Acts 13 Let's look at what they said about Jesus...
23 Of David's seed has GOD, according to His promise, raised to Israel a Savior, Jesus.

โIt was necessary that the Word of God should first have been spoken to you (to the Jews first!).
But seeing ye put it from you, and judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting life, lo, we turn to the Gentiles.47 For so has the Lord commanded us, saying, โI have set thee to be a light of the Gentiles, that thou shouldest bring salvation unto the ends of the earth.โโ
48 And when the Gentiles heard this, they were glad
and glorified the Word of the Lord; and as many as were ordained to eternal life believed.52 And the disciples were filled with joy and with the Holy Ghost.
