2And while they were doing the Lord's work, and going without food, the Holy Spirit said, Let Barnabas and Saul be given to me for the special work for which they have been marked out by me.

2As they ministered to the Lord, and fasted, the Holy Ghost said, Separate me Barnabas and Saul for the work whereunto I have called them.

2And as they were ministering to the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, Separate me now Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them.

2And as they ministered to the Lord, and fasted, the Holy Spirit said, Separate me Barnabas and Saul for the work whereunto I have called them.

3Then, after prayer and going without food they put their hands on them, and sent them away.

3And when they had fasted and prayed, and laid their hands on them, they sent them away.

3Then, having fasted and prayed, and having laid [their] hands on them, they let [them] go.

3Then, when they had fasted and prayed and laid their hands on them, they sent them away.

9But Saul, who also [is] Paul, filled with [the] Holy Spirit, fixing his eyes upon him,

9But Saul, who is also called Paul, filled with the Holy Spirit, fastened his eyes on him,

10O you, who are full of false tricks and evil ways, a son of the Evil One, hating all righteousness, will you for ever be turning people from the right ways of the Lord?

11And now, see, the hand of the Lord is on you, and you will be blind and not able to see the sun for a time. And straight away a dark mist came down on him; and he went about looking for a guide.

27For the men of Jerusalem and their rulers, having no knowledge of him, or of the sayings of the prophets which come to their ears every Sabbath day, gave effect to them by judging him.

27For they that dwell at Jerusalem, and their rulers, because they knew him not, nor yet the voices of the prophets which are read every sabbath day, they have fulfilled them in condemning him.

27for those who dwell in Jerusalem, and their rulers, not having known him, have fulfilled also the voices of the prophets which are read on every sabbath, [by] judging [him].

30But God gave him back from the dead:

30But God raised him from the dead:

30butGod raised him from among [the] dead,

30But God raised him from the dead:

31And for a number of days he was seen by those who came with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are now his witnesses before the people.

31And he was seen many days of them which came up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are his witnesses unto the people.

32And we are giving you the good news of the undertaking made to the fathers,

32And we declare unto you glad tidings, how that the promise which was made unto the fathers,

32And we declare unto you the glad tidings of the promise made to the fathers,

32And we bring you good tidings of the promise made unto the fathers,

33Which God has now put into effect for our children, by sending Jesus; as it says in the second Psalm, You are my Son; this day I have given you being.

33God hath fulfilled the same unto us their children, in that he hath raised up Jesus again; as it is also written in the second psalm, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee.

33thatGod has fulfilled this to us their children, having raised up Jesus; as it is also written in the second psalm, Thou art my Son: this day have I begotten thee.

34And about his coming back from the dead, never again to go to destruction, he has said these words, I will give you the holy and certain mercies of David.

34And as concerning that he raised him up from the dead, now no more to return to corruption, he said on this wise, I will give you the sure mercies of David.

34But that he raised him from among [the] dead, no more to return to corruption, he spoke thus: I will give to you the faithful mercies of David.

34And 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.

35Because he says in another Psalm, You will not let your Holy One see destruction.

35Wherefore he saith also in another psalm, Thou shalt not suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.

35Wherefore also he says in another, Thou wilt not suffer thy gracious one to see corruption.

35Because he saith also in another psalm, Thou wilt not give thy Holy One to see corruption.

36Now David, having done God's work for his generation, went to sleep, and was put with his fathers, and his body came to destruction:

36For David, after he had served his own generation by the will of God, fell on sleep, and was laid unto his fathers, and saw corruption:

36For David indeed, having in his own generation ministered to the will ofGod, fell asleep, and was added to his fathers and saw corruption.

36For David, after he had in his own generation served the counsel of God, fell asleep, and was laid unto his fathers, and saw corruption:

37But he, who was lifted up by God, did not see destruction.

37But he, whom God raised again, saw no corruption.

37But he whomGod raised up did not see corruption.

37but he whom God raised up saw no corruption.

38And so, let it be clear to you, my brothers, that through this man forgiveness of sins is offered to you:

38Be it known unto you therefore, men and brethren, that through this man is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins:

38Be it known unto you, therefore, brethren, that through this man remission of sins is preached to you,

38Be it known unto you therefore, brethren, that through this man is proclaimed unto you remission of sins:

39And through him everyone who has faith is made free from all those things, from which the law of Moses was not able to make you free.

39And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses.

39and from all things from which ye could not be justified in the law of Moses, in him every one that believes is justified.

39and by him every one that believeth is justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses.

40So take care that these words of the prophets do not come true for you;

40Beware therefore, lest that come upon you, which is spoken of in the prophets;

40See therefore that that which is spoken in the prophets do not come upon [you],

40Beware therefore, lest that come upon you which is spoken in the prophets:

41See, you doubters, have wonder and come to your end; for I will do a thing in your days to which you will not give belief, even if it is made clear to you.

