Acts 13:46 in Context — Acts 13

44 E no sábado seguinte ajuntou-se quase toda a cidade para ouvir a palavra de Deus.

45 Mas os Judeus, ao verem as multidões, ficaram cheios de inveja, e falavam contrariamente ao que Paulo dizia, falando contrariamente e blasfemando.

46 Mas Paulo e Barnabé, usando de ousadia, disseram: Era necessário que a palavra de Deus fosse primeiro falada a vós; mas já que a rejeitais, e não vos julgais dignos da vida eterna, eis que nós nos viramos [em direção] aos gentios.

47 Porque assim o Senhor nos mandou, [dizendo] : Eu te pus como luz para os gentios, para que tu sejas como salvação até às extremidades da terra.

48 E os gentios, tendo ouvido [isto] ,alegraram-se, e glorificavam ao Senhor; e creram todos quantos estavam determinados para a vida eterna.
