Some believed what he said, and others did not.

But the apostles Barnabas and Paul heard about this. So they tore their clothes. They rushed out into the crowd. They shouted,

Sons don’t honor their fathers. Daughters refuse to obey their mothers. Daughters- in- law are against their mothers- in- law. A man’s enemies are the members of his own family.

“ When a strong man is completely armed and guards his house, what he owns is safe.But when someone stronger attacks, he is overpowered. The attacker takes away the armor the man had trusted in. Then he divides up what he has stolen.“ Whoever is not with me is against me. And whoever does not gather with me scatters.

Then Simeon blessed them. He said to Mary, Jesus’ mother,“ This child is going to cause many people in Israel to fall and to rise. God has sent him. But many will speak against him.

While they were worshiping the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit spoke.“ Set apart Barnabas and Saul for me,” he said.“ I have appointed them to do special work.”

“ Do not think that I came to bring peace to the earth. I didn’t come to bring peace. I came to bring a sword.I have come to turn“‘ sons against their fathers. Daughters will refuse to obey their mothers. Daughters- in- law will be against their mothers- in- law.A man’s enemies will be the members of his own family.’( Micah 7:6)

Don’t we have the right to take a believing wife with us when we travel? The other apostles do. The Lord’s brothers do. Peter does.

So the people did not agree about who Jesus was.

His words won over some of the Jews. They joined Paul and Silas. A large number of Greeks who worshiped God joined them too. So did quite a few important women.But other Jews were jealous. So they rounded up some evil people from the market place. Forming a crowd, they started all kinds of trouble in the city. The Jews rushed to Jason’s house. They were looking for Paul and Silas. They wanted to bring them out to the crowd.

But some of them wouldn’t listen. They refused to believe. In public they said evil things about the Way of Jesus. So Paul left them. He took the believers with him. Each day he talked with people in the lecture hall of Tyrannus.

Do you think I came to bring peace on earth? No, I tell you. I have come to separate people.From now on there will be five members in a family, each one against the other. There will be three against two and two against three.They will be separated. Father will turn against son and son against father. Mother will turn against daughter and daughter against mother. Mother- in- law will turn against daughter- in- law and daughter- in- law against mother- in- law.”
