Paul and Barnabas in Iconium

14In Iconium Paul and Barnabus went into the Jewish synagogue and spoke in such a way that a great number of both Jews and Greeks believed.G1161G1096G1722G2430G846G1525G2596G846G1519G4864G2453G2532G3779G2980G5620G4183G4128G5037G2453G2532G1672G4100 2But the Jews who refused to believe stirred up the gentiles and poisoned their minds against the brothers.G1161G544G2453G1892G1484G2532G2559G5590G2559G2596G80 3They stayed there a considerable time and continued to speak boldly for the Lord, who kept affirming his word of grace and granting signs and wonders to be done by them.G2425G5550G3303G3767G1304G3955G1909G2962G3588G3140G3056G846G5485G2532G1325G4592G2532G5059G1096G1223G846G5495 4But the people of the city were divided. Some were with the Jews, while others were with the apostles.2G1161G4128G4172G4977G2532G3303G2258G4862G2453G1161G4862G652 5Now when an attempt was made by both gentiles and Jews, along with their authorities, to mistreat and stone them,G1161G5613G1096G3730G1096G5037G1484G2532G2453G4862G846G758G5195G2532G3036G846 6Paul and Barnabus found out about it and fled to the Lycaonian towns of Lystra and Derbe and to the surrounding territory.G4894G2703G1519G3082G2532G1191G4172G3071G2532G4066 7There they kept telling the good news.G2546G2258G2097

Paul and Barnabas in Lystra

8Now in Lystra there was a man sitting down who couldn't use his feet. He had been crippled from birth and had never walked.G2532G2521G5100G435G1722G3082G102G4228G5225G5560G1537G846G3384G2836G3739G3763G4043 9He was listening to Paul as he spoke. Paul watched him closely, and when he saw that he had faith to be healed,G3778G191G3972G2980G3739G816G846G2532G1492G3754G2192G4102G4982 10he said in a loud voice, "Stand up straight on your feet!" Then the man jumped up and began to walk.G2036G3173G5456G450G3717G1909G4675G4228G2532G242G2532G4043 11When the crowds saw what Paul had done, they shouted in the Lycaonian language, "The gods have become like men and have come down to us!"G1161G3793G1492G3739G3972G4160G1869G846G5456G3004G3072G2316G2597G4314G2248G3666G444 12They began to call Barnabas Zeus, and Paul Hermes, because he was the main speaker.G5037G2564G921G3303G2203G1161G3972G2060G1894G846G2258G2233G3056 13The priest of the temple of Zeus, which was just outside the city, brought bulls and garlands to the gates. He and the crowds wanted to offer sacrifices.G1161G2409G2203G3588G5607G4253G846G4172G5342G5022G2532G4725G1909G4440G2309G2380G4862G3793 14But when the apostles Barnabas and Paul heard of it, they tore their clothes and rushed out into the crowd, shouting,G1161G652G921G2532G3972G191G1284G846G2440G1530G1519G3793G2896 15"Men, why are you doing this? We are merely human beings with natures like yours. We are telling you the good news so you'll turn from these worthless things to the living God, who made heaven and earth, the sea, and everything in them.G2532G3004G435G5101G4160G5130G2249G2532G2070G444G3663G5213G2097G5209G1994G575G5023G3152G1909G2198G2316G3739G4160G3772G2532G1093G2532G2281G2532G3956G1722G846 16In past generations he allowed all the nations to go their own ways,G3739G1722G1074G3944G1439G3956G1484G4198G846G3598 17yet he has not abandoned his witness: he continues to do good, to give you rain from heaven, to give you fruitful seasons, to fill you with food and your hearts with joy."G2544G2532G863G3756G1438G267G15G1325G2254G5205G3771G2532G2593G2540G1705G2257G2588G5160G2532G2167 18Even by saying this, it was all Paul and Barnabus could do to keep the crowds from offering sacrifices to them.G2532G5023G3004G3433G2664G3793G2380G3361G2380G846 19But some Jews came from Antioch and Iconium and won over the crowds by persuasion. They stoned Paul and dragged him out of the town, thinking he was dead.G1161G1904G2453G575G490G2532G2430G2532G3982G3793G2532G3034G3972G4951G1854G4172G3543G846G2348 20But the disciples formed a circle around him, and he got up and went back to town. The next day he went on with Barnabas to Derbe.G1161G3101G2944G846G450G1525G1519G4172G2532G1887G1831G4862G921G1519G1191 21As they were proclaiming the good news in that city, they discipled a large number of people. Then they went back to Lystra, Iconium, and Antioch,G5037G2097G1565G4172G2532G3100G2425G5290G1519G3082G2532G2430G2532G490 22strengthening the disciples and encouraging them to continue in the faith, saying, "We must endure many hardships to get into the kingdom of God."G1991G5590G3101G3870G1696G4102G2532G3754G2248G1163G1223G4183G2347G1525G1519G932G2316 23Paul and Barnabus appointed elders for them in each church, and with prayer and fasting they entrusted them to the Lord in whom they had believed.G1161G5500G846G4245G2596G1577G4336G3326G3521G3908G846G2962G1519G3739G4100 24Then they passed through Pisidia and came to Pamphylia.G2532G1330G4099G2064G1519G3828 25They spoke the word in Perga and went down to Attalia.G2532G2980G3056G1722G4011G2597G1519G825 26From there they sailed back to Antioch, where they had been entrusted to the grace of God for the work they had completed.G2547G636G1519G490G3606G2258G3860G5485G2316G1519G2041G3739G4137 27When they arrived, they called the church together and told them everything that God had done with them and how he had opened a door so that gentiles would believe.G1161G3854G2532G4863G1577G4863G312G3745G2316G4160G3326G846G2532G3754G455G2374G4102G1484 28Then they spent a long time with the disciples.G1161G1563G1304G3756G3641G5550G4862G3101
