Acts 13:16-18

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

¹⁶ So Paul arose, and motioning with his hand said, Men of Israel and you who reverence and fear God, listen!

¹⁷ The God of this people Israel selected our forefathers and made this people great and important during their stay in the land of Egypt, and then with an uplifted arm He led them out from there.^(A)

¹⁸ And for about forty years ^[a]like a fatherly nurse He cared for them in the wilderness and endured their behavior.^(B)
