    • [Acts 13:42-52 ESV]
    • 42 As they went out, the people begged that these things might be told them the next Sabbath.
    • 43 And after the meeting of the synagogue broke up, many Jews and devout converts to Judaism followed Paul and Barnabas, who, as they spoke with them, urged them to continue in the grace of God.
    • 44 The next Sabbath almost the whole city gathered to hear the word of the Lord.
    • 45 But when the Jews saw the crowds, they were filled with jealousy and began to contradict what was spoken by Paul, reviling him.
    • 46 And Paul and Barnabas spoke out boldly, saying, “It was necessary that the word of God be spoken first to you. Since you thrust it aside and judge yourselves unworthy of eternal life, behold, we are turning to the Gentiles.
    • 47 For so the Lord has commanded us, saying, “‘I have made you a light for the Gentiles, that you may bring salvation to the ends of the earth.'”
    • 48 And when the Gentiles heard this, they began rejoicing and glorifying the word of the Lord, and as many as were appointed to eternal life believed.
    • 49 And the word of the Lord was spreading throughout the whole region.
    • 50 But the Jews incited the devout women of high standing and the leading men of the city, stirred up persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and drove them out of their district.
    • 51 But they shook off the dust from their feet against them and went to Iconium.
    • 52 And the disciples were filled with joy and with the Holy Spirit.
    •  
    • [John 3:16-21 ESV]
    • 16 “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.
    • 17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him.
    • 18 Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.
    • 19 And this is the judgment: the light has come into the world, and people loved the darkness rather than the light because their works were evil.
    • 20 For everyone who does wicked things hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his works should be exposed.
    • 21 But whoever does what is true comes to the light, so that it may be clearly seen that his works have been carried out in God.”
    •  
    • [Luke 2:32 ESV]
    • 32 a light for revelation to the Gentiles, and for glory to your people Israel.”
    •  
    • [Luke 9:5 ESV]
    • 5 And wherever they do not receive you, when you leave that town shake off the dust from your feet as a testimony against them.”
    •  
    • [Isaiah 49:6 ESV]
    • 6 he says: “It is too light a thing that you should be my servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob and to bring back the preserved of Israel; I will make you as a light for the nations, that my salvation may reach to the end of the earth.”
