In context
44 Sabato iliyofuata, karibu mji mzima ulikusanyika kusikia neno la Mungu.
45 Wayahudi walipoona makutano, walijawa na wivu na kuongea maneno yaliyopinga vitu vilivyosemwa na Paulo na walimtukana.
46 Lakini Paulo na Barnaba waliongea kwa ujasiri na kusema, “Ilikuwa ni muhimu kwamba neno la Mungu liongelewe kwanza kwenu. Kwa kuwa mnalisukumia mbali kutoka kwenu nakujiona kuwa hamkusitahili uzima wa milele, angalieni tutawageukia Mataifa.
47 Kama ambavyo Bwana ametuamuru, akisema, 'Nimewaweka ninyi kama nuru kwa watu wa mataifa, kwamba mlete wokovu kwa pande zote za dunia.”
48 Mataifa waliposikia hili, walifurahi na kulisifu neno la Bwana. Wengi waliochaguliwa kwa uzima wa milele waliamini.
49 Neno la Bwana lilienea nchi yote.
50 Lakini wayahudi waliwasihi waliojitoa na wanawake muhimu, pia na viongozi wa mji. Haya yalichochea mateso dhidi ya Paulo na Barnaba na waliwatupa nje ya mipaka ya mji.
