  • Acts 13:1-9 : 1 In the church that was at Antioch, there were prophets and teachers: Barnabas, Simeon who was called Niger, Lucius the Cyrenian, Manaen, who had been brought up with Herod the Tetrarch, and Saul. 2 While 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.' 3 Then, after fasting and praying, they laid their hands on them and sent them off. 4 So being sent out by the Holy Spirit, they went down to Seleucia, and from there they sailed to Cyprus. 5 When they arrived at Salamis, they proclaimed the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews, and they also had John as their assistant. 6 When they had traveled through the whole island as far as Paphos, they found a certain magician, a false prophet, a Jew named Bar-Jesus. 7 He was with the proconsul, Sergius Paulus, an intelligent man. This man summoned Barnabas and Saul, seeking to hear the word of God. 8 But Elymas the magician (for that is how his name is translated) opposed them and tried to turn the proconsul away from the faith. 9 But Saul, who was also called Paul, filled with the Holy Spirit, stared intently at him. 10 And he said, 'You are full of all deceit and all fraud, son of the devil, enemy of all righteousness! Will you not stop making crooked the straight paths of the Lord?' 11 And now, behold, the hand of the Lord is upon you, and you will be blind and unable to see the sun for a time. Immediately, a mist and darkness fell upon him, and he went about seeking someone to lead him by the hand. 12 Then the proconsul, when he saw what had happened, believed, being amazed at the teaching of the Lord. 13 Now Paul and his companions set sail from Paphos and came to Perga in Pamphylia. But John left them and returned to Jerusalem. 14 Passing through Perga, they arrived at Antioch in Pisidia. On the Sabbath, they went into the synagogue and sat down. 15 After the reading of the law and the prophets, the leaders of the synagogue sent a message to them, saying, 'Brothers, if you have any word of encouragement for the people, speak.' 16 Paul stood up, and motioning with his hand, said, 'Men of Israel and you who fear God, listen!' 17 The God of this people Israel chose our ancestors, and He made the people prosper during their stay in Egypt. With an uplifted arm, He led them out of it. 18 For about forty years He endured their behavior in the wilderness. 19 And after He had destroyed seven nations in the land of Canaan, He gave their land to them as an inheritance. 20 All this took about 450 years. Afterward, He gave them judges until Samuel the prophet. 21 Then they asked for a king, and God gave them Saul, the son of Kish, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, who ruled for forty years. 22 After removing him, He raised up David to be their king, about whom He testified, 'I have found David, the son of Jesse, to be a man after My own heart, who will do all My will.' 23 From the descendants of this man, according to His promise, God has brought to Israel a Savior, Jesus. 24 Before His coming, John had already proclaimed a baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel. 25 As John was finishing his course, he said, 'Who do you think I am? I am not He. But behold, One is coming after me whose sandals I am not worthy to untie.' 26 Brothers, children of Abraham's lineage, and you who fear God, this message of salvation has been sent to us. 27 The people living in Jerusalem and their rulers, not recognizing Him or the words of the prophets, which are read every Sabbath, fulfilled them by condemning Him. 28 Though they found no basis for a death sentence, they asked Pilate to have Him executed. 29 When they had fulfilled all that was written about Him, they took Him down from the cross and laid Him in a tomb. 30 But God raised Him from the dead. 31 He appeared for many days to those who had come up with Him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are now His witnesses to the people. 32 We bring you the good news that what God promised to our ancestors. 33 He 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 begotten You.' 34 And concerning the fact that He raised Him from the dead, no longer to return to corruption, He said, 'I will give you the holy and faithful promises made to David.' 35 So it is also stated elsewhere: 'You will not let Your Holy One see decay.' 36 For David, after he had served God’s purpose in his own generation, fell asleep, was buried with his ancestors, and saw decay. 37 But He whom God raised did not see decay. 38 Therefore, let it be known to you, brothers, that through this man forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you.
  • Acts 14:1-9 : 1 At Iconium, Paul and Barnabas went together into the Jewish synagogue and spoke in such a way that a large number of both Jews and Greeks believed. 2 But the Jews who refused to believe stirred up the minds of the Gentiles and turned them against the brothers. 3 So Paul and Barnabas stayed there for a considerable time, speaking boldly in reliance on the Lord, who confirmed the message of his grace by granting signs and wonders to be done through their hands. 4 The people of the city were divided; some sided with the Jews, while others supported the apostles. 5 When both Gentiles and Jews, along with their leaders, made a violent attempt to mistreat and stone them, 6 Paul and Barnabas became aware of it and fled to the cities of Lycaonia—Lystra and Derbe—and the surrounding region. 7 There they continued preaching the good news. 8 In Lystra, there was a man who could not use his feet; he was lame from birth and had never walked. 9 This man was listening to Paul as he spoke. Paul looked intently at him and saw that he had faith to be healed. 10 Paul said loudly, 'Stand upright on your feet!' And the man jumped up and began to walk. 11 When the crowd saw what Paul had done, they raised their voices in the Lycaonian language, saying, 'The gods have come down to us in human form!' 12 They called Barnabas Zeus and Paul Hermes, because he was the chief speaker. 13 The priest of Zeus, whose temple was outside the city, brought bulls and garlands to the gates, intending to offer sacrifices with the crowds. 14 But when the apostles, Barnabas and Paul, heard about it, they tore their clothes and rushed into the crowd, shouting, 15 They cried out, 'Men, why are you doing these things? We are also humans with the same nature as you, proclaiming the good news to you, that you should turn from these worthless things to the living God, who made the heaven, the earth, the sea, and everything in them.' 16 In past generations, he allowed all the nations to walk in their own ways. 17 Yet, he did not leave himself without a witness, for he gave you rains from heaven and fruitful seasons, filling you with food and gladness in your hearts. 18 Even with these words, they barely restrained the crowds from sacrificing to them. 19 But some Jews from Antioch and Iconium arrived, persuaded the crowds, and they stoned Paul and dragged him out of the city, thinking he was dead. 20 But when the disciples gathered around him, he got up and went back into the city. The next day, he departed with Barnabas to Derbe. 21 After they had preached the gospel in that city and made many disciples, they returned to Lystra, Iconium, and Antioch,
  • Rom 11:11-17 : 11 Again I ask, did they stumble so as to fall beyond recovery? Certainly not! Rather, because of their transgression, salvation has come to the Gentiles to make Israel envious. 12 Now if their transgression means riches for the world, and their failure means riches for the Gentiles, how much greater riches will come from their full inclusion! 13 I am speaking to you Gentiles. Inasmuch as I am an apostle to the Gentiles, I take pride in my ministry. 14 In the hope that I may somehow provoke my own people to jealousy and save some of them. 15 For if their rejection brought reconciliation to the world, what will their acceptance be but life from the dead? 16 If the first portion of the dough is holy, so is the whole batch; and if the root is holy, so are the branches. 17 But if some of the branches were broken off, and you, a wild olive shoot, were grafted in among them and have come to share in the rich root of the olive tree,