41Behold, ye despisers, and wonder, and perish: for I work a work in your days, a work which ye shall in no wise believe, though a man declare it unto you.

41Behold, ye despisers, and wonder and perish; for I work a work in your days, a work which ye will in no wise believe if one declare it to you.

41Behold, 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.

42And when they went out, they made a request that these words might be said to them again on the Sabbath after.

42And when the Jews were gone out of the synagogue, the Gentiles besought that these words might be preached to them the next sabbath.

42And as they went out they begged that these words might be spoken to them the ensuing sabbath.

42And as they went out, they besought that these words might be spoken to them the next sabbath.

43Now when the meeting was ended, a number of the Jews and of the God-fearing Gentiles who had become Jews, went after Paul and Barnabas: who put before them how important it was to keep on in the grace of God.

43Now when the congregation was broken up, many of the Jews and religious proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas: who, speaking to them, persuaded them to continue in the grace of God.

43And the congregation of the synagogue having broken up, many of the Jews and of the worshipping proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas, who speaking to them, persuaded them to continue in the grace ofGod.

43Now when the synagogue broke up, many of the Jews and of the devout proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas; who, speaking to them, urged them to continue in the grace of God.

44And on the Sabbath after, almost all the town came together to give hearing to the word of God.

44And the next sabbath day came almost the whole city together to hear the word of God.

44And on the coming sabbath almost all the city was gathered together to hear the word ofGod.

44And the next sabbath almost the whole city was gathered together to hear the word of God.

45But when the Jews saw such a great number of people, they were full of envy and said evil words against Paul's preaching.

45But when the Jews saw the multitudes, they were filled with envy, and spake against those things which were spoken by Paul, contradicting and blaspheming.

45But the Jews, seeing the crowds, were filled with envy, and contradicted the things said by Paul, [contradicting and] speaking injuriously.

45But when the Jews saw the multitudes, they were filled with jealousy, and contradicted the things which were spoken by Paul, and blasphemed.

46Then Paul and Barnabas without fear said, It was necessary for the word of God to be given to you first; but because you will have nothing to do with it, and have no desire for eternal life, it will now be offered to the Gentiles.

46Then Paul and Barnabas waxed bold, and said, It was necessary that the word of God should first have been spoken to you: but seeing ye put it from you, and judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting life, lo, we turn to the Gentiles.

46And Paul and Barnabas spoke boldly and said, It was necessary that the word ofGod should be first spoken to you; but, since ye thrust it from you, and judge yourselves unworthy of eternal life, lo, we turn to the nations;

46And 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.

47For so the Lord has given us orders, saying, I have given you for a light to the Gentiles so that you may be for salvation to the ends of the earth.

47For so hath the Lord commanded us, saying, I have set thee to be a light of the Gentiles, that thou shouldest be for salvation unto the ends of the earth.

47for thus has the Lord enjoined us: I have set thee for a light of the nations, that thou shouldest be for salvation to the end of the earth.

47For 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.

48And the Gentiles, hearing this, were glad and gave glory to the word of God: and those marked out by God for eternal life had faith.

48And when the Gentiles heard this, they were glad, and glorified the word of the Lord: and as many as were ordained to eternal life believed.

48And [those of] the nations, hearing it, rejoiced, and glorified the word of the Lord, and believed, as many as were ordained to eternal life.

48And as the Gentiles heard this, they were glad, and glorified the word of God: and as many as were ordained to eternal life believed.

49And the word of the Lord went through all the country.

49And the word of the Lord was published throughout all the region.

49And the word of the Lord was carried through the whole country.

49And the word of the Lord was spread abroad throughout all the region.

50But the Jews, working up the feelings of the God-fearing women of high position and of the chief men of the town, got an attack started against Paul and Barnabas, driving them out of those parts.

50But the Jews stirred up the devout and honourable women, and the chief men of the city, and raised persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and expelled them out of their coasts.

50But the Jews excited the women of the upper classes who were worshippers, and the first people of the city, and raised a persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and cast them out of their coasts.

50But 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.

51But they, shaking off the dust of that place from their feet, came to Iconium.

51But they shook off the dust of their feet against them, and came unto Iconium.

51But they, having shaken off the dust of their feet against them, came to Iconium.

51But they shook off the dust of their feet against them, and came unto Iconium.

52And the disciples were full of joy and of the Holy Spirit.

52And the disciples were filled with joy, and with the Holy Ghost.

52And the disciples were filled with joy and [the] Holy Spirit.

52And the disciples were filled with joy and with the Holy Spirit.
