| 19 And some of them, having been dispersed by the persecution that had occurred under Stephen, traveled around, even to Phoenicia and Cyprus and Antioch, speaking the Word to no one, except to Jews only. 20 But some of these men from Cyprus and Cyrene, when they had entered into Antioch, were speaking also to the Greeks, announcing the Lord Jesus. 21 And the hand of the Lord was with them. And a great number believed and were converted to the Lord. 22 Now the news came to the ears of the Church at Jerusalem about these things, and they sent Barnabas as far as Antioch. 23 And when he had arrived there and had seen the grace of God, he was gladdened. And he exhorted them all to continue in the Lord with a resolute heart. 24 For he was a good man, and he was filled with the Holy Spirit and with faith. And a great multitude was added to the Lord. 25 Then Barnabas set out for Tarsus, so that he might seek Saul. And when he had found him, he brought him to Antioch. 26 And they were conversing there in the Church for an entire year. And they taught such a great multitude, that it was at Antioch that the disciples were first known by the name of Christian. 27 Now in these days, prophets from Jerusalem went over to Antioch. 28 And one of them, named Agabus, rising up, signified through the Spirit that there was going to be a 637 great famine over the entire world, which did happen under Claudius. 29 Then the disciples declared, according to what each one possessed, what they would offer to be sent to the brothers living in Judea. 30 And so they did, sending it to the elders by the hands of Barnabas and Saul. |
| 1 Now at the same time, king Herod extended his hand, in order to afflict some from the Church. 2 Then he killed James, the brother of John, with the sword. 3 And seeing that it pleased the Jews, he set out next to apprehend Peter also. Now it was the days of Unleavened Bread. 4 So when he had apprehended him, he sent him into prison, handing him over into the custody of four groups of four soldiers, intending to produce him to the people after the Passover. 5 And so Peter was detained in prison. But prayers were being made without ceasing, by the Church, to God on his behalf. 6 And when Herod was ready to produce him, in that same night, Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, and was bound with two chains. And there were guards in front of the door, guarding the prison. 7 And behold, an Angel of the Lord stood near, and a light shined forth in the cell. And tapping Peter on the side, he awakened him, saying, “Rise up, quickly.” And the chains fell from his hands. 8 Then the Angel said to him: “Dress yourself, and put on your boots.” And he did so. And he said to him, “Wrap your garment around yourself and follow me.” 9 And going out, he followed him. And he did not know this truth: that this was being done by an Angel. For he thought that he was seeing a vision. 10 And passing by the first and second guards, they came to the iron gate which leads into the city; and it opened for them by itself. And departing, they continued on along a certain side street. And suddenly the Angel withdrew from him. 11 And Peter, returning to himself, said: “Now I know, truly, that the Lord sent his Angel, and that he rescued me from the hand of Herod and from all that the people of the Jews were anticipating.” 12 And as he was considering this, he arrived at the house of Mary, the mother of John, who was surnamed Mark, where many were gathered and were praying. 13 Then, as he knocked at the door of the gate, a girl went out to answer, whose name was Rhoda. 14 And when she recognized the voice of Peter, out of joy, she did not open the gate, but instead, running in, she reported that Peter stood before the gate. 15 But they said to her, “You are crazy.” But she reaffirmed that this was so. Then they were saying, “It is his angel.” 16 But Peter was persevering in knocking. And when they had opened, they saw him and were astonished. 17 But motioning to them with his hand to be silent, he explained how the Lord had led him away from prison. And he said, “Inform James and those brothers.” And going out, he went away to another place. 18 Then, when daylight came, there was no small commotion among the soldiers, as to what had happened concerning Peter. 19 And when Herod had requested him and did not obtain him, having had the guards interrogated, he ordered them led away. And descending from Judea into Caesarea, he lodged there. 20 Now he was angry with those of Tyre and Sidon. But they came to him with one accord, and, having persuaded Blastus, who was over the bedchamber of the king, they petitioned for peace, because their regions were supplied with food by him. 21 Then, on the appointed day, Herod was clothed in kingly apparel, and he sat in the judgment seat, and he gave a speech to them. 22 Then the people were crying out, “The voice of a god, and not of a man!” 23 And immediately, an Angel of the Lord struck him down, because he had not given honor to God. And having been consumed by worms, he expired. 24 But the word of the Lord was increasing and multiplying. 25 Then Barnabas and Saul, having completed the ministry, returned from Jerusalem, bringing with them John, who was surnamed Mark. |
