1In the Antioch crew, there were some prophets and teachers, like Barnabas, Simeon (they called him Niger), Lucius from Cyrene, and Manaen who grew up with Herod, plus Saul.

2While they were vibing and fasting, the Holy Ghost was like, "Yo, separate Barnabas and Saul for the mission I got for them."

3After they fasted and prayed, they laid hands on them and sent them off, periodt.

4So, sent by the Holy Ghost, they dipped to Seleucia, and then sailed to Cyprus.

5When they hit Salamis, they preached God's word in the Jewish synagogues, and John was there to help them out.

6Once they cruised through the isle to Paphos, they found this sorcerer, a false prophet Jew named Bar-Jesus, sus vibes.

7He was chilling with the local deputy, Sergius Paulus, a smart dude; he called for Barnabas and Saul, wanting to hear God's word, no cap.

8But Elymas the sorcerer (that's his name, fr) was trying to block them, aiming to steer the deputy away from the faith.

9Then Saul (who's also called Paul), filled with the Holy Ghost, locked eyes on him, rizz on point.

10He was like, "Yo, you're all about that sneaky, shady life, child of the devil, enemy of righteousness, are you gonna stop twisting the Lord's ways?"

11Yo, check it, the Lord’s hand is on you, and you’re gonna be blind, can’t see the sun for a minute. Then a fog and darkness hit, and dude was just out here lookin’ for someone to guide him.

12The deputy peeped what went down and was shook, he believed, vibin’ with the Lord’s teachings.

13So Paul and the crew dipped from Paphos and rolled up to Perga in Pamphylia, but John was like, “Nah,” and bounced back to Jerusalem.

14When they left Perga, they hit up Antioch in Pisidia, pulled up to the synagogue on the Sabbath, and just chilled.

15After they read the law and prophets, the peeps in charge slid over and said, “Yo, if you got any hype for the crowd, spill it.”

16Then Paul stood up, waved his hand, and was like, “Ayo, Israel fam, and all you who fear God, listen up.”

17The God of Israel picked our ancestors and lifted them up when they were just chilling in Egypt, flexed hard and got them outta there.

18For like forty years, He dealt with their vibes in the wilderness.

19Then He wiped out seven nations in Canaan and split their land up for them by chance.

20After that, He hooked them up with judges for about four hundred and fifty years, until Samuel the prophet showed up.

21After that, they were like, "We need a king," so God was like, "Bet, here’s Saul from Benjamin for 40 years."

22When he was done with Saul, God was like, "David’s next," and said, "I found my guy, he’s a man after my own heart, gonna do my will, fr."

23From this dude’s fam, God kept it real and brought a Savior for Israel, Jesus.

24John was out here preaching about the baptism of repentance before Jesus showed up, telling all the peeps in Israel.

25As John finished his gig, he was like, "Who do you think I am? Not the one, but there’s someone coming after me whose kicks I ain't even worthy to tie."

26Yo, fam and friends, children of Abraham, anyone who fears God, this salvation is for you, no cap.

27The folks in Jerusalem and their leaders didn’t even recognize him or the prophets’ vibes that get read every Sabbath, so they ended up condemning him.

28Even though they found no reason to kill him, they still asked Pilate to take him out.

29When they did everything written about him, they took him down from the tree and laid him in a tomb, periodt.

30But God was like, "Nah," and raised him from the dead.

31He was seen for a grip by those who rolled with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, and they're the witnesses to the squad.

32We’re dropping some good news, fam, about the promise made to the OGs.

33God came through for us, their kids, by raising Jesus up again; like it says in the second psalm, "You’re my Son, today I got you."

34And about him rising from the dead, no cap, he said, "I’ll hook you up with the real blessings of David."

35He also said in another psalm, "You won’t let your Holy One see decay."

36David, after doing his thing for his crew by God's plan, took a nap and joined his fam, and yeah, he saw decay.

37But the one God raised up? No decay for him, fr.

38So listen up, fam, through this dude, we’re preaching that sins can be forgiven.

39And through him, all who believe are cleared of everything, stuff the law of Moses couldn’t fix.

40So watch out, or you might catch what the prophets warned about.

41Yo, listen up, haters! You gonna be shook and fade away 'cause I'm doing some wild stuff in your time, and you ain't gonna believe it, even if someone spills the tea.

42After the Jews bounced from the synagogue, the Gentiles were like, "Yo, can we get this message preached to us next Sabbath?"

43When the crew split up, a bunch of Jews and new followers rolled with Paul and Barnabas, and they were vibing, convincing them to keep riding the grace wave of God.

44The next Sabbath, the whole city pulled up to hear the word of God. Major vibes.

45But when the Jews peeped the crowd, they got mad jelly and started hating on what Paul was saying, straight up contradicting and throwing shade.

46Then Paul and Barnabas got bold and said, "We had to drop the word of God to you first, but since you sleep on it and think you're not worthy of eternal life, we’re turning to the Gentiles."

47For real, the Lord told us, "I made you a light for the Gentiles, so you can bring salvation to the ends of the earth."

48When the Gentiles caught wind of this, they were hyped and praised the word of the Lord, and all the ones destined for eternal life were like, "Bet, we believe."

49And the word of the Lord spread all over the place.

50But the Jews stirred up the classy ladies and the top dogs in the city, causing drama against Paul and Barnabas, and kicked them out of their hood.

51They dusted off their kicks and bounced to Iconium.

