Newer Testament Acts chapter 13 of 28 (52 verses.)
The Ekklesia at Antioch grows rich in prophets and teachers: [for instance], Barnabas {Prophet-Child}, Simeon {Listener} aka Niger {Black}, Lucius {African-Light-Bringer} from Cyrene, Manaen [Comforter] (former advisor, comrade and childhood companion of [false-king] Herod the tetrarch) and [former Christian-killer] Saul! 
As these prophets and teachers fast and serve Adonai [YHVH], the Sacred Spirit says, “Separate Barnabas {Prophet-Child} & Saul [Paul] to [serve] me. [Dedicate them] for [the special kind of] work to which I'm calling them.”
So, 😇, the disciples fast and pray. [Then they] lay their hands on [Barnabas & Saul], to send them away [on a mission with a blessing].
So [Barnabas & Paul], sent forth by the Sacred Spirit, travel [east from Antioch, Syria] for Seleucia [in central Iraq], 😇. From there they [trek west across the entire Middle-East to] sail to [the Mediterranean island of] Cyprus. [Barnabas & Saul land on the isle of Cyprus] at [the port of] Salamis [Storm-Surge]. There [they risk death by] heralding YHVH's Word [about Yahshua] in the Jewish synagogues. (JAHn [Mark] sticks with [Barnabas & Saul] as their helper.)
Paul and company journey through the whole island [of Cyprus]. [Finally they] reach the town of Paphos. There they find a Jewish sorcerer / false prophet named ‘Bar-Yahshua {Son-Of-Jesus}’. 
This sorcerer works as an attendant to [Cyprus'] deputy-Consul (Sergius Paulus), a prudent man. Sergius sends for Paul and company. [Sergius] begs to hear the word of [YHVH] the Eloah.But Elymas the sorcerer (aka [Son-Of-Jesus]) opposes Saul and Barnabas {Prophet-Child}. [The sorcerer] schemes to turn [Rome's] deputy-Consul away from faith [in Yahshua].So Saul (aka Paul) filled with Sacred Spirit, sets his eyes on the sorcerer, 😇. Paul says, “[You sorcerer! You're] full of all kinds of deceit and trickery! You spawn of the devil! You enemy of all righteousness! Will you never stop perverting the right ways of the Adonai [YHVH]? —So, now, watch this, witch! The hand of Adonai [YHVH] is upon you. Until [YAH heals you] you'll be so blind you won't even see the [light of the] sun [at high noon]!” Immediately mist & darkness fall on the sorcerer. He gropes about seeking someone to lead him by the hand, 😇.
The deputy-Consul sees [Paul] blind the sorcerer. So the deputy-Consul [stands] dumbstruck at [the miracle-powers Paul has] learned from [YHVH] the Adonai. So [the deputy-Consul] entrusts [his life to YAH]. From Paphos, Paul & his companions sail [north] to Perga [Pergamos (Fort), the ‘fortified tower’] in Pamphylia [Turkey], [the heterogenous melting-pot of all the tribes in Asia Minor]. (There [to Paul's chagrin,] JAHn [Mark] leaves [Paul's traveling team] to return to Jerusalem.)Paul & company leave Perga {Tower-Town}. They hike [north] to Antioch (in Pisidia, [another section of Asia Minor]). There [they risk death by] walking into the synagogue on the Sabbath day. They sit down, 😇.The [priest] reads [from] the [Mosaic] law and [from other Hebrew] prophetic [writings]. Then the rulers of the synagogue beckon to [Paul and company], saying, “You men, brothers, if you have any word of encouragement for the people, speak.”Paul stands up, beckons with his hand, then says, “Men of Israel, and you [beast-nationals] who fear [YHVH] the Eloah, listen.
[Look back to antiquity, when YHVH], the Eloah of this nation of Israel, chooses our fore-fathers. [YAH] exalts [our] people as they dwell as strangers in the land of Egypt. With a mighty arm YAH brings the Israelites out of Egypt.
For about 40 years, YAH tolerates the Israelites’ [bad] conduct in the wilderness.
YHVH [goes on to] hurl 7 [pagan] nations out of the land of Canaan {LowLand}. Then YAH apportions the Caananites’ land to the Israelites by lot, [like flipping coins]. All this takes about 450 years, 😇. [YAH] provides ‘judges’ to lead the Israelites, until the lifetime of the prophet SamuEl {Heard-By-El}.
Then the Israelites [foolishly] demand a king. So YAH gives them [tall] Saul (son of Kish {Bow} from the tribe of Benjamin {Right-Hand-Son}). [Saul] rules [Israel] for 40 years, 😇.
