Acts 13:1-38 Now there were in the church at Antioch, several prophets and teachers; Barnabas, and Simon called Niger, and Lucius who was from the city Cyrene, and Menaen, a son of the guardians of Herod the Tetrarch, and Saul.

Murdock⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Now there were in the church at Antioch, several prophets and teachers; Barnabas, and Simon called Niger, and Lucius who was from the city Cyrene, and Menaen, a son of the guardians of Herod the Tetrarch, and Saul. ² And while they were fasting and making supplication to God, the Holy Spirit said to them: Separate to me Saul and Barnabas, for the work to which I have called them. ³ And after they had fasted and prayed, they laid the hand on them, and sent them away. ⁴ And they, being sent forth by the Holy Spirit, went down to Seleucia, and from there they went by sea as far as Cyprus. ⁵ And when they entered the city of Salamis, they announced the word of our Lord in the synagogues of the Jews. And John ministered to them. ⁶ And when they had travelled over the whole island as far as the city Paphos, they found a certain man, a sorcerer, a Jew, who was a false prophet, and whose name was Bar-Suma. ⁷ He adhered to a wise man, who was the proconsul, and was called Sergius Paulus. And the proconsul sent for Saul and Barnabas, and requested to hear from them the word of God. ⁸ And this sorcerer, Bar-Suma, (whose name is interpreted, Elymas,) withstood them; because he wished to divert the proconsul from the faith. ⁹ And Saul who is called Paul, was filled with the Holy Spirit; and he looked upon him, ¹⁰ and said: O thou full of all subtilties, and all mischiefs, thou child of the calumniator, and enemy of all righteousness; wilt thou not cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord? ¹¹ And now, the hand of the Lord is upon thee, and thou shalt be blind, and shalt not see the sun for a time. And immediately there fell upon him a mist and darkness; and he went about, inquiring who would take him by the hand. ¹² And when the proconsul saw what occurred, he was astonished; and he believed the doctrine of the Lord. ¹³ And Paul and Barnabas went by sea, from the city of Paphos, and came to Perga, a city of Pamphylia. And John separated from them, and went away to Jerusalem. ¹⁴ And they departed from Perga, and came to Antioch, a city of Pisidia: and they entered the synagogue, on the sabbath day, and sat down. ¹⁵ And after the law had been read, and the prophets, the Elders of the synagogue sent to them, and said: Men, brethren, if ye have a word of exhortation, address the people. ¹⁶ And Paul arose, and waved his hand, and said: Men, sons of Israel, and ye that fear God, hear ye. ¹⁷ The God of this people chose our fathers, and raised them up, and multiplied them, when they resided in the land of Egypt; and, with a high arm, he brought them out of it. ¹⁸ And he fed them in the wilderness forty years. ¹⁹ And he extirpated seven nations in the land of Canaan, and gave them their land for an inheritance. ²⁰ And for four hundred and fifty years he gave them judges, until Samuel the prophet. ²¹ And then they asked for themselves a king: and God gave them Saul the son of Kish, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, during forty years. ²² And he removed him, and raised up to them David as king: and he testified of him, and said: I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after my heart: he will do all my pleasure. ²³ From the seed of this man, hath God raised up to Israel, as he promised, Jesus a deliverer. ²⁴ And, before his advent, he sent John to proclaim the baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel. ²⁵ And while John was fulfilling his ministry, he said: Who, suppose ye, that I am? I am not he. But lo, he cometh after me; of whom I am not worthy to untie his shoe-strings. ²⁶ Men, brethren, children of the stock of Abraham, and all who, with you, fear God, to you is this word of life sent. ²⁷ For, those inhabitants of Jerusalem and their chiefs, did not apprehend it; neither did they apprehend also the writings of the prophets, which are read every sabbath; but they condemned him, and fulfilled all the things written. ²⁸ And while they found no ground for his death, they desired of Pilate that they might kill him. ²⁹ And when they had fulfilled all that was written concerning him, they took him down from the cross, and laid him in a sepulchre. ³⁰ But God raised him from the dead. ³¹ And he was seen many days, by them who came up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem; and they are now his witnesses to the people. ³² And lo, we also announce to you, that the promise, which was made to our fathers, ³³ lo, God hath fulfilled it to us their children, in that he raised up Jesus; as it is written in the second psalm: Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee. ³⁴ And God hath so raised him from the dead, that he will not return again and see corruption; as he said: I will give to you the sure grace of David. ³⁵ And again he said, in another place: Thou hast not given thy devout one to see corruption. ³⁶ For David, in his generation, served the pleasure of God, and went to rest, and was added to his fathers, and saw corruption. ³⁷ But this person, whom God raised up, did not see corruption. ³⁸ Know therefore, brethren, that through this man remission of sins is proclaimed to you.
