Acts 13:26-28

New Testament for Everyone

The messianic challenge

²⁶ “My brothers and sisters,” Paul continued, “children of Abraham’s family, and the godfearers among you: it is to us that the word of this salvation has been sent! ²⁷ The people who live in Jerusalem, and their rulers, didn’t recognize him, and they fulfilled the words of the prophets which are read to them every sabbath by condemning him. ²⁸ Even though they found no reason to condemn him to death, they asked Pilate to have him killed.
