43 Now when the congregation had broken up, many of the Jews and devout proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas, who, speaking to them, apersuaded them to continue in bthe grace of God.
44 On the next Sabbath almost the whole city came together to hear the word of God.
45 But when the Jews saw the multitudes, they were filled with envy; and contradicting and blaspheming, they aopposed the things spoken by Paul.
46 Then Paul and Barnabas grew bold and said, a“It was necessary that the word of God should be spoken to you first; but bsince you reject it, and judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting life, behold, cwe turn to the Gentiles.
47 For so the Lord has commanded us:
a‘I have set you as a light to the Gentiles,
That you should be for salvation to the ends of the earth.’ ”
a‘I have set you as a light to the Gentiles,
That you should be for salvation to the ends of the earth.’ ”
48 Now when the Gentiles heard this, they were glad and glorified the word of the Lord. aAnd as many as had been appointed to eternal life believed.
