Acts 13:44-47

44 The next Sabbath almost the whole city was gathered together to hear the word of God.  45 But when the Jews saw the multitudes, they were filled with jealousy, and contradicted the things which were spoken by Paul, and blasphemed.

46 Paul and Barnabas spoke out boldly, and said, "It was necessary that God's word should be spoken to you first. Since indeed you thrust it from you, and judge yourselves unworthy of eternal life, behold, we turn to the Gentiles.  47 For so has the Lord commanded us, saying,  'I have set you as a light for the Gentiles,  That you should bring salvation to the uttermost parts of the earth.'"
