Acts 13:27-52 ▼

27 The inhabiters of Ierusalem and their rulers because they knewe him not nor yet the voyces of the Prophetes which are redde every Saboth daye they have fulfilled them in condepninge him.

28 And when they founde no cause of deeth in him yet desyred they Pylate to kyll him.

29 And when they had fulfilled all that were written of him they toke him doune from the tree and put him in a sepulcre.

30 But God raysed him agayne from deeth

31 and he was sene many dayes of them which came wt him fro Galile to Ierusalem. Which are his witnesses vnto the people.

32 And we declare vnto you how that ye promes made vnto the fathers

33 God hath fulfilled vnto vs their chyldre in that he reysed vp Iesus agayne eve as it is written in the fyrste psalme: Thou arte my sonne this same daye begat I the.

34 As concernynge that he reysed him vp from deeth now no more to returne to corrupcion he sayde on this wyse: The holy promyses made to David I will geve them faithfully to you.

35 Wherfore he saith also in another place: Thou shalt not soffre thyne holye to se corrupcion.

36 Howbe it David after he had in his tyme fulfilled the will of God he slepte and was layde with his fathers and sawe corrupcion.

37 But he whom God reysed agayne sawe no corrupcion.

38 Be it knowne vnto you therfore ye men and brethre that thorow this man is preached vnto you the forgevenes of synnes

39 and yt by him are all yt beleve iustified fro all thinges fro the which ye coulde not be iustified by ye lawe of Moses.

40 Beware therfore lest that fall on you which is spoken of in the Prophetes:

41 Beholde ye despisers and wonder and perishe ye: for I do aworke in youre dayes which ye shall not beleve yf a ma wolde declare it you.

42 When they were come out of the Synagoge of the Iewes the getyls besought yt they wolde preache the worde to them bitwene the Saboth dayes.

43 When the congregacion was broken vp many of the Iewes and verteous covertes folowed Paul and Barnabas which spake to them and exhorted them to cotinue in the grace of God.

44 And ye nexte Saboth daye came almoste the whole cite to gether to heare the worde of God.

45 When ye Iewes sawe the people they were full of indignacion and spake agaynst those thinges which were spoken of Paul spekinge agaynst it and raylinge on it.

46 Then Paul and Barnabas wexed bolde and sayde: it was mete that the worde of God shulde fyrst have bene preached to you. B ut seinge ye put it from you and thinke youre selfes onworthy of everlastinge lyfe: lo we turne to the gentyls.

47 For so hath the Lorde comaunded vs: I have made ye a light to the getyls yt thou be salvacio vnto ye ende of ye worlde.

48 The getyls hearde and were glad and glorified the worde of ye Lorde and beleved: eve as many as were ordeyned vnto eternall lyfe.

49 And ye worde of the Lorde was publisshed thorowe oute all the region.

50 But the Iewes moved ye worshypfull and honorable wemen and the chefe men of the cyte and reysed persecucio agaynst Paul and Barnabas and expelled them oute of their costes.

51 And they shouke of ye duste of their fete agaynst them and came vnto Iconiu.

52 And the disciples were filled with ioye and with the holy goost.
