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. 39 Through Him, everyone who believes is justified from everything you could not be justified from by the law of Moses. 40 So beware that what is spoken of in the prophets does not come upon you: 41 'Look, you scoffers! Be amazed and perish, for I am doing a work in your days, a work you will never believe, even if someone tells you about it.' 42 As Paul and Barnabas were leaving the synagogue, the Gentiles begged them to speak these words to them on the next Sabbath. 43 After the synagogue meeting had ended, many of the Jews and devout converts to Judaism followed Paul and Barnabas, who spoke to them and urged them to continue in the grace of God. 44 On the following Sabbath, almost the entire city gathered to hear the word of the Lord. 45 But when the Jews saw the crowds, they were filled with jealousy. They began to contradict what Paul was saying and heaped abuse on him. 46 Then Paul and Barnabas spoke out boldly, saying, 'It was necessary that the word of God be spoken to you first. Since you reject it and do not consider yourselves worthy of eternal life, we are now turning to the Gentiles.' 47 For this is what the Lord has commanded us: 'I have made you a light for the Gentiles, to bring salvation to the ends of the earth.' 48 When the Gentiles heard this, they rejoiced and glorified the word of the Lord, and all who were appointed for eternal life believed. 49 The word of the Lord spread through the entire region. 50 But the Jews incited the devout women of high standing and the leading men of the city. They stirred up persecution against Paul and Barnabas and drove them out of their region. 51 So they shook the dust off their feet as a testimony against them and went to Iconium. 52 And the disciples were filled with joy and with the Holy Spirit. 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.
  • Acts 17:1-3 : 1 After passing through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where there was a synagogue of the Jews. 2 According to his custom, Paul went in to them, and for three Sabbaths he reasoned with them from the Scriptures. 3 He explained and presented evidence that it was necessary for the Christ to suffer and to rise from the dead, saying, 'This Jesus, whom I proclaim to you, is the Christ.'
