Professor Horner’s Reading Plan

Read through the Bible in one year by reading 10 chapters a day from 10 different sections of the Bible using the Professor Grant Horner Bible reading plan.

Today, we are reading Luke 20; Numbers 36; Hebrews 10; James 1; Job 29; Psalms 3; Proverbs 29; 1 Chronicles 2; Ezekiel 30; Acts 13.

Luke 20

1	And it came to pass, that on one of those days, as he taught the people in the temple, and preached the gospel, the chief priests and the scribes came upon him with the elders,
2	And spake unto him, saying, Tell us, by what authority doest thou these things? or who is he that gave thee this authority?
3	And he answered and said unto them, I will also ask you one thing; and answer me:
4	The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or of men?
5	And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say, Why then believed ye him not?
6	But and if we say, Of men; all the people will stone us: for they be persuaded that John was a prophet.
7	And they answered, that they could not tell whence it was.
8	And Jesus said unto them, Neither tell I you by what authority I do these things.
9	Then began he to speak to the people this parable; A certain man planted a vineyard, and let it forth to husbandmen, and went into a far country for a long time.
10	And at the season he sent a servant to the husbandmen, that they should give him of the fruit of the vineyard: but the husbandmen beat him, and sent him away empty.
11	And again he sent another servant: and they beat him also, and entreated him shamefully, and sent him away empty.
12	And again he sent a third: and they wounded him also, and cast him out.
13	Then said the lord of the vineyard, What shall I do? I will send my beloved son: it may be they will reverence him when they see him.
14	But when the husbandmen saw him, they reasoned among themselves, saying, This is the heir: come, let us kill him, that the inheritance may be ours.
15	So they cast him out of the vineyard, and killed him. What therefore shall the lord of the vineyard do unto them?
16	He shall come and destroy these husbandmen, and shall give the vineyard to others. And when they heard it, they said, God forbid.
17	And he beheld them, and said, What is this then that is written, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner?
18	Whosoever shall fall upon that stone shall be broken; but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.
19	And the chief priests and the scribes the same hour sought to lay hands on him; and they feared the people: for they perceived that he had spoken this parable against them.
20	And they watched him, and sent forth spies, which should feign themselves just men, that they might take hold of his words, that so they might deliver him unto the power and authority of the governor.
21	And they asked him, saying, Master, we know that thou sayest and teachest rightly, neither acceptest thou the person of any, but teachest the way of God truly:
22	Is it lawful for us to give tribute unto Caesar, or no?
23	But he perceived their craftiness, and said unto them, Why tempt ye me?
24	Show me a penny. Whose image and superscription hath it? They answered and said, Caesar's.
25	And he said unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things which be Caesar's and unto God the things which be God's.
26	And they could not take hold of his words before the people: and they marveled at his answer, and held their peace.
27	Then came to him certain of the Sadducees, which deny that there is any resurrection: and they asked him,
28	saying, Master, Moses wrote unto us, If any man's brother die, having a wife, and he die without children, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.
29	There were therefore seven brethren: and the first took a wife, and died without children.
30	And the second took her to wife, and he died childless.
31	And the third took her; and in like manner the seven also: and they left no children, and died.
32	Last of all the woman died also.
33	Therefore in the resurrection whose wife of them is she? for seven had her to wife.
34	And Jesus answering said unto them, The children of this world marry, and are given in marriage:
35	But they which shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage:
36	Neither can they die any more: for they are equal unto the angels; and are the children of God, being the children of the resurrection.
37	Now that the dead are raised, even Moses showed at the bush, when he calleth the Lord the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.
38	For he is not a God of the dead, but of the living: for all live unto him.
39	Then certain of the scribes answering said, Master, thou hast well said.
40	And after that they durst not ask him any question at all.
41	And he said unto them, How say they that Christ is David's son?
42	And David himself saith in the book of Psalms, The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand,
43	Till I make thine enemies thy footstool.
44	David therefore calleth him Lord, how is he then his son?
45	Then in the audience of all the people he said unto his disciples,
46	Beware of the scribes, which desire to walk in long robes, and love greetings in the markets, and the highest seats in the synagogues, and the chief rooms at feasts;
47	Which devour widows' houses, and for a show make long prayers: the same shall receive greater damnation.

