Acts 13:45

Paul Turns To The Gentiles

⁴⁴ On the next Sabbath almost the entire city gathered together to hear the word of the Lord [about salvation through faith in Christ]. ⁴⁵ But when the Jews saw the crowds, they were filled with jealousy and began contradicting the things said by Paul, and were slandering him. ⁴⁶ And [at the same time] Paul and Barnabas spoke out boldly and confidently, saying, “It was necessary that God’s message [of salvation through faith in Christ] be spoken to you [Jews] first. Since you repudiate it and judge yourselves unworthy of eternal life, now we turn to the Gentiles.
