Acts of the Apostles 13:15

In context

13Paul and his companions put out from Paphos and came to Perga in Pamphylia, where John left them and went back to Jerusalem. 14They went on from Perga and reached Antioch in Pisidia. On the Sabbath they went into the synagogue and sat down. 15After the reading of the law and the prophets, the synagogue leaders sent word to them: “Brothers, if you have a word of encouragement for the people, speak.” 16Paul stood up, motioned with his hand and said: “Israelites, and you who fear God, listen. 17The God of this people Israel chose our ancestors. He made the people great during their stay in the land of Egypt, and with a raised arm he led them out of it.