[Demons infest king Saul. So] YAH deposes him. [YAH] raises up David {Love} to be the Israelites’ king. YAH testifies: ‘I find David (the son of Yashai (Jesse)) [to be] a man whose heart [beats with mine]. David comes to do everything I [directly command him to do].’
Using the seed of this man, David {Love}, YAH keeps his promise. [YAH] raises for Israel a Savior [named] Yahshua. 
Before Yahshua arrives, JAHn heralds the ‘baptism of repentance’ to all the people of Israel. As JAHn [the Baptizer] completes his work, he says, ‘Who do you think I am? I'm not [the Messiah]. No. [The] coming [Messiah] supersedes me. I'm not worthy to untie his sandals.’Men, brothers, sons born of Abraham {Father-Of-Billions}, and whoever [else] among you fears YHVH, it is to us that [YAH] sends this message of deliverance.
By condemning Yahshua, the people of Jerusalem and their rulers fulfill the prophets’ [predictions]. They fail to recognize Yahshua. They misunderstand the voices of the prophets whose [predictions they] read every Sabbath day, 😇!
Though the Jews find in Yahshua no grounds for the death penalty, they still [force tax-chief] Pilate to execute Yahshua.The [Jews] fulfill everything [the prophets] wrote predicting [how religionists would torture] Yahshua. Then [believers] take Yahshua down from the tree. They lay him in a tomb.
But YAH raises Yahshua from the dead, 😇!For many days, [the risen] Yahshua appears to the people who trudged uphill with him from Heathen-Circle [Galilee] to Jerusalem. These are Yahshua's witnesses to the [world's] people.
We proclaim [to] you the good news: By resurrecting Yahshua, YAH fulfilled His promise to our fore-fathers, [Israel's] children. [David] writes [YAH's declaration about Yahshua] in Psalm 2:7, ‘Today I, [YAH, throw a celebration to] proclaim that you, [Yahshua,] are my son!’YAH raised Yahshua from the dead. Yahshua will never rot [in the grave]. This is why [the prophet Isaiah] predicts: '[Messiah,] I award you the holy and sure blessings [I promised to king] David {Love}.’ That's why David {Love} says in Psalm [16:10], “You [YAH] will never let your Holy One [Yahshua] experience decay.”
David {Love} served YHVH's purpose in his own generation. Then David fell “asleep.” [His sons] buried him [beside] his fore-fathers. His body decayed, 😇. But Yahshua, whom YHVH raised from the dead, never experienced decay. [Yahshua's body never rotted.] Get this, men! Brothers, I'm heralding to you that forgiveness of sins is [available to you] through [active belief in] this man [Yahshua].
Through [becoming united with] Yahshua, everyone who [lives a life of active] belief becomes justified from every [sin] you could not be acquitted of by [obeying] the law of Moses, 😇.
So watch out that [the doom of which] the prophets warned does not [crash down] on you, 😇:
[As Habakkuk 1:5 decrees,] ‘Look, you scoffers [who make fun of the truth]! Marvel and die! For in your lifespan I'm going to wreak such [spectacular destruction] that you would never believe it, even if someone forewarned you.’”
[The rogue Jews, surprisingly, resist the urge to kill Paul on the spot. They scheme to covertly assassinate him.] As Paul and Barnabas {Prophet-Child} leave the synagogue, the people invite them to herald more about [YAH's Good News] on the next Sabbath!
The congregation disperses, 😇. Then many of the Jews and devout converts [to Judaism] follow Paul & Barnabas {Prophet-Child}. These [missionaries] talk with the [Jews], urging them to persevere [through the coming tough times] on [the strength of] YHVH's unmerited favor.On the next Sabbath almost the whole city [of Antioch] gathers to hear the word of YHVH, 😇. [Some evil] Jews see the multitudes [gathering to hear Paul]. So they boil over with envy, 😇. Slandering and blaspheming, these Jews contradict [everything] Paul says.
Then Paul & Barnabas {Prophet-Child} grow bold, 😇. They answer the Jews, “YHVH ordained that [we] first speak His Word to you. But you reject [YHVH]. [This proves that you] judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting life. So now we turn [our message] to the [Non-Jew] Gentile [‘Beast-Nations’]. For [YHVH] the Adonai commanded us [believers to do international global missions], saying, “I've set you [up as] a light for the Nations, so you can bring salvation to the ends of the earth.” 
When the beast-nationals hear this, they [rejoice, 😇]. They honor the word of [YHVH] the Adonai. So all the people whom [YAH] appointed [to live forever, become active, fruitful] believers.So the word of Adonai [YHVH] spreads [like wildfire] throughout the whole region [of Asia Minor, 😇].
But the Jews stir up the devout women of high standing, and the chief men of [Antioch] city. These [leaders] raise persecution against Paul & Barnabas {Prophet-Child}. The [jerks] banish the [disciples] from their region.