Numbers 36

1	And the chief fathers of the families of the children of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, of the families of the sons of Joseph, came near, and spoke before Moses, and before the princes, the chief fathers of the children of Israel:
2	And they said, The LORD commanded my lord to give the land for an inheritance by lot to the children of Israel: and my lord was commanded by the LORD to give the inheritance of Zelophehad our brother unto his daughters.
3	And if they be married to any of the sons of the other tribes of the children of Israel, then shall their inheritance be taken from the inheritance of our fathers, and shall be put to the inheritance of the tribe whereunto they are received: so shall it be taken from the lot of our inheritance.
4	And when the jubilee of the children of Israel shall be, then shall their inheritance be put unto the inheritance of the tribe whereunto they are received: so shall their inheritance be taken away from the inheritance of the tribe of our fathers.
5	And Moses commanded the children of Israel according to the word of the LORD, saying, The tribe of the sons of Joseph hath said well.
6	This is the thing which the LORD doth command concerning the daughters of Zelophehad, saying, Let them marry to whom they think best; only to the family of the tribe of their father shall they marry.
7	So shall not the inheritance of the children of Israel remove from tribe to tribe: for every one of the children of Israel shall keep himself to the inheritance of the tribe of his fathers.
8	And every daughter, that possesseth an inheritance in any tribe of the children of Israel, shall be wife unto one of the family of the tribe of her father, that the children of Israel may enjoy every man the inheritance of his fathers.
9	Neither shall the inheritance remove from one tribe to another tribe; but every one of the tribes of the children of Israel shall keep himself to his own inheritance.
10	Even as the LORD commanded Moses, so did the daughters of Zelophehad:
11	For Mahlah, Tirzah, and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Noah, the daughters of Zelophehad, were married unto their father's brothers' sons:
12	And they were married into the families of the sons of Manasseh the son of Joseph, and their inheritance remained in the tribe of the family of their father.
13	These are the commandments and the judgments, which the LORD commanded by the hand of Moses unto the children of Israel in the plains of Moab by Jordan near Jericho.

Hebrews 10

1	For the law having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect.
2	For then would they not have ceased to be offered? because that the worshipers once purged should have had no more conscience of sins.
3	But in those sacrifices there is a remembrance again made of sins every year.
4	For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins.
5	Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me:
6	In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin thou hast had no pleasure.
7	Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do thy will, O God.
8	Above when he said, Sacrifice and offering and burnt offerings and offering for sin thou wouldest not, neither hadst pleasure therein; which are offered by the law;
9	Then said he, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. He taketh away the first, that he may establish the second.
10	By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.
11	And every priest standeth daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins:
12	But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down on the right hand of God;
13	From henceforth expecting till his enemies be made his footstool.
14	For by one offering he hath perfected forever them that are sanctified.
15	Whereof the Holy Ghost also is a witness to us: for after that he had said before,
16	This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them;
17	And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more.
18	Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin.
19	Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus,
20	By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh;
21	And having a high priest over the house of God;
22	Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water.
23	Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;)
24	And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works:
25	Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.
26	For if we sin willfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,
27	But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.
28	He that despised Moses' law died without mercy under two or three witnesses:
29	Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace?
30	For we know him that hath said, Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will recompense, saith the Lord. And again, The Lord shall judge his people.
31	It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
32	But call to remembrance the former days, in which, after ye were illuminated, ye endured a great fight of afflictions;
33	Partly, whilst ye were made a gazingstock both by reproaches and afflictions; and partly, whilst ye became companions of them that were so used.
34	For ye had compassion of me in my bonds, and took joyfully the spoiling of your goods, knowing in yourselves that ye have in heaven a better and an enduring substance.
35	Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompense of reward.
36	For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise.
37	For yet, a little while, and he that shall come will come, and will not tarry.
38	Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him.
39	But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul.

