Acts 13:9 — Acts 13:27

9 But Saul, who is also Paul, filled with the Holy Spirit, looked intently at him

10 And said, O you who are full of all deceit and all unscrupulousness, son of the devil, enemy of all righteousness, will you not cease perverting the straight ways of the Lord?

11 And now, behold, the hand of the Lord is upon you, and you will be blind, not seeing the sun for a time. And instantly a mist and a darkness fell upon him; and he went about and sought some to lead him by the hand.

12 Then the proconsul, seeing what had happened, believed, being astonished at the teaching of the Lord.

13 And putting out to sea from Paphos, Paul and his companions came to Perga of Pamphylia; and John departed from them and returned to Jerusalem.

14 And they passed through from Perga and arrived at Pisidian Antioch. And they went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day and sat down.

15 And after the reading of the Law and the Prophets, the synagogue rulers sent word to them, saying, Men, brothers, if you have any word of exhortation for the people, say it.

16 And Paul, rising up and motioning with his hand, said, Men of Israel and those who fear God, listen.

17 The God of this people Israel chose our fathers and exalted the people during their sojourn in the land of Egypt, and with a high arm He led them out of it.

18 And for a time of about forty years He carried them as a nurse in the wilderness.

19 And when He had overthrown seven nations in the land of Canaan, He distributed their land as an inheritance.

20 And after these things, for about four hundred and fifty years, He gave them judges until Samuel the prophet.

21 And afterward they asked for a king; and God gave them Saul, the son of Kish, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, for forty years.

22 And when He had deposed him, He raised up David for them as king, to whom also He testified and said, I have found David, the son of Jesse, a man according to My heart, who will do all My will.

23 From this man’s seed, God, according to promise, brought to Israel a Savior, Jesus,

24 After John had proclaimed, prior to His public entrance, a baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel.

25 Now as John was completing his course, he said, What do you suppose that I am? I am not the Christ. But behold, One is coming after me, the sandals of whose feet I am not worthy to untie.

26 Men, brothers, sons of the race of Abraham, and those among you who fear God, to us the word of this salvation has been sent forth.

27 For those dwelling in Jerusalem and their rulers, being ignorant of this One and of the words of the prophets which are bread every Sabbath, fulfilled them by judging Him.
