“ Then the Lord said to me,‘ Go. I will send you far away to people who are not Jews.’ ”

主向我说：‘你去吧！我要差你远远地往外邦人那里去。’”

主对我说：‘你去吧！我要差你到远方外邦人那里去。’”

主对我说：‘你去吧！我要差你到远方外邦人那里去。’”

主却对我说，‘去吧！我要差遣你到遥远的外族人那里。’”

他对我说：‘你走吧，我要派你到远方的外族人那里去。’”

“主对我说：‘去吧！我要派你到遥远的外邦人那里去。’”

主向我說：『你去吧！我要差你遠遠地往外邦人那裏去。』」

主對我說：『你去吧！我要差你到遠方外邦人那裏去。』」

“ Then the Lord said to me,‘ Go; I will send you far away to the Gentiles.’”

And he said to me,‘ Go, for I will send you far away to the Gentiles.’”

“ But the Lord said to me,‘ Go, for I will send you far away to the Gentiles!’”

“ He said to me,‘ Go, because I will send you far away to the Gentiles.’”

And He said to me,‘ Go! For I will send you far away to the Gentiles.’ ”

Then He said to me,‘ Depart, for I will send you far from here to the Gentiles.’”

And he said unto me, Depart: for I will send thee forth far hence unto the Gentiles.

“ Then He said to me,‘ Go, because I will send you far away to the Gentiles.’”

And he said unto me, Depart: for I will send thee far hence unto the Gentiles.

Then he said to me,‘ Go, because I will send you far away to the Gentiles.’”

“ He said to me,‘ Depart, for I will send you out far from here to the Gentiles.’”

But the Lord said to Ananias,“ Go! I have chosen this man to work for me. He will announce my name to the Gentiles and to their kings. He will also announce my name to the people of Israel.

In fact, it was just the opposite. They recognized the task I had been trusted with. It was the task of preaching the good news to the Gentiles. My task was like Peter’s task. He had been trusted with the task of preaching to the Jews.God was working in Peter as an apostle to the Jews. God was also working in me as an apostle to the Gentiles.

I was appointed to be a messenger and an apostle to preach the good news. I am telling the truth. I’m not lying. God appointed me to be a true and faithful teacher of the Gentiles.

Then Paul and Barnabas answered them boldly.“ We had to speak God’s word to you first,” they said.“ But you don’t accept it. You don’t think you are good enough for eternal life. So now we are turning to the Gentiles.This is what the Lord has commanded us to do. He said,“‘ I have made you a light for the Gentiles. You will bring salvation to the whole earth.’ ”( Isaiah 49:6)

I am talking to you who are not Jews. I am the apostle to the Gentiles. So I take pride in the work I do for God and others.

to serve Christ Jesus among the Gentiles. I have the duty of a priest to preach God’s good news. Then the Gentiles will become an offering that pleases God. The Holy Spirit will make the offering holy.

Here is the mystery. Because of the good news, God’s promises are for Gentiles as well as for Jews. Both groups are parts of one body. They share in the promise. It belongs to them because they belong to Christ Jesus.I now serve the good news because God gave me his grace. His power is at work in me.I am by far the least important of all the Lord’s holy people. But he gave me the grace to preach to the Gentiles about the unlimited riches that Christ gives.

I was appointed to announce the good news. I was appointed to be an apostle and a teacher.

I will save you from your own people and from the Gentiles. I am sending you to themto open their eyes. I want you to turn them from darkness to light. I want you to turn them from Satan’s power to God. I want their sins to be forgiven. They will be forgiven when they believe in me. They will have their place among God’s people.’

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.”

But God set me apart from before the time I was born. He showed me his grace by appointing me. He was pleasedto show his Son in my life. He wanted me to preach about Jesus among the Gentiles. When God appointed me, I decided right away not to ask anyone for advice.

The mystery has now been made known through the writings of the prophets. The eternal God commanded that it be made known. God wanted all the Gentiles to obey him by trusting in him.

We received grace because of what Jesus did. He made us apostles to the Gentiles. We must invite all of them to obey God by trusting in Jesus. We do this to bring glory to him.

But they opposed Paul. They treated him badly. So he shook out his clothes in protest. Then he said to them,“ God’s judgment against you will be your own fault! Don’t blame me for it! From now on I will go to the Gentiles.”
