Acts 13:48-52 MWT
This message made the Gentiles glad, and they praised יהוה for what they had heard about Jesus. Everyone who had been chosen for eternal life (2 Chron 16:9) then put their faith in Jesus. (49) The message about the Lord spread all over that region. (50) But the Jewish [Religious] leaders went to some of the important men in the town and to some respected women who were religious. They turned them against Paul and Barnabas and started making trouble for them. They even chased them out of that part of the country.

Since we don't speak those languages, we rely on those who have come before and made the effort to translate those texts into English for us.
