When the Jews rejected Paul's preaching of the gospel, what did he and Barnabas say?
Answer
"Then Paul and Barnabas waxed bold, and said, It was necessary that the Word of God should first have
been spoken to you: but seeing you put it from you, and judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting life, lo,
we turn to the Gentiles." Acts 13: 46.
NOTE - From all this it is plain that had not the Jews as a nation rejected Christ, they would still
have maintained the pre-eminence as the children of God, and as God's light-bearers to the world. But on
account of this rejection they were rejected as God's peculiar people and others took their place, and now
bear the name of Israel in common with those who were first called by that name.
