS{21} And from there they requested\fnAiteo{} [a] king, and God gave them 
Saul son [of] Kis, [a] man from the tribe [of] Benjamin, forty years [old]. 
\VS{22} And having removed him he raised David to them for king, to whom he spoke having 
witnessed\footnote{Ps.89:20}: 
\begin{verse}
I found David [son] of Jesse, [a] man after my heart, who will do all my 
will. 
\end{verse}
\VS{23} God from the seed of this [one] according to [the] promise brought to 
Israel [a] savior --- Jesus --- 
\VS{24} John having proclaimed beforehand before the face of his coming [the] 
baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel. 
\VS{24} So as John was fulfilling the course, he was saying: Who do 
you suppose me to be? I am not [he]; but behold there comes after me whom I am 
not worthy to loose the sandals of his feet. 
\VS{26} Men, brothers, sons of the generation of Abraham and those among you fearing God, 
to you the word of this salvation is sent out. 
\VS{27} For those dwelling in Jerusalem and 
those ruling them, not knowing this [one], and reading the voices of the prophets 
every Sabbath, having judged [this one] they fulfilled [them]. 
\VS{28} And having found no reason\footnote{or ``accusation''} for death, 
they asked\fnAiteo{} Pilate to have him done away with. 
\VS{29} Now as he completed everything written concerning 
him, having come down from the tree, he was placed in [a] tomb. 
\VS{30} But God raised him from the dead, 
\VS{31} who was seen for many days to those having 
gone up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are [now] witnesses of him to the 
people. 
\VS{32} And we good-news to you the promise to the fathers come to 
pass, 
\VS{33} that God has fulfilled this [thing] to us children, having raised 
Jesus, as it is also written in the second Psalm\footnote{Ps.2:7}: 

\begin{verse}
You are my son. \\
Today have I begotten you.
\end{verse}

\VS{34} So because he raised him from [the] dead, no longer [about] to be returning to corruption, thus has he spoke that:

\begin{verse}
I will give to you the approved [things of] David \\
[which are] trustworthy [things].
\end{verse}

\VS{35} And therefore he also says in another\footnote{Ps.16:10}:

\begin{verse}
You will not give your approved [one] to see corruption. 
\end{verse}

\VS{36} For David indeed, in his own generation having served the intention 
of God, he fell asleep, and was placed with his fathers and saw corruption. 
\VS{37} But whom God raised, he did not see corruption. 
\VS{38} 
Let\fnImperative{} it therefore be known to you, men, brothers, that 
through this [one] is allowance\footnote{or ``forgiveness''} of sins proclaimed 
to you, and from all of which you were unable to be justified by [the] law of 
Moses. 
\VS{39} By this [one] everyone believing is justified. 
\VS{40} Be seeing 
therefore that you not come upon the [thing] spoken in the prophets\footnote{Hab.1:5}:

\begin{verse}
\VS{41} Look, O scoffers, and marvel and disappear, \\
For I work [a] work in your days, \\
[a] work which you would \negd{not} believe \\
if anyone recounted [it] to you.
\end{verse}

\VS{42} Now while [Paul and Barnabbas] were going out they were calling upon [them] to speak to them 
these words on the next Sabbath. 
\VS{43} Now when the synagogue let out, 
many of the Jews and the worshipping proselytes followed Paul and Barnabbas, 
who having called upon them, they were persuading [them] to be remaining in the 
grace of God. 
\VS{44} Now on the coming Sabbath, nearly all the city was 
gathered to hear the word of God. 
\VS{45} So the Jews, having seen the 
crowds, they were filled with jealousy, and were contradicting those 
speaking under Paul, slandering. 
\VS{46} So Paul and Barnabbas, having 
spoken boldly, said: To you was it first necessary to speak the word of God. 
Since you reject it and do not judge yourselves worthy of eternal zoe-life\fnZoe{}, 
behold we turn to the nations\footnote{i.e. the Gentiles}. 
\VS{47} For thus 
has the Lord commanded us\footnote{Isa.49:6}:

\begin{verse}
I have placed you for [a] light of the nations\footnote{i.e. the Gentiles}, 
\\
For you to be for salvation to [the] end of the earth\fnGe{}.
\end{verse}

\VS{48} So having heard, the nations\footnote{i.e. the Gentiles} were 
rejoicing and were glorifying the word of God, and they believed, as many as 
were designated to zoe-life\fnZoe{} eternal. 
\VS{49} So the word of the Lord was being 
brought through [the] whole region. 
\VS{50} So the Jews aroused the prominent 
worshipping women and the foremost [citizens] of the city, and raised up [a] persecution 
against Paul and Barnabbas, and threw them from their region. 
\VS{51} But 
having shaken off the dust of their feet against them, they came to Iconia, 
\VS{52} and the disciples were filled with joy and [the] Holy Spirit.
