Paul and Barnabas in Iconium

14The same thing occurred in Iconium, where Paul and Barnabas went into the Jewish synagogue and spoke in such a way that a great number of both Jews and Greeks became believers.G1161G1096G1722G2430G846G1525G2596G846G1519G4864G2453G2532G3779G2980G5620G4183G4128G5037G2453G2532G1672G4100 2But the unbelieving Jews stirred up the Gentiles and poisoned their minds against the brothers.G1161G544G2453G1892G1484G2532G2559G5590G2559G2596G80 3So they remained for a long time, speaking boldly for the Lord, who testified to the word of his grace by granting signs and wonders to be done through them.G2425G5550G3303G3767G1304G3955G1909G2962G3588G3140G3056G846G5485G2532G1325G4592G2532G5059G1096G1223G846G5495 4But the residents of the city were divided; some sided with the Jews, and some with the apostles.G1161G4128G4172G4977G2532G3303G2258G4862G2453G1161G4862G652 5And when an attempt was made by both Gentiles and Jews, with their rulers, to mistreat them and to stone them,G1161G5613G1096G3730G1096G5037G1484G2532G2453G4862G846G758G5195G2532G3036G846 6the apostles learned of it and fled to Lystra and Derbe, cities of Lycaonia, and to the surrounding country;G4894G2703G1519G3082G2532G1191G4172G3071G2532G4066 7and there they continued proclaiming the good news.G2546G2258G2097

Paul and Barnabas in Lystra and Derbe

8In Lystra there was a man sitting who could not use his feet and had never walked, for he had been crippled from birth.G2532G2521G5100G435G1722G3082G102G4228G5225G5560G1537G846G3384G2836G3739G3763G4043 9He listened to Paul as he was speaking. And Paul, looking at him intently and seeing that he had faith to be healed,G3778G191G3972G2980G3739G816G846G2532G1492G3754G2192G4102G4982 10said in a loud voice, "Stand upright on your feet." And the man sprang up and began to walk.G2036G3173G5456G450G3717G1909G4675G4228G2532G242G2532G4043 11When the crowds saw what Paul had done, they shouted in the Lycaonian language, "The gods have come down to us in human form!"G1161G3793G1492G3739G3972G4160G1869G846G5456G3004G3072G2316G2597G4314G2248G3666G444 12Barnabas they called Zeus, and Paul they called Hermes, because he was the chief speaker.G5037G2564G921G3303G2203G1161G3972G2060G1894G846G2258G2233G3056 13The priest of Zeus, whose temple was just outside the city, brought oxen and garlands to the gates; he and the crowds wanted to offer sacrifice.G1161G2409G2203G3588G5607G4253G846G4172G5342G5022G2532G4725G1909G4440G2309G2380G4862G3793 14When the apostles Barnabas and Paul heard of it, they tore their clothes and rushed out into the crowd, shouting,G1161G652G921G2532G3972G191G1284G846G2440G1530G1519G3793G2896 15"Friends, why are you doing this? We are mortals just like you, and we bring you good news, that you should turn from these worthless things to the living God, who made the heaven and the earth and the sea and all that is in them.G2532G3004G435G5101G4160G5130G2249G2532G2070G444G3663G5213G2097G5209G1994G575G5023G3152G1909G2198G2316G3739G4160G3772G2532G1093G2532G2281G2532G3956G1722G846 16In past generations he allowed all the nations to follow their own ways;G3739G1722G1074G3944G1439G3956G1484G4198G846G3598 17yet he has not left himself without a witness in doing good—giving you rains from heaven and fruitful seasons, and filling you with food and your hearts with joy."G2544G2532G863G3756G1438G267G15G1325G2254G5205G3771G2532G2593G2540G1705G2257G2588G5160G2532G2167 18Even with these words, they scarcely restrained the crowds from offering sacrifice to them.G2532G5023G3004G3433G2664G3793G2380G3361G2380G846 19But Jews came there from Antioch and Iconium and won over the crowds. Then they stoned Paul and dragged him out of the city, supposing that he was dead.G1161G1904G2453G575G490G2532G2430G2532G3982G3793G2532G3034G3972G4951G1854G4172G3543G846G2348 20But when the disciples surrounded him, he got up and went into the city. The next day he went on with Barnabas to Derbe.G1161G3101G2944G846G450G1525G1519G4172G2532G1887G1831G4862G921G1519G1191 21After they had proclaimed the good news to that city and had made many disciples, they returned to Lystra, then on to Iconium and Antioch.G5037G2097G1565G4172G2532G3100G2425G5290G1519G3082G2532G2430G2532G490 22There they strengthened the souls of the disciples and encouraged them to continue in the faith, saying, "It is through many persecutions that we must enter the kingdom of God."G1991G5590G3101G3870G1696G4102G2532G3754G2248G1163G1223G4183G2347G1525G1519G932G2316 23And after they had appointed elders for them in each church, with prayer and fasting they entrusted them to the Lord in whom they had come to believe.G1161G5500G846G4245G2596G1577G4336G3326G3521G3908G846G2962G1519G3739G4100 24Then they passed through Pisidia and came to Pamphylia.G2532G1330G4099G2064G1519G3828 25When they had spoken the word in Perga, they went down to Attalia.G2532G2980G3056G1722G4011G2597G1519G825 26From there they sailed back to Antioch, where they had been commended to the grace of God for the work that they had completed.G2547G636G1519G490G3606G2258G3860G5485G2316G1519G2041G3739G4137 27When they arrived, they called the church together and related all that God had done with them, and how he had opened a door of faith for the Gentiles.G1161G3854G2532G4863G1577G4863G312G3745G2316G4160G3326G846G2532G3754G455G2374G4102G1484 28And they stayed there with the disciples for some time.G1161G1563G1304G3756G3641G5550G4862G3101
