(October, 4-2016 on Thuesday)
Acts
13(4
& 7): 258 52 And the disciples were filled
with joy and with the Holy Spirit. (7)
147
44 On
the next Sabbath almost the whole city gathered to hear the word of the Lord. (8)
45 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 answered them boldly: “We had to speak the word of God to you first. Since
you reject it and do not consider yourselves worthy of eternal life, we now
turn to the Gentiles.
147
35 So
it is also stated elsewhere: “‘You will not let your holy one see decay.’ (8)
36 “Now when David had
served God’s purpose in his own generation, he fell asleep; he was buried with
his ancestors and his body decayed.
37 But the One(JESUS) whom GOD raised
from the dead did not see decay.
147
26 “Fellow children of Abraham and you GOD-fearing
Gentiles, it is to us that this message of Salvation has been sent. (8)
27 The people of
Jerusalem and their rulers did not recognize Jesus, yet in condemning
Him they fulfilled the words of the prophets that are read every Sabbath.
28 Though they found no proper ground for a death sentence,
they asked Pilate to have Him executed.
147
17 The
GOD of the people of Israel chose our ancestors; He made the people prosper during their stay
in Egypt; with mighty power He led them out of that country; (8)
18 for about forty years he endured their conduct in
the wilderness;
19 and He overthrew seven nations in Canaan, giving their land to His people as their
inheritance.
147
8 But
Elymas the sorcerer (for that is what his name means) opposed them and tried to
turn the proconsul from the faith.
(8)
9 Then Saul, who was
also called Paul, filled with the Holy Spirit, looked straight at Elymas and
said,
10 “You are a child of the devil and an enemy of
everything that is right! You are full of all kinds of deceit and trickery.
Will you never stop perverting the right ways of the Lord?
147
50 But
the Jewish leaders incited the GOD-fearing women of high standing and the
leading men of the city. They stirred up persecution against Paul and Barnabas,
and expelled them from their region.
(5)
51 So they shook the dust off their feet as a warning
to them and went to Iconium.
369
41 “‘Look,
you scoffers, wonder and perish, for
I am going to do something in your days that you would never believe, even if someone told you.’”
(5)
42 As Paul and
Barnabas were leaving the synagogue, the people invited them to speak further
about these things on the next Sabbath.
43 When the congregation was dismissed, many of the Jews and devout
converts to Judaism followed Paul and Barnabas, who talked with them and urged
them to continue in the Grace of GOD.
147
32 “We
tell you the good news: What GOD promised our ancestors
(5)
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 become Your Father.’
34 GOD raised Him from the dead so that He will never be subject to
decay. As GOD has said, “‘I will give You the Holy and sure blessings promised
to David.’
147
23 “From this man’s descendants GOD has brought to Israel the Savior Jesus, as He promised. (5)
24 Before the coming of Jesus, John preached repentance and baptism to all the people of Israel.
25 As John was completing his work, he said: ‘Who do you suppose I am? I
am not the one you are looking for. But there is One(Jesus) coming after me
whose sandals I am not worthy to untie.’
147
14 From
Perga they went on to Pisidian Antioch. On the Sabbath they entered the
synagogue and sat down.
(5)
15 After the reading
from the Law and the Prophets, the leaders of the synagogue sent word to them,
saying, “Brothers, if you have a word of exhortation for the people, please
speak.”
16 Standing up, Paul motioned with his hand and said: “Fellow Israelites and you Gentiles who worship GOD, listen to
me!
147
5 When
they arrived at Salamis, they proclaimed the word of GOD in the Jewish
synagogues. John was with them as their helper. (5)
6 They traveled
through the whole island until they came to Paphos. There they met a Jewish
sorcerer and false prophet named Bar-Jesus,
7 who was an
attendant of the proconsul, Sergius Paulus. The proconsul, an intelligent man,
sent for Barnabas and Saul because he wanted to hear the Word of GOD.
147
47 For
this is what the Lord has commanded us:
“‘I have made
you(Paul) a light for the Gentiles, that you may bring
salvation to the ends of the earth.’” (2)
48 When the Gentiles
heard this, they were glad and honored the Word of the Lord; and all who were appointed for
Eternal life believed.
49 The Word of the Lord spread through the whole region.
147
38 “Therefore,
my friends, I want you to know that through Jesus the forgiveness of sins is
proclaimed to you. (2)
39 Through Him
everyone who believes is set free from every sin, a justification you were not
able to obtain under the law of Moses.
40 Take care that what the prophets have said does not
happen to you:
147
29 When
they had carried out all that was written about Him, they took Him down from
the cross and laid Him in a tomb.
(2)
30 But GOD raised Him from the dead,
31 and for many days He was seen by those who had traveled with Him
from Galilee to Jerusalem. They are now His witnesses to our people.
147
20 All
this took about 450 years. “After this, GOD gave them judges until the time of
Samuel the prophet.
(2)
21 Then the people
asked for a king, and He gave them Saul son of Kish, of the tribe of Benjamin, who ruled forty years.
22 After removing Saul, He made David their king. GOD
testified concerning him: ‘I have found David son of Jesse, a man after My Own
Heart; he will do everything I want him to do.’
147
11 Now
the hand of the Lord is against you. You are going to be blind for a time, not
even able to see the light of the sun.” Immediately mist and darkness came over
him, and he groped about, seeking someone to lead him by the hand. (2)
12 When the proconsul saw what had happened, he
believed, for he was amazed at the teaching about the Lord.
In Pisidian Antioch
13 From Paphos, Paul and his companions sailed to Perga in Pamphylia,
where John left them to return to Jerusalem.
147
1 Now in the church at Antioch there were prophets and teachers:
Barnabas, Simeon called Niger, Lucius of Cyrene, 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.” (2)
3 So after they had fasted and prayed, they placed their hands on
them and sent them off.
On Cyprus
4 The two of them, sent on their way by the Holy Spirit,
went down to Seleucia and sailed from there to Cyprus.
