12. then the proconsul having seen what hath come to pass, did believe, being astonished at the teaching of the Lord.
13. And those about Paul having set sail from Paphos, came to Perga of Pamphylia, and
14. and they having gone through from Perga, came to Antioch of Pisidia, and having gone into the synagogue on the sabbath-day, they sat down,
15. and after the reading of the law and of the prophets, the chief men of the synagogue sent unto them, saying, `Men, brethren, if there be a word in you of exhortation unto the people-- say on.'
16. And Paul having risen, and having beckoned with the hand, said, `Men, Israelites, and those fearing God, hearken:
17. the God of this people Israel did choose our fathers, and the people He did exalt in their sojourning in the land of Egypt, and with an high arm did He bring them out of it;
18. and about a period of forty years He did suffer their manners in the wilderness,
19. and having destroyed seven nations in the land of Canaan, He did divide by lot to them their land.
20. `And after these things, about four hundred and fifty years, He gave judges--till Samuel the prophet;
21. and thereafter they asked for a king, and God did give to them Saul, son of Kish, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, for forty years;
22. and having removed him, He did raise up to them David for king, to whom also having testified, he said, I found David, the [son] of Jesse, a man according to My heart, who shall do all My will.
23. `Of this one's seed God, according to promise, did raise to Israel a Saviour--Jesus,
24. John having first preached, before his coming, a baptism of reformation to all the people of Israel;
25. and as John was fulfilling the course, he said, Whom me do ye suppose to be? I am not [he], but, lo, he doth come after me, of whom I am not worthy to loose the sandal of [his] feet.
26. `Men, brethren, sons of the race of Abraham, and those among you fearing God, to you was the word of this salvation sent,

28. and no cause of death having found, they did ask of Pilate that he should be slain,
29. and when they did complete all the things written about him, having taken [him] down from the tree, they laid him in a tomb;
30. and God did raise him out of the dead,
31. and he was seen for many days of those who did come up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are his witnesses unto the people.
