Acts 13:27

Made Simple — Modern English Translation

Translated by Verse Made Simple Editorial
KJV ORIGINAL
For they that dwell at Jerusalem, and their rulers, because they knew him not, nor yet the voices of the prophets which are read every sabbath day, they have fulfilled them in condemning him.
Close to the original. Clear modern English.
✦ MADE SIMPLE

The people in Jerusalem and their leaders didn't recognize who Jesus really was, and they totally missed what the prophets had been saying about him every single week in their services. But here's the thing — by condemning him, they actually ended up fulfilling exactly what those prophecies said would happen.

⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE

Sometimes we fulfill God's plan even when we're completely missing the point.
