and said, O full of all guile and all villany, thou son of the devil, thou enemy of all righteousness, wilt thou not cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord?

And now, behold, the hand of the Lord is upon thee, and thou shalt be blind, not seeing the sun for a season. And immediately there fell on him a mist and a darkness; and he went about seeking some to lead him by the hand.

And after the reading of the law and the prophets the rulers of the synagogue sent unto them, saying, Brethren, if ye have any word of exhortation for the people, say on.

And Paul stood up, and beckoning with the hand said, Men of Israel, and ye that fear God, hearken:

And when he had removed him, he raised up David to be their king; to whom also he bare witness and said, I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after My heart, who shall do all My will.

24 h avendo João, antes da aparecimento dele, pregado a todo o povo de Israel o batismo de arrependimento.

And as John was fulfilling his course, he said, What suppose ye that I am? I am not he. But behold, there cometh one after me the shoes of whose feet I am not worthy to unloose.

And as concerning that he raised him up from the dead, now no more to return to corruption, he hath spoken on this wise, I will give you the holy and sure blessings of David.

40 C uidai pois que não venha sobre vós o que está dito nos profetas:

Beware therefore, lest that come upon you which is spoken in the prophets:

41 V ede, ó desprezadores, admirai-vos e desaparecei; porque realizo uma obra em vossos dias, obra em que de modo algum crereis, se alguém vo-la contar.

Behold, ye despisers, and wonder, and perish; For I work a work in your days, A work which ye shall in no wise believe, if one declare it unto you.

But when the Jews saw the multitudes, they were filled with jealousy, and contradicted the things which were spoken by Paul, and blasphemed.

46 E ntão Paulo e Barnabé, falando ousadamente, disseram: Era mister que a vós se pregasse em primeiro lugar a palavra de Deus; mas, visto que a rejeitais, e não vos julgais dignos da vida eterna, eis que nos viramos para os gentios;

And Paul and Barnabas spake out boldly, and said, It was necessary that the word of God should first be spoken to you. Seeing ye thrust it from you, and judge yourselves unworthy of eternal life, lo, we turn to the Gentiles.

47 p orque assim nos ordenou o Senhor: Eu te pus para luz dos gentios, a fim de que sejas para salvação até os confins da terra.

For so hath the Lord commanded us, saying, I have set thee for a light of the Gentiles, That thou shouldest be for salvation unto the uttermost part of the earth.

48 O s gentios, ouvindo isto, alegravam-se e glorificavam a palavra do Senhor; e creram todos quantos haviam sido destinados para a vida eterna.

But the Jews urged on the devout women of honorable estate, and the chief men of the city, and stirred up a persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and cast them out of their borders.