James 1

1	James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad, greeting.
2	My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations;
3	Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience.
4	But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.
5	If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.
6	But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.
7	For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord.
8	A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.
9	Let the brother of low degree rejoice in that he is exalted:
10	But the rich, in that he is made low: because as the flower of the grass he shall pass away.
11	For the sun is no sooner risen with a burning heat, but it withereth the grass, and the flower thereof falleth, and the grace of the fashion of it perisheth: so also shall the rich man fade away in his ways.
12	Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him.
13	Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man:
14	But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed.
15	Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.
16	Do not err, my beloved brethren.
17	Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.
18	Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.
19	Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:
20	For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God.
21	Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls.
22	But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.
23	For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass:
24	For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was.
25	But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.
26	If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man's religion is vain.
27	Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.

Job 29

1	Moreover Job continued his parable, and said,
2	Oh that I were as in months past, as in the days when God preserved me;
3	When his candle shined upon my head, and when by his light I walked through darkness;
4	As I was in the days of my youth, when the secret of God was upon my tabernacle;
5	When the Almighty was yet with me, when my children were about me;
6	When I washed my steps with butter, and the rock poured me out rivers of oil;
7	When I went out to the gate through the city, when I prepared my seat in the street!
8	The young men saw me, and hid themselves: and the aged arose, and stood up.
9	The princes refrained talking, and laid their hand on their mouth.
10	The nobles held their peace, and their tongue cleaved to the roof of their mouth.
11	When the ear heard me, then it blessed me; and when the eye saw me, it gave witness to me:
12	Because I delivered the poor that cried, and the fatherless, and him that had none to help him.
13	The blessing of him that was ready to perish came upon me: and I caused the widow's heart to sing for joy.
14	I put on righteousness, and it clothed me: my judgment was as a robe and a diadem.
15	I was eyes to the blind, and feet was I to the lame.
16	I was a father to the poor: and the cause which I knew not I searched out.
17	And I broke the jaws of the wicked, and plucked the spoil out of his teeth.
18	Then I said, I shall die in my nest, and I shall multiply my days as the sand.
19	My root was spread out by the waters, and the dew lay all night upon my branch.
20	My glory was fresh in me, and my bow was renewed in my hand.
21	Unto me men gave ear, and waited, and kept silence at my counsel.
22	After my words they spoke not again and my speech dropped upon them.
23	And they waited for me as for the rain; and they opened their mouth wide as for the latter rain.
24	If I laughed on them, they believed it not; and the light of my countenance they cast not down.
25	I chose out their way, and sat chief, and dwelt as a king in the army, as one that comforteth the mourners.

Psalms 3

1	A Psalm of David, when he fled from Absalom his son. LORD, how are they increased that trouble me! many are they that rise up against me.
2	Many there be which say of my soul, There is no help for him in God. Selah.
3	But thou, O LORD, art a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of mine head.
4	I cried unto the LORD with my voice, and he heard me out of his holy hill. Selah.
5	I laid me down and slept; I awaked; for the LORD sustained me.
6	I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people, that have set themselves against me round about.
7	Arise, O LORD; save me, O my God: for thou hast smitten all mine enemies upon the cheek bone; thou hast broken the teeth of the ungodly.
8	Salvation belongeth unto the LORD: thy blessing is upon thy people. Selah.

