Notes

Acts 13:40–41

Paul ended his message with a strong warning (see Hebrews 2:3). Do not ignore, neglect, or reject the gospel, or you will encounter serious consequences.

Acts 13:38–41

Paul urged his audience to believe the message about Jesus, through whom there is forgiveness for your sins.

Acts 13:16–41

Paul accepted the invitation, and signaled for his audience to be quiet (compare 19:33; 21:40). He began to clearly proclaim the good news about Jesus. This is Paul's first major speech in the book of Acts. It serves as a model of the way he preached to a Jewish audience (see 22:1–21).