52The crew was vibin' with joy and the Holy Ghost, for real.

1Now there were in the church that was at Antioch certain prophets and teachers; as Barnabas, and Simeon that was called Niger, and Lucius of Cyrene, and Manaen, which had been brought up with Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.

2As they ministered to the Lord, and fasted, the Holy Ghost said, Separate me Barnabas and Saul for the work whereunto I have called them.

3And when they had fasted and prayed, and laid their hands on them, they sent them away.

4So they, being sent forth by the Holy Ghost, departed unto Seleucia; and from thence they sailed to Cyprus.

5And when they were at Salamis, they preached the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews: and they had also John to their minister.

6And when they had gone through the isle unto Paphos, they found a certain sorcerer, a false prophet, a Jew, whose name was Bar–jesus:

7Which was with the deputy of the country, Sergius Paulus, a prudent man; who called for Barnabas and Saul, and desired to hear the word of God.

8But Elymas the sorcerer (for so is his name by interpretation) withstood them, seeking to turn away the deputy from the faith.

9Then Saul, (who also is called Paul,) filled with the Holy Ghost, set his eyes on him,

10And said, O full of all subtilty and all mischief, thou child of the devil, thou enemy of all righteousness, wilt thou not cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord?

11And now, behold, the hand of the Lord is upon thee, and thou shalt be blind, not seeing the sun for a season. And immediately there fell on him a mist and a darkness; and he went about seeking some to lead him by the hand.

12Then the deputy, when he saw what was done, believed, being astonished at the doctrine of the Lord.

13Now when Paul and his company loosed from Paphos, they came to Perga in Pamphylia: and John departing from them returned to Jerusalem.

14But when they departed from Perga, they came to Antioch in Pisidia, and went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and sat down.

15And after the reading of the law and the prophets the rulers of the synagogue sent unto them, saying, Ye men and brethren, if ye have any word of exhortation for the people, say on.

16Then Paul stood up, and beckoning with his hand said, Men of Israel, and ye that fear God, give audience.

17The God of this people of Israel chose our fathers, and exalted the people when they dwelt as strangers in the land of Egypt, and with an high arm brought he them out of it.

18And about the time of forty years suffered he their manners in the wilderness.

19And when he had destroyed seven nations in the land of Chanaan, he divided their land to them by lot.

20And after that he gave unto them judges about the space of four hundred and fifty years, until Samuel the prophet.

21And afterward they desired a king: and God gave unto them Saul the son of Cis, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, by the space of forty years.

22And when he had removed him, he raised up unto them David to be their king; to whom also he gave testimony, and said, I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after mine own heart, which shall fulfil all my will.

23Of this man’s seed hath God according to his promise raised unto Israel a Saviour, Jesus:

24When John had first preached before his coming the baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel.

25And as John fulfilled his course, he said, Whom think ye that I am? I am not he. But, behold, there cometh one after me, whose shoes of his feet I am not worthy to loose.

26Men and brethren, children of the stock of Abraham, and whosoever among you feareth God, to you is the word of this salvation sent.

27For they that dwell at Jerusalem, and their rulers, because they knew him not, nor yet the voices of the prophets which are read every sabbath day, they have fulfilled them in condemning him.

28And though they found no cause of death in him, yet desired they Pilate that he should be slain.

29And when they had fulfilled all that was written of him, they took him down from the tree, and laid him in a sepulchre.

30But God raised him from the dead:

31And he was seen many days of them which came up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are his witnesses unto the people.

32And we declare unto you glad tidings, how that the promise which was made unto the fathers,

33God hath fulfilled the same unto us their children, in that he hath raised up Jesus again; as it is also written in the second psalm, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee.

34And as concerning that he raised him up from the dead, now no more to return to corruption, he said on this wise, I will give you the sure mercies of David.

35Wherefore he saith also in another psalm, Thou shalt not suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.

36For David, after he had served his own generation by the will of God, fell on sleep, and was laid unto his fathers, and saw corruption:

37But he, whom God raised again, saw no corruption.

38Be it known unto you therefore, men and brethren, that through this man is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins:

39And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses.

40Beware therefore, lest that come upon you, which is spoken of in the prophets;

41Behold, ye despisers, and wonder, and perish: for I work a work in your days, a work which ye shall in no wise believe, though a man declare it unto you.

42And when the Jews were gone out of the synagogue, the Gentiles besought that these words might be preached to them the next sabbath.

43Now when the congregation was broken up, many of the Jews and religious proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas: who, speaking to them, persuaded them to continue in the grace of God.

44And the next sabbath day came almost the whole city together to hear the word of God.

45But when the Jews saw the multitudes, they were filled with envy, and spake against those things which were spoken by Paul, contradicting and blaspheming.

46Then Paul and Barnabas waxed bold, and said, It was necessary that the word of God should first have been spoken to you: but seeing ye put it from you, and judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting life, lo, we turn to the Gentiles.

47For so hath the Lord commanded us, saying, I have set thee to be a light of the Gentiles, that thou shouldest be for salvation unto the ends of the earth.

48And when the Gentiles heard this, they were glad, and glorified the word of the Lord: and as many as were ordained to eternal life believed.

49And the word of the Lord was published throughout all the region.

50But the Jews stirred up the devout and honourable women, and the chief men of the city, and raised persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and expelled them out of their coasts.

51But they shook off the dust of their feet against them, and came unto Iconium.

52And the disciples were filled with joy, and with the Holy Ghost.
