00:00.000 --> 00:05.220
Chapter 13 Now there were in the church
that was at Antioch certain prophets and

00:05.220 --> 00:09.840
teachers, as Barnabas, and Simeon that was
called Niger, and Lucius of Cyrene,

00:10.200 --> 00:13.640
and Mannion, which was brought up with
Herod the Tetrarch and Saul.

00:14.160 --> 00:19.200
As they ministered to the Lord and fasted,
the Holy Ghost said, Separate me Barnabas

00:19.200 --> 00:22.180
and Saul, for the work whereunto I have
called them.

00:22.660 --> 00:26.480
And when they had fasted and prayed,
and laid their hands on them, they sent

00:26.480 --> 00:26.920
them away.

00:27.420 --> 00:31.180
So they, being sent forth by the Holy
Ghost, departed unto Seleucia,

00:31.720 --> 00:33.560
and from thence they sailed to Cyprus.

00:34.440 --> 00:37.360
And when they were at Salamis,
they preached the word of God in the

00:37.360 --> 00:40.720
synagogues of the Jews, and they had also
John to their minister.

00:41.580 --> 00:45.200
And when they had gone through the isle
unto Paphos, they found a certain

00:45.200 --> 00:50.100
sorcerer, a false prophet, a Jew,
whose name was Bar-Jesus, which was with

00:50.100 --> 00:55.160
the deputy of the country, Sergius Paulus,
a prudent man, who called for Barnabas and

00:55.160 --> 00:57.160
Saul, and desired to hear the word of God.

00:58.040 --> 01:02.760
But Elymas, the sorcerer, for so is his
name by interpretation, withstood them,

01:03.220 --> 01:05.340
seeking to turn away the deputy from the
faith.

01:06.460 --> 01:11.660
Then Saul, who also was called Paul,
filled with the Holy Ghost, set his eyes

01:11.660 --> 01:17.160
on him, and said, O fool of all subtlety
and all mischief, thou child of the devil,

01:17.720 --> 01:22.980
thou enemy of all righteousness,
wilt thou not cease to pervert the right

01:22.980 --> 01:23.980
ways of the Lord?

01:24.920 --> 01:30.000
And now, behold, the hand of the Lord is
upon thee, and thou shalt be blind,

01:30.300 --> 01:32.280
not seeing the sun for a season.

01:33.060 --> 01:37.420
And immediately there fell on him a mist
and a darkness, and he went about seeking

01:37.420 --> 01:38.800
some to lead him by the hand.

01:39.560 --> 01:44.100
Then the deputy, when he saw what was
done, believed, being astonished at the

01:44.100 --> 01:44.960
doctrine of the Lord.

01:44.960 --> 01:50.560
Now when Paul and his company loosed from
Paphos, they came to Perga in Pamphylia,

01:51.000 --> 01:53.540
and John, departing from them,
returned to Jerusalem.

01:54.640 --> 01:58.180
But when they departed from Perga,
they came to Antioch in Pisidia,

01:58.760 --> 02:01.780
and went into the synagogue on the sabbath
day, and sat down.

02:02.560 --> 02:06.440
And after the reading of the law and the
prophets, the rulers of the synagogue sent

02:06.440 --> 02:11.220
unto them, saying, Ye men and brethren,
if ye have any word of exhortation for the

02:11.220 --> 02:12.380
people, say on.

02:12.380 --> 02:18.300
Then Paul stood up, and beckoning with his
hands, said, Men of Israel, and ye that

02:18.300 --> 02:21.320
fear God, give audience.

02:22.600 --> 02:28.500
The God of this people of Israel chose our
fathers, and exalted the people when they

02:28.500 --> 02:34.300
dwelt as strangers in the land of Egypt,
and with an high arm brought he them out

02:34.300 --> 02:34.620
of it.

02:36.100 --> 02:41.180
And about the time of forty years suffered
he their manors in the wilderness.

02:42.600 --> 02:47.300
And when he had destroyed seven nations in
the land of Canaan, he divided their land

02:47.300 --> 02:48.260
to them by lot.

02:49.120 --> 02:54.640
And after that he gave unto them judges,
about the space of four hundred and fifty

02:54.640 --> 02:56.680
years, until Samuel the prophet.

02:57.640 --> 03:03.120
And afterward they desired a king,
and God gave unto them Saul the son of

03:03.120 --> 03:07.780
Sis, a man of the tribe of Benjamin,
by the space of forty years.

03:09.160 --> 03:14.340
And when he had removed him, he raised up
unto them David to be their king,

03:14.860 --> 03:19.640
to whom also he gave testimony,
and said, I have found David the son of

03:19.640 --> 03:24.780
Jesse, a man after mine own heart,
which shall fulfill all my will.

03:24.780 --> 03:31.660
Of this man's seed hath God, according to
his promise, raised unto Israel a Saviour,

03:32.520 --> 03:32.960
Jesus.

03:33.980 --> 03:38.960
When John had first preached before his
coming the baptism of repentance to all

03:38.960 --> 03:44.140
the people of Israel, and as John
fulfilled his course, he said,

03:44.700 --> 03:46.820
Whom think ye that I am?

03:47.580 --> 03:48.800
I am not he.