| 1 Now there were, in the Church at Antioch, prophets and teachers, among whom were Barnabas, and Simon, who was called the Black, and Lucius of Cyrene, and Manahen, who was the foster brother of Herod the tetrarch, and Saul. 2 Now as they were ministering for the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said to them: “Separate Saul and Barnabas for me, for the work for which I have selected them.” 3 Then, fasting and praying and imposing their hands upon them, they sent them away. 4 And having been sent by the Holy Spirit, they went to Seleucia. And from there they sailed to Cyprus. 5 And when they had arrived at Salamis, they were preaching the Word of God in the synagogues of the Jews. And they also had John in the ministry. 6 And when they had traveled throughout the entire island, even to Paphos, they found a certain man, a magician, a false prophet, a Jew, whose name was Bar-Jesu. 7 And he was with the proconsul, Sergius Paulus, a prudent man. This man, summoning Barnabas and Saul, wanted to hear the Word of God. 8 But Elymas the magician (for so his name is translated) stood against them, seeking to turn the proconsul away from the Faith. 9 Then Saul, who is also called Paul, having been filled with the Holy Spirit, looked intently at him, 10 and he said: “So full of every deceit and of all falsehoods, son of the devil, enemy of all justice, you never cease to subvert the righteous ways of the Lord! 11 And now, behold, the hand of the Lord is upon you. And you will be blinded, not seeing the sun for a length of time.” And immediately a fog and a darkness fell over him. And wandering around, he was seeking someone who might lead him by the hand. 12 Then the proconsul, when he had seen what was done, believed, being in wonder over the doctrine of the Lord. 13 And when Paul and those who were with him had sailed from Paphos, they arrived at Perga in Pamphylia. Then John departed from them and returned to Jerusalem. 14 Yet truly, they, traveling on from Perga, arrived at Antioch in Pisidia. And upon entering the synagogue on the Sabbath day, they sat down. 15 Then, after the reading from the Law and the Prophets, the leaders of the synagogue sent to them, saying: “Noble brothers, if there is in you any word of exhortation to the people, speak.” 16 Then Paul, rising up and motioning for silence with his hand, said: “Men of Israel and you who fear God, listen closely. 17 The God of the people of Israel chose our fathers, and exalted the people, when they were settlers in the land of Egypt. And with an exalted arm, he led them away from there. 18 And throughout a time of forty years, he endured their behavior in the desert. 19 And by destroying seven nations in the land of Canaan, he divided their land among them by lot, 20 after about four hundred and fifty years. And after these things, he gave them judges, even until the prophet Samuel. 21 And later on, they petitioned for a king. And God gave them Saul, the son of Kish, a man from the tribe of Benjamin, for forty years. 22 And having removed him, he raised up for them 638 king David. And offering testimony about him, he said, ‘I have found David, the son of Jesse, to be a man according to my own heart, who will accomplish all that I will.’ 23 From his offspring, according to the Promise, God has brought Jesus the Savior to Israel. 24 John was preaching, before the face of his advent, a baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel. 25 Then, when John completed his course, he was saying: ‘I am not the one you consider me to be. For behold, one arrives after me, the shoes of whose feet I am not worthy to loosen.’ 26 Noble brothers, sons of the stock of Abraham, and those among you who fear God, it is to you the Word of this salvation has been sent. 27 For those who were living in Jerusalem, and its rulers, heeding neither him, nor the voices of the Prophets that are read on every Sabbath, fulfilled these by judging him. 28 And although they found no case for death against him, they petitioned Pilate, so that they might put him to death. 29 And when they had fulfilled everything that had been written about him, taking him down from the tree, they placed him in a tomb. 30 Yet truly, God raised him up from the dead on the third day. 31 And he was seen for many days by those who went up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who even now are his witnesses to the people. 32 And we are announcing to you that the Promise, which was made to our fathers, 33 has been fulfilled by God for our children by raising up Jesus, just as it has been written in the second Psalm also: ‘You are my Son. This day I have begotten you.’ 34 Now, since he raised him from the dead, so as to no longer return to corruption, he has said this: ‘I will give to you the holy things of David, the faithful one.’ 35 And also then, in another place, he says: ‘You will not allow your Holy One to see corruption.’ 36 For David, when he had ministered to his generation in accordance with the will of God, fell asleep, and he was placed next to his fathers, and he saw corruption. 37 Yet truly, he whom God has raised from the dead has not seen corruption. 38 Therefore, let it be known to you, noble brothers, that through him is announced to you remission from sins and from everything by which you were not able to be justified in the law of Moses. 39 In him, all who believe are justified. 40 Therefore, be careful, lest what was said by the Prophets may overwhelm you: 41 ‘You despisers! Look, and wonder, and be scattered! For I am working a deed in your days, a deed which you would not believe, even if someone were to explain it to you.’ ” 42 Then, as they were departing, they asked them if, on the following Sabbath, they might speak these words to them. 43 And when the synagogue had been dismissed, many among the Jews and the new worshipers were following Paul and Barnabas. And they, speaking to them, persuaded them to continue in the grace of God. 44 Yet truly, on the following Sabbath, nearly the entire city came together to hear the Word of God. 45 Then the Jews, seeing the crowds, were filled with envy, and they, blaspheming, contradicted the things that were being said by Paul. 46 Then Paul and Barnabas said firmly: “It was necessary to speak the Word of God first to you. But because you reject it, and so judge yourselves unworthy of eternal life, behold, we turn to the Gentiles. 47 For so has the Lord instructed us: ‘I have set you as a light to the Gentiles, so that you may bring salvation to the ends of the earth.’ ” 48 Then the Gentiles, upon hearing this, were gladdened, and they were glorifying the Word of the Lord. And as many as believed were preordained to eternal life. 49 Now the word of the Lord was disseminated throughout the entire region. 50 But the Jews incited some devout and honest women, and the leaders of the city. And they stirred up a persecution against Paul and Barnabas. And they drove them away from their parts. 51 But they, shaking the dust from their feet against them, went on to Iconium. 52 The disciples were likewise filled with gladness and with the Holy Spirit. |
| 1 Now it happened in Iconium that they entered together into the synagogue of the Jews, and they spoke in such a way that a copious multitude of both Jews and Greeks believed. 2 Yet truly, the Jews who were unbelieving had incited and enflamed the souls of the Gentiles against the brothers. 3 And so, they remained for a long time, acting faithfully in the Lord, offering testimony to the Word of his grace, providing signs and wonders done by their hands. 4 Then the multitude of the city was divided. And certainly, some were with the Jews, yet truly others were with the Apostles. 5 Now when an assault had been planned by the Gentiles and the Jews with their leaders, so that they might treat them with contempt and stone them, 6 they, realizing this, fled together to Lystra and Derbe, cities of Lycaonia, and to the entire surrounding region. And they were evangelizing in that place. 7 And a certain man was sitting at Lystra, disabled in his feet, lame from his mother’s womb, who had never walked. 8 This man heard Paul speaking. And Paul, gazing at him intently, and perceiving that he had faith, so that he might be healed, 9 said with a loud voice, “Stand upright upon your feet!” And he leaped up and walked around. 10 But when the crowds had seen what Paul had done, they lifted up their voice in the Lycaonian language, saying, “The gods, having taken the likenesses of men, have descended to us!” 11 And they called Barnabas, ‘Jupiter,’ yet truly they called Paul, ‘Mercury,’ because he was the lead speaker. 12 Also, the priest of Jupiter, who was outside the city, in front of the gate, bringing in oxen and garlands, was willing to offer sacrifice with the people. 13 And as soon as the Apostles, Barnabas and Paul, had heard this, tearing their tunics, they leapt into the crowd, crying out 14 and saying: “Men, why would you do this? We also are mortals, men like yourselves, preaching to you to be converted, from these vain things, to the living God, who made heaven and earth and the sea and all that is in them. 15 In previous generations, he permitted all nations to walk in their own ways. 16 But certainly, he did not leave himself without testimony, doing good from heaven, giving rains and fruitful seasons, filling their hearts with food and gladness.” 17 And by saying these things, they were barely able to restrain the crowds from immolating to them. 18 Now certain Jews from Antioch and Iconium arrived there. And having persuaded the crowd, they stoned Paul and dragged him outside of the city, thinking him to be dead. 19 But as the disciples were standing around him, he got up and entered the city. And the next day, he set out with Barnabas for Derbe. 20 And when they had evangelized that city, and had taught many, they returned again to Lystra and to Iconium and to Antioch, 21 strengthening the souls of the disciples, and exhorting them that they should remain always in the faith, and that it is necessary for us to enter into the kingdom of God through many tribulations. 22 And when they had established priests for them in each church, and had 639 prayed with fasting, they commended them to the Lord, in whom they believed. 23 And traveling by way of Pisidia, they arrived in Pamphylia. 24 And having spoken the word of the Lord in Perga, they went down into Attalia. 25 And from there, they sailed to Antioch, where they had been commended to the grace of God for the work which they had now accomplished. 26 And when they had arrived and had gathered together the church, they related what great things God had done with them, and how he had opened the door of faith to the Gentiles. 27 And they remained for no small amount of time with the disciples. |