Proverbs 29

1	He, that being often reproved hardeneth his neck, shall suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy.
2	When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn.
3	Whoso loveth wisdom rejoiceth his father: but he that keepeth company with harlots spendeth his substance.
4	The king by judgment establisheth the land: but he that receiveth gifts overthroweth it.
5	A man that flattereth his neighbor spreadeth a net for his feet.
6	In the transgression of an evil man there is a snare: but the righteous doth sing and rejoice.
7	The righteous considereth the cause of the poor: but the wicked regardeth not to know it.
8	Scornful men bring a city into a snare: but wise men turn away wrath.
9	If a wise man contendeth with a foolish man, whether he rage or laugh, there is no rest.
10	The bloodthirsty hate the upright: but the just seek his soul.
11	A fool uttereth all his mind: but a wise man keepeth it in till afterwards.
12	If a ruler hearken to lies, all his servants are wicked.
13	The poor and the deceitful man meet together: the LORD lighteneth both their eyes.
14	The king that faithfully judgeth the poor, his throne shall be established forever.
15	The rod and reproof give wisdom: but a child left to himself bringeth his mother to shame.
16	When the wicked are multiplied, transgression increaseth: but the righteous shall see their fall.
17	Correct thy son, and he shall give thee rest; yea, he shall give delight unto thy soul.
18	Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he.
19	A servant will not be corrected by words: for though he understand he will not answer.
20	Seest thou a man that is hasty in his words? there is more hope of a fool than of him.
21	He that delicately bringeth up his servant from a child shall have him become his son at the length.
22	An angry man stirreth up strife, and a furious man aboundeth in transgression.
23	A man's pride shall bring him low: but honor shall uphold the humble in spirit.
24	Whoso is partner with a thief hateth his own soul: he heareth cursing, and betrayeth it not.
25	The fear of man bringeth a snare: but whoso putteth his trust in the LORD shall be safe.
26	Many seek the ruler's favor; but every man's judgment cometh from the LORD.
27	An unjust man is an abomination to the just: and he that is upright in the way is abomination to the wicked.

Ezekiel 30

1	The word of the LORD came again unto me, saying,
2	Son of man, prophesy and say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Howl ye, Woe worth the day!
3	For the day is near, even the day of the LORD is near, a cloudy day; it shall be the time of the heathen.
4	And the sword shall come upon Egypt, and great pain shall be in Ethiopia, when the slain shall fall in Egypt, and they shall take away her multitude, and her foundations shall be broken down.
5	Ethiopia, and Libya, and Lydia, and all the mingled people, and Chub, and the men of the land that is in league, shall fall with them by the sword.
6	Thus saith the LORD; They also that uphold Egypt shall fall; and the pride of her power shall come down: from the tower of Syene shall they fall in it by the sword, saith the Lord GOD.
7	And they shall be desolate in the midst of the countries that are desolate, and her cities shall be in the midst of the cities that are wasted.
8	And they shall know that I am the LORD, when I have set a fire in Egypt, and when all her helpers shall be destroyed.
9	In that day shall messengers go forth from me in ships to make the careless Ethiopians afraid, and great pain shall come upon them, as in the day of Egypt: for, lo, it cometh.
10	Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will also make the multitude of Egypt to cease by the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon.
11	He and his people with him, the terrible of the nations, shall be brought to destroy the land: and they shall draw their swords against Egypt, and fill the land with the slain.
12	And I will make the rivers dry, and sell the land into the hand of the wicked: and I will make the land waste, and all that is therein, by the hand of strangers: I the LORD have spoken it.
13	Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will also destroy the idols, and I will cause their images to cease out of Noph; and there shall be no more a prince of the land of Egypt: and I will put a fear in the land of Egypt.
14	And I will make Pathros desolate, and will set fire in Zoan, and will execute judgments in No.
15	And I will pour my fury upon Sin, the strength of Egypt; and I will cut off the multitude of No.
16	And I will set fire in Egypt: Sin shall have great pain, and No shall be rent asunder, and Noph shall have distresses daily.
17	The young men of Aven and of Pi-beseth shall fall by the sword: and these cities shall go into captivity.
18	At Tehaphnehes also the day shall be darkened, when I shall break there the yokes of Egypt: and the pomp of her strength shall cease in her: as for her, a cloud shall cover her, and her daughters shall go into captivity.
19	Thus will I execute judgments in Egypt: and they shall know that I am the LORD.
20	And it came to pass in the eleventh year, in the first month, in the seventh day of the month, that the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
21	Son of man, I have broken the arm of Pharaoh king of Egypt; and, lo, it shall not be bound up to be healed, to put a roller to bind it, to make it strong to hold the sword.
22	Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against Pharaoh king of Egypt, and will break his arms, the strong, and that which was broken; and I will cause the sword to fall out of his hand.
23	And I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and will disperse them through the countries.
24	And I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon, and put my sword in his hand: but I will break Pharaoh's arms, and he shall groan before him with the groanings of a deadly wounded man.
25	But I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon, and the arms of Pharaoh shall fall down; and they shall know that I am the LORD, when I shall put my sword into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall stretch it out upon the land of Egypt.
26	And I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and disperse them among the countries; and they shall know that I am the LORD.

