Acts 13:26-33

In our blind judgements of situations we can unwittingly condemn the innocent.....calling what is good, evil and what is evil, good. May the Holy Spirit give us discernment in these most troubling of times.  If we Love God above all and love our neighbor as much as we do ourself we will fulfill both the Old and the New commands of our Father and remain safe in the Glad Tidings of Jesus Christ the Lord.

Sent out from the church at Antioch, Paul and Barnabas went to Cyprus, then to the cities of Galatia in Asia Minor. The Jewish synagogues in these cities provided Paul a platform for preaching the gospel. However, at times he encountered opposition from the synagogues.

When the Jewish leaders saw the crowds following Paul, they changed their minds about Paul and became filled with jealousy, especially since many of the people who had gathered were Jews.

Acts 13:26-33

²⁶ “Men and brethren, sons of the family of Abraham, and those among you who fear God, to you the word of this salvation has been sent. ²⁷ For those who dwell in Jerusalem, and their rulers, because they did not know Him, nor even the voices of the Prophets which are read every Sabbath, have fulfilled them in condemning Him. ²⁸ And though they found no cause for death in Him, they asked Pilate that He should be put to death. ²⁹ Now when they had fulfilled all that was written concerning Him, they took Him down from the tree and laid Him in a tomb. ³⁰ But God raised Him from the dead. ³¹ He was seen for many days by those who came up with Him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are His witnesses to the people. ³² And we declare to you glad tidings— that promise which was made to the fathers. ³³ God has fulfilled this for us their children, in that He has raised up Jesus.
