Now there were in the church at Antiokia prophets and teachers: Barnaba, and Shimon who is called Niger, and Luqius who was from the city Qurina, and Manael, a son of the foster-brothers of Herodes the tetrarch, and Shaul.

And while they were fasting and making supplication to Elohim, Ruach haKodesh said to them: Separate to me Shaul and Barnaba for the work to which I have called them.

And after they had fasted and prayed, they laid the hand on them and sent them away.

And they, being sent forth by Ruach haKodesh, went down to Seluqia, and from there they went by sea as far as Qupros.

And when they entered the city of Salmina, they were announcing the word of our Master in the synagogues of the Yehudaye. And Yochanan was ministering to them.

And when they had gone around the whole island as far as the city Paphos, they found a certain man, a sorcerer, a Yehudi who was a false prophet, and whose name was Bar-Shuma.

This one was attached to a wise man who was the proconsul and was called Sergius Paulos. And the proconsul called for Shaul and Bar-Naba and sought to hear from them the word of Elohim.

But this sorcerer Bar-Shuma, whose name is translated Elymas, stood against them, because he wanted to turn the proconsul aside from the faith.

But Shaul, he who was called Paulos, was filled with the Ruach haKodesh and looked at him

and said, O full of all deceit and all evil, son of the slanderer and enemy of all righteousness, will you not cease to pervert the straight ways of Master YHWH?

And now the hand of Master YHWH is upon you, and you will be blind and will not see the sun for a time. And at that moment a mist and darkness fell on him, and he went about seeking who would take him by the hand.

And when the proconsul saw what had happened, he was amazed and believed in the teaching of Master YHWH.

But Paulos and Barnaba went by sea from the city of Paphos and came to Perga, a city of Pamphylia. And Yochanan separated from them and went away to Urishlim.

But they went out from Perga and came to Antioch, a city of Pisidia, and entered the synagogue and sat down on the day of the Sabbath.

And after the law and the prophets were read, the elders of the synagogue sent to them and said, Men, brothers, if you have a word of encouragement, speak with the people.

And Paulos stood up and waved his hand and said, Men, sons of Yisrael, and those who fear Elohim, hear.

The Elohim of this people chose our fathers and raised them up and made them great when they were sojourners in the land of Egypt, and with a high arm he brought them out of it.

And he fed them in the wilderness forty years.

And he destroyed seven nations in the land of Kenaan, and gave them their land for an inheritance.

And four hundred and fifty years he gave them judges, until Shmuel the prophet.

And then they asked for themselves a king, and Elohim gave them Shaul son of Qish, a man from the tribe of Benyamin, for forty years.

And he took him away and raised up for them Dawid as king, and he testified about him and said, I have found Dawid son of Aishi, a man like my heart; he will do all my will.

From the seed of this one Elohim raised up for Yisrael, as he promised, Y'shua the Life-Giver.

And he sent Yochanan to proclaim before his coming the immersion of repentance to all the people of Yisrael.

And while Yochanan was completing his ministry, he said: Who do you suppose that I am? I am not he. But he comes after me, the one whose sandal straps I am not worthy to loosen.

Men, brothers, sons of the family of Avraham, and those who fear Elohim with you, to you the word of life has been sent.

For these inhabitants of Urishlim and their leaders did not understand him, nor the writings of the prophets that are read every sabbath; but they condemned him and fulfilled these things that are written.

And when they found no cause of death, they asked of Pilatos that they might kill him.

And when they had completed everything that was written concerning him, they took him down from the cross and laid him in a tomb.

But Elohim raised him from the house of the dead.

And he was seen many days by those who came up with him from Galila to Urishlim, and they are now his witnesses to the people.

And we also announce to you that the promise which was made to our fathers,

Elohim has fulfilled it to us their children, in that he raised up Y'shua; as it is written in the second psalm: You are my Son; this day I have begotten you.

And thus Elohim raised him from the house of the dead, that he will not return again and see corruption; as he said: I will give to you the sure grace of Dawid.

And again he said in another place: You have not given your devout one to see corruption.

For Dawid, in his generation, served the will of Elohim, and went to rest, and was added to his fathers, and saw corruption.

But this one, whom Elohim raised up, did not see corruption.

Know therefore, my brothers, that through this one forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you.

And from all that you were not able to be justified by the law of Moshe, in this one everyone who believes is justified.

Take heed therefore, lest there come upon you something that is written in the prophets:

See, you despisers, and wonder, and perish; for I do a work in your days, which you will not believe even if a man tells it to you.

And when they were going out from their presence, they begged them that on the next shabbat they would speak these words with them.

And when the synagogue was dismissed, many Jews went after them, and also converts who feared Elohim. And they were speaking and persuading them to remain attached to the grace of Elohim.

And on the next Sabbath the whole city assembled to hear the word of Elohim.

And when the Jews saw the great assembly, they were filled with envy, and were standing against the words that Paulos was saying, and were blaspheming.

But Paulos and Bar-Naba said openly: To you first it was that the word of Elohim should be spoken; but because you reject it from yourselves, and have decided against yourselves that you are not worthy of life forever, look, we turn to the peoples.

For so our Master commanded us, as it is written: I have set you a light to the peoples, that you should be for life to the ends of the earth.

And when the peoples heard this, they rejoiced and glorified Elohim. And those believed who were appointed to life forever.

And the word of Master YHWH was spoken in all that region.

But the Jews stirred up the chiefs of the city and the rich women who feared Elohim with them, and raised a persecution against Paulos and against Barnaba, and expelled them from their borders.

And when they went out, they shook off the dust of their feet against them, and came to the city of Iconium.

And the disciples were filled with joy and with the Ruach haKodesh.