Acts 13

1	Now 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.
2	As they ministered to the Lord, and fasted, the Holy Ghost said, Separate me Barnabas and Saul for the work whereunto I have called them.
3	And when they had fasted and prayed, and laid their hands on them, they sent them away.
4	So they, being sent forth by the Holy Ghost, departed unto Seleucia; and from thence they sailed to Cyprus.
5	And 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.
6	And when they had gone through the isle unto Paphos, they found a certain sorcerer, a false prophet, a Jew, whose name was Barjesus:
7	Which 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.
8	But Elymas the sorcerer (for so is his name by interpretation) withstood them, seeking to turn away the deputy from the faith.
9	Then Saul, (who also is called Paul,) filled with the Holy Ghost, set his eyes on him,
10	And said, O full of all subtlety 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?
11	And 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.
12	Then the deputy, when he saw what was done, believed, being astonished at the doctrine of the Lord.
13	Now when Paul and his company loosed from Paphos, they came to Perga in Pamphylia: and John departing from them returned to Jerusalem.
14	But when they departed from Perga, they came to Antioch in Pisidia, and went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and sat down.
15	And 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.
16	Then Paul stood up, and beckoning with his hand said, Men of Israel, and ye that fear God, give audience.
17	The 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 a high arm brought he them out of it.
18	And about the time of forty years suffered he their manners in the wilderness.
19	And when he had destroyed seven nations in the land of Canaan, he divided their land to them by lot.
20	And after that he gave unto them judges about the space of four hundred and fifty years, until Samuel the prophet.
21	And afterward they desired a king: and God gave unto them Saul the son of Kish, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, by the space of forty years.
22	And 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.
23	Of this man's seed hath God according to his promise raised unto Israel a Savior, Jesus:
24	When John had first preached before his coming the baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel.
25	And 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.
26	Men and brethren, children of the stock of Abraham, and whosoever among you feareth God, to you is the word of this salvation sent.
27	For 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.
28	And though they found no cause of death in him, yet desired they Pilate that he should be slain.
29	And when they had fulfilled all that was written of him, they took him down from the tree, and laid him in a sepulcher.
30	But God raised him from the dead:
31	And he was seen many days of them which came up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are his witnesses unto the people.
32	And we declare unto you glad tidings, how that the promise which was made unto the fathers,
33	God 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.
34	And 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.
35	Wherefore he saith also in another psalm, Thou shalt not suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.
36	For 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:
37	But he, whom God raised again, saw no corruption.
38	Be it known unto you therefore, men and brethren, that through this man is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins:
39	And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses.
40	Beware therefore, lest that come upon you, which is spoken of in the prophets;
41	Behold, 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.
42	And when the Jews were gone out of the synagogue, the Gentiles besought that these words might be preached to them the next sabbath.
43	Now 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.
44	And the next sabbath day came almost the whole city together to hear the word of God.
45	But when the Jews saw the multitudes, they were filled with envy, and spake against those things which were spoken by Paul, contradicting and blaspheming.
46	Then 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.
47	For 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.
48	And 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.
49	And the word of the Lord was published throughout all the region.
50	But the Jews stirred up the devout and honorable women, and the chief men of the city, and raised persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and expelled them out of their coasts.
51	But they shook off the dust of their feet against them, and came unto Iconium.
52	And the disciples were filled with joy, and with the Holy Ghost.
