38. My friends, the message is that Jesus can forgive your sins! The Law of Moses could not set you free from all your sins.
39. But everyone who has faith in Jesus is set free.
40. Make sure that what the prophets have said doesn't happen to you. They said,
41. “Look, you peoplewho make fun of God!Be amazedand disappear.I will do something todaythat you won't believe,even if someonetells you about it!”
42. As Paul and Barnabas were leaving the meeting, the people begged them to say more about these same things on the next Sabbath.
43. After the service, many Jews and a lot of Gentiles who worshipped God went with them. Paul and Barnabas begged them all to remain faithful to God, who had been so kind to them.
44. The next Sabbath almost everyone in town came to hear the message about the Lord.
45. When the Jewish people saw the crowds, they were very jealous. They insulted Paul and spoke against everything he said.
