47 This is what the Lord commanded us: I have made you a light for the Gentiles, so that you could bring salvation to the end of the earth."
48 When the Gentiles heard this, they rejoiced and honored the Lord’s word. Everyone who was appointed for eternal life believed,
49 and the Lord’s word was broadcast throughout the entire region.
50 However, the Jews provoked the prominent women among the Gentile God-worshippers, as well as the city’s leaders. They instigated others to harass Paul and Barnabas, and threw them out of their district.
51 Paul and Barnabas shook the dust from their feet and went to Iconium.
52 Because of the abundant presence of the Holy Spirit in their lives, the disciples were overflowing with happiness.
