(46) And Paul and Barnabas said, 46 openly: To you first, ought the word of God to be spoken ; but because ye repel it from you, and decide, against yourselves, that ye are not worthy of life eternal, lo, we turn ourselves to the Gen- tiles. (47) For so hath our Lord commanded us ; 47 as it is written : I have set thee a light to the Gentiles ; that thou shouldst be for life'> unto the ends of the earth. (48) And when the Gentiles 48 heard [this], they rejoiced and glorified God. And those believed, who were appointed' to life eternal. (49) And the word of the Lord was talked of in 49 all that region. — (50) But the Jews stirred up the 50 chiefs of the city, and the opulent Avomen who with them feared God, and set up a persecution against Paul and against Barnabas, and expelled them from their borders. (51) And when they 51 went out, they shook off the dust of their feet against them, and went to the city of Iconium. (52) And the disciples were filled with joy, and 52 with the lloly Spirit.
