Acts 13:45-47

International Standard Version

⁴⁵ But when the Jewish leaders^[a] saw the crowds, they were filled with jealousy and began to object to the statements made by Paul and even to abuse him.

⁴⁶ Then Paul and Barnabas boldly declared, “We had to speak God’s word to you first, but since you reject it and consider yourselves unworthy of eternal life, we are now going to turn to the gentiles. ⁴⁷ For that is what the Lord ordered us to do: ‘I have made you a light to the gentiles to be the means of salvation to the very ends of the earth.’”^[b]
