And the next Sabbath day came almost the whole citie together to heare the word of God.

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

Then Paul and Barnabas waxed bold, and said, It was necessary that the word of God should first haue bene spoken to you: but seeing yee put it from you, and iudge your selues vnworthy of euerlasting life, loe, we turne to the Gentiles.

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

But they shooke off the dust of their feete against them, and came vnto Iconium.

And the disciples were filled with ioy, and with the holy Ghost.
