1 The church in Antioch had teachers: Barnabas, Simeon, Lucius, Manaen, and Saul. ⛪ 2 They prayed and did not eat; God's Holy Spirit said to pick Barnabas and Saul to do God’s work. ️❌️ 3 They prayed more, put hands on Barnabas and Saul, and sent them out. ♂️♂️ 4 God's Holy Spirit sent them; they went to Seleucia and sailed to Cyprus. ️♂️️ 5 In Salamis, they told God’s word in the Jew God house, and John helped them. ️ 6 They crossed the island to Paphos and met a magic man named Bar-Jesus who was not true. ️➡️️♂️ 7 A big leader named Sergius Paulus liked to learn and asked Barnabas and Saul to tell God’s word. ⚖️ 8 But Elymas the magic man said no and tried to stop the leader from trusting God. ✋♂️ 9 Saul, also called Paul, was full of God's Holy Spirit and looked hard at Elymas. ️ 10 Paul said, “You are bad and tell lies; stop making God’s good road look bad!” ️⚠️️ 11 Paul said, “God will make you blind for a time,” and right then Elymas could not see and needed help. ️️️ 12 The leader saw this and believed, and he was amazed at God’s teaching. 13 Paul and friends sailed from Paphos to Perga, and John went back to Jerusalem. ➡️️ 14 They went from Perga to Antioch in Pisidia; on rest day they sat in God’s house. ⛪ 15 After God’s books were read, the leaders said, “Brothers, please share a good word to help us.” ️ 16 Paul stood and waved and said, “Men of Israel and all who love God, listen.” ✋️ 17 God chose our fathers, helped the people in Egypt, and led them out with His strong arm. ️ 18 For 40 years, God took care of them in the big wild land. 4️⃣0️⃣⛺ 19 God won over seven groups in the new land and gave the land to His people. ️ 20 This took a long time, about 450 years; then God gave them helpers called judges until Samuel. ⏳⚖️ 21 The people asked for a king, and God gave them King Saul for 40 years. 4️⃣0️⃣ 22 God took Saul away and made David king and said David would do what God wants. ❤️ 23 From David’s family, God sent a Savior, Jesus, just like He said. ➡️✝️ 24 Before Jesus came, John told people to say sorry and get washed in water. 25 John said, “I am not the One; the One after me is so big I am not good to untie His shoe.” ️ 26 My brothers and friends, God sent this good save plan to us. ❤️ 27 The people in the big city did not know Jesus; they read God’s words each week but still said Jesus was bad. ️❌ 28 They found no wrong in Him, but they asked Pilate to kill Him. ⚖️❌✝️ 29 They did all in God’s plan, took Him from the tree cross, and put Him in a tomb. ✝️ 30 But God made Him live again! ✝️➡️ 31 He showed Himself for many days to His friends, and now they tell the people. ️ 32 We bring good news: God kept His promise to our fathers. 33 God did it by making Jesus live again; long ago God said, “You are My Son.” 34 God raised Jesus to live for ever and said He would give sure good gifts from David’s line. 35 God also said, “My Holy One will not rot.” ️ 36 David served God, then died and was put in the ground, and his body broke down. ⚰️ 37 But Jesus, whom God raised, did not rot. ✝️ 38 Listen, friends: by Jesus we get our sins forgiven. ❤️ 39 If you trust Jesus, He makes you free in your heart from things the law could not fix. ❤️ 40 So be careful and do not miss what God said. ⚠️ 41 God said, “Look! I do a big work; some will not believe even if told.” ️ 42 When Paul and Barnabas left, people asked to hear more next rest day. 43 After the meet, many followed Paul and Barnabas, and they said, “Keep on in God’s kind gift.” ♂️♀️❤️ 44 Next rest day, almost the whole town came to hear God’s word. ️ 45 But some Jews saw the big crowd, got jealous, spoke against Paul, and were mean. ️ 46 Paul and Barnabas said, “We had to tell you first; you said no, so now we will tell other people.” ️➡️ 47 God said, “I make you a light for all nations to bring save help to the ends of the earth.” 48 When other people heard this, they were very happy, praised God’s word, and many believed to live for ever. 49 God’s word spread all over that land. ️ 50 But some Jews got big people mad and pushed Paul and Barnabas out. ️ 51 Paul and Barnabas shook dust off their feet and went to Iconium. ➡️ 52 The friends of Jesus were full of joy and God's Holy Spirit. ️
