Acts 13:50-52
New English Translation

50 But the Jews incited[a] the God-fearing women of high social standing and the prominent men of the city, stirred up persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and threw them out[b] of their region. 51 So after they shook[c] the dust off their feet[d] in protest against them, they went to Iconium.[e] 52 And the disciples were filled with joy[f] and with the Holy Spirit.
