New Century Version

⁴⁵Seeing the crowd, the Jewish people became very jealous and said insulting things and argued against what Paul said. ⁴⁶But Paul and Barnabas spoke very boldly, saying, “We must speak the message of God to you first. But you refuse to listen. You are judging yourselves not worthy of having eternal life! So we will now go to the people of other nations. ⁴⁷This is what the Lord told us to do, saying:

‘I have made you a light for the nations;
you will show people all over the world the way to be saved.’” Isaiah 49:6

New International Version

⁴⁵When the Jews saw the crowds, they were filled with jealousy. They began to contradict what Paul was saying^(A) and heaped abuse^(B) on him.

⁴⁶Then Paul and Barnabas answered them boldly: “We had to speak the word of God to you first.^(C) Since you reject it and do not consider yourselves worthy of eternal life, we now turn to the Gentiles.^(D) ⁴⁷For this is what the Lord has commanded us:

“‘I have made you^[a] a light for the Gentiles,^(E)
that you^[b] may bring salvation to the ends of the earth.’^[c]”^(F)
