012:021 On an appointed day, Herod dressed himself in royal clothing,
sat on the throne, and gave a speech to them.
012:022 The people shouted, "The voice of a god, and not of a man!"
012:023 Immediately an angel of the Lord struck him, because he didn't
give God the glory, and he was eaten by worms and died.
012:024 But the word of God grew and multiplied.
012:025 Barnabas and Saul returned to{TR reads "from" instead of
"to"} Jerusalem, when they had fulfilled their service,
also taking with them John whose surname was Mark.
013:001 Now in the assembly that was at Antioch there were some
prophets and teachers: Barnabas, Simeon who was called
Niger, Lucius of Cyrene, Manaen the foster brother of Herod
the tetrarch, and Saul.
013:002 As they served the Lord and fasted, the Holy Spirit said,
"Separate Barnabas and Saul for me, for the work to which I
have called them."
013:003 Then, when they had fasted and prayed and laid their hands
on them, they sent them away.
013:004 So, being sent out by the Holy Spirit, they went down to Seleucia.
From there they sailed to Cyprus.
013:005 When they were at Salamis, they proclaimed the word of God in
the Jewish synagogues. They had also John as their attendant.
013:006 When they had gone through the island to Paphos, they found
a certain sorcerer, a false prophet, a Jew, whose name
was Bar Jesus,
013:007 who was with the proconsul, Sergius Paulus, a man of understanding.
This man summoned Barnabas and Saul, and sought to hear
the word of God.
013:008 But Elymas the sorcerer (for so is his name by interpretation)
withstood them, seeking to turn aside the proconsul
from the faith.
013:009 But Saul, who is also called Paul, filled with the Holy Spirit,
fastened his eyes on him,
013:010 and said, "Full of all deceit and all cunning, you son of the devil,
you enemy of all righteousness, will you not cease to pervert
the right ways of the Lord?
013:011 Now, behold, the hand of the Lord is on you, and you
will be blind, not seeing the sun for a season!"
Immediately a mist and darkness fell on him. He went around
seeking someone to lead him by the hand.
013:012 Then the proconsul, when he saw what was done, believed,
being astonished at the teaching of the Lord.
013:013 Now Paul and his company set sail from Paphos, and came to Perga
in Pamphylia. John departed from them and returned to Jerusalem.
013:014 But they, passing on from Perga, came to Antioch of Pisidia.
They went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day, and sat down.
013:015 After the reading of the law and the prophets, the rulers
of the synagogue sent to them, saying, "Brothers, if you
have any word of exhortation for the people, speak."
013:016 Paul stood up, and beckoning with his hand said, "Men of Israel,
