Acts 13:42

40 Watch out, then, that what was spoken by the prophets does not happen to you:

41 ‘Look, you scoffers, wonder and perish! For I am doing a work in your days that you would never believe, even if someone told you.’”

As Paul and Barnabas were leaving the synagogue, the people urged them to continue this message on the next Sabbath.

43 After the synagogue was dismissed, many of the Jews and devout converts to Judaism followed Paul and Barnabas, who spoke to them and urged them to continue in the grace of God.

44 On the following Sabbath, nearly the whole city gathered to hear the word of the Lord.