| 1 And certain ones, descending from Judea, were teaching the brothers, “Unless you are circumcised according to the custom of Moses, you cannot be saved.” 2 Therefore, when Paul and Barnabas made no small uprising against them, they decided that Paul and Barnabas, and some from the opposing side, should go up to the Apostles and priests in Jerusalem concerning this question. 3 Therefore, being led by the church, they traveled through Phoenicia and Samaria, describing the conversion of the Gentiles. And they caused great joy among all the brothers. 4 And when they had arrived in Jerusalem, they were received by the church and the Apostles and the elders, reporting what great things God had done with them. 5 But some from the sect of the Pharisees, those who were believers, rose up saying, “It is necessary for them to be circumcised and to be instructed to keep the Law of Moses.” 6 And the Apostles and elders came together to take care of this matter. 7 And after a great contention had taken place, Peter rose up and said to them: “Noble brothers, you know that, in recent days, God has chosen from among us, by my mouth, Gentiles to hear the word of the Gospel and to believe. 8 And God, who knows hearts, offered testimony, by giving the Holy Spirit to them, just as to us. 9 And he distinguished nothing between us and them, purifying their hearts by faith. 10 Now therefore, why do you tempt God to impose a yoke upon the necks of the disciples, which neither our fathers nor we have been able to bear? 11 But by the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, we believe in order to be saved, in the same manner also as them.” 12 Then the entire multitude was silent. And they were listening to Barnabas and Paul, describing what great signs and wonders God had wrought among the Gentiles through them. 13 And after they had been silent, James responded by saying: “Noble brothers, listen to me. 14 Simon has explained in what manner God first visited, so as to take from the Gentiles a people to his name. 15 And the words of the Prophets are in agreement with this, just as it was written: 16 ‘After these things, I will return, and I will rebuild the tabernacle of David, which has fallen down. And I will rebuild its ruins, and I will raise it up, 17 so that the rest of men may seek the Lord, along with all the nations over whom my name has been invoked, says the Lord, who does these things.’ 18 To the Lord, his own work has been known from eternity. 19 Because of this, I judge that those who were converted to God from among the Gentiles are not to be disturbed, 20 but instead that we write to them, that they should keep themselves from the defilement of idols, and from fornication, and from whatever has been suffocated, and from blood. 21 For Moses, from ancient times, has had in each city those who preach him in the synagogues, where he is read on every Sabbath.” 22 Then it pleased the Apostles and elders, with the whole Church, to choose men from among them, and to send to Antioch, with Paul and Barnabas, and Judas, who was surnamed Barsabbas, and Silas, preeminent men among the brothers, 23 what was written by their own hands: “The Apostles and elders, brothers, to those who are at Antioch and Syria and Cilicia, brothers from the Gentiles, greetings. 24 Since we have heard that some, going out from among us, have troubled you with words, subverting your souls, to whom we gave no commandment, 25 it pleased us, being assembled as one, to choose men and to send them to you, with our most beloved Barnabas and Paul: 26 men who have handed over their lives on behalf of the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. 27 Therefore, we have sent Judas and Silas, who themselves also will, with the spoken word, reaffirm to you the same things. 28 For it has seemed good to the Holy Spirit and to us to impose no further burden upon you, other than these necessary things: 29 that you abstain from things immolated to idols, and from blood, and from what has been suffocated, and from fornication. You will do well to keep yourselves from these things. Farewell.” 30 And so, having been dismissed, they went down to Antioch. And gathering the multitude together, they delivered the epistle. 31 And when they had read it, they were gladdened by this consolation. 32 But Judas and Silas, being also prophets themselves, consoled the brothers with many words, and they were strengthened. 33 Then, after spending some more time there, they were dismissed with peace, by the brothers, to those who had sent them. 34 But it seemed good to Silas to remain there. So Judas alone departed to Jerusalem. 35 And Paul and Barnabas remained at Antioch, with many others, teaching and evangelizing the Word of the Lord. 36 Then, after some days, Paul said to Barnabas, “Let us return to visit the brothers throughout all the cities in which we have preached the Word of the Lord, to see how they are.” 37 And Barnabas wanted to take John, who was surnamed Mark, with them also. 38 But Paul was saying that he ought not to be received, since he withdrew from them at Pamphylia, and he had not gone with them in the work. 39 And there occurred a dissension, to such an extent that they departed from one another. And Barnabas, indeed taking Mark, sailed to Cyprus. 40 Yet truly, Paul, choosing Silas, set out, being delivered by the brothers to the grace of God. 41 And he traveled through Syria and Cilicia, confirming the Churches, instructing them to keep the precepts of the Apostles and the elders. |
