Acts 13:48-50

Amplified Bible

⁴⁸ When the Gentiles heard this, they began rejoicing and glorifying [praising and giving thanks for] the word of the Lord; and all those who had been appointed (designated, ordained) to eternal life [by God] believed [in Jesus as the Christ and their Savior]. ⁴⁹ And so the word of the Lord [regarding salvation] was being spread through the entire region. ⁵⁰ But the Jews incited the devout, prominent women and the leading men of the city, and instigated persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and drove them forcibly out of their district.
