Acts 13:45-47

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁴⁵ And the Jews seeing the multitudes, were filled with envy, and contradicted those things which were said by Paul, blaspheming.

⁴⁶ Then Paul and Barnabas said boldly: To you it behoved us first to speak the word of God: but because you reject it, and judge yourselves unworthy of eternal life, behold we turn to the Gentiles.

⁴⁷ For so the Lord hath commanded us: I have set thee to be the light of the Gentiles; that thou mayest be for salvation unto the utmost part of the earth.
