\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 Now John having withdrawn from them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.