03:48.800 --> 03:55.440
But behold, there cometh one after me,
whose shoes of his feet I am not worthy to

03:55.440 --> 03:55.960
lose.

03:56.720 --> 04:02.560
Men and brethren, children of the stock of
Abraham, and whosoever among you feareth

04:02.560 --> 04:07.160
God, to you is the word of this salvation
sent.

04:08.160 --> 04:12.860
For they that dwell at Jerusalem,
and their rulers, because they knew him

04:12.860 --> 04:18.200
not, nor yet the voices of the prophets,
which are read every Sabbath day,

04:18.200 --> 04:21.160
they have fulfilled them in condemning
him.

04:22.360 --> 04:27.340
And though they found no cause of death in
him, yet desired they Pilate that he

04:27.340 --> 04:28.280
should be slain.

04:29.100 --> 04:33.860
And when they had fulfilled all that was
written of him, they took him down from

04:33.860 --> 04:36.520
the tree, and laid him in a sepulcher.

04:37.680 --> 04:43.060
But God raised him from the dead,
and he was seen many days of them,

04:43.060 --> 04:48.120
which came up with him from Galilee to
Jerusalem, who are his witnesses unto the

04:48.120 --> 04:48.480
people.

04:49.440 --> 04:55.380
And we declare unto you glad tidings,
how that the promise which was made unto

04:55.380 --> 05:01.360
the fathers, God hath fulfilled the same
unto us, their children, in that he hath

05:01.360 --> 05:08.600
raised up Jesus again, as it is also
written in the second psalm, Thou art my

05:08.600 --> 05:11.780
son, this day have I begotten thee.

05:11.780 --> 05:18.040
And as concerning that he raised him up
from the dead, now no more to return to

05:18.040 --> 05:23.320
corruption, he said on this wise,
I will give you the sure mercies of David.

05:24.260 --> 05:30.860
Wherefore he saith also in another psalm,
Thou shalt not suffer thine holy one to

05:30.860 --> 05:31.760
see corruption.

05:32.680 --> 05:37.100
For David, after he had served his own
generation by the will of God,

05:37.100 --> 05:41.920
fell on sleep, and was laid unto his
fathers, and saw corruption.

05:42.880 --> 05:46.740
But he whom God raised again saw no
corruption.

05:48.200 --> 05:53.540
Be it known unto you therefore,
men and brethren, that through this man is

05:53.540 --> 05:56.000
preached unto you the forgiveness of sins.

05:56.660 --> 06:02.240
And by him all that believe are justified
from all things, from which he could not

06:02.240 --> 06:04.480
be justified by the law of Moses.

06:06.000 --> 06:11.220
Beware therefore, lest that come upon you
which is spoken of in the prophets.

06:12.280 --> 06:15.540
Behold, ye despises, and wander,
and perish.

06:16.040 --> 06:21.800
For I work a work in your days,
a work which ye shall in no wise believe,

06:22.100 --> 06:24.220
though a man declare it unto you.

06:24.380 --> 06:28.400
And when the Jews were gone out of the
synagogue, the Gentiles besought that

06:28.400 --> 06:30.720
these words might be preached to them the
next Sabbath.

06:31.820 --> 06:35.800
Now when the congregation was broken up,
many of the Jews and religious proselytes

06:35.800 --> 06:39.720
followed Paul and Barnabas, who,
speaking to them, persuaded them to

06:39.720 --> 06:41.280
continue in the grace of God.

06:42.160 --> 06:46.200
And the next Sabbath day came almost the
whole city together to hear the word of

06:46.200 --> 06:46.540
God.

06:47.340 --> 06:52.180
But when the Jews saw the multitudes,
they were filled with envy, and spake

06:52.180 --> 06:56.540
against those things which were spoken by
Paul, contradicting and blaspheming.

06:57.340 --> 07:01.880
Then Paul and Barnabas waxed bold and
said, It was necessary that the word of

07:01.880 --> 07:03.940
God should first have been spoken to you.

07:04.340 --> 07:08.260
But seeing ye put it from you,
and judge yourselves unworthy of

07:08.260 --> 07:11.680
everlasting life, lo, we turn to the
Gentiles.

07:12.120 --> 07:17.100
For so hath the Lord commanded us,
saying, I have set thee to be a light of

07:17.100 --> 07:22.100
the Gentiles, that thou shouldest be for
salvation unto the ends of the earth.

07:22.600 --> 07:26.720
And when the Gentiles heard this,
they were glad, and glorified the word of

07:26.720 --> 07:27.120
the Lord.

07:27.120 --> 07:30.920
And as many as were ordained to eternal
life believed.

07:31.840 --> 07:34.680
And the word of the Lord was published
throughout all the region.

07:35.460 --> 07:39.840
But the Jews stirred up the devout and
honorable women, and the chief men of the

07:39.840 --> 07:44.540
city, and raised persecution against Paul
and Barnabas, and expelled them out of

07:44.540 --> 07:45.340
their coasts.

07:45.860 --> 07:49.820
But they shook off the dust of their feet
against them, and came unto Iconium.

07:50.240 --> 07:53.920
And the disciples were filled with joy and
with the Holy Ghost.

07:59.490 --> 08:01.630
This ends Disc 8.
