Acts 13:47 in Context — Acts 13

45 Les Juifs, voyant la foule, furent remplis de jalousie, et ils s’opposaient à ce que disait Paul, en le contredisant et en l’injuriant.

46 Paul et Barnabas leur dirent avec assurance: C’est à vous premièrement que la parole de Dieu devait être annoncée; mais, puisque vous la repoussez, et que vous vous jugez vous-mêmes indignes de la vie éternelle, voici, nous nous tournons vers les païens.

47 Car ainsi nous l’a ordonné le Seigneur: Je t’ai établi pour être la lumière des nations, Pour porter le salut jusqu’aux extrémités de la terre.

48 Les païens se réjouissaient en entendant cela, ils glorifiaient la parole du Seigneur, et tous ceux qui étaient destinés à la vie éternelle crurent.

49 La parole du Seigneur se répandait dans tout le pays.
