¹In Iconium , they entered together into the Jewish synagogue , and so spoke that a great multitude both of Jews and of Greeks believed .

²But the disbelieving Jews stirred up and embittered the souls of the Gentiles against the brothers.[#14:2 or, disobedient]

³Therefore they stayed there a long time , speaking boldly in the Lord , who testified to the word of his grace , granting signs and wonders to be done by their hands .

⁴But the multitude of the city was divided . Part sided with the Jews and part with the emissaries.

⁵When some of both the Gentiles and the Jews , with their rulers, made a violent attempt to mistreat and stone them ,

⁶they became aware of it and fled to the cities of Lycaonia , Lystra , Derbe , and the surrounding region .

⁷There they preached the Good News .

⁸At Lystra a certain man sat , impotent in his feet , a cripple from his mother ’s womb , who never had walked .

⁹He was listening to Paul speaking , who , fastening eyes on him and seeing that he had faith to be made whole ,

¹⁰said with a loud voice , “Stand upright on your feet !” He leaped up and walked .

¹¹When the multitude saw what Paul had done , they lifted up their voice , saying in the language of Lycaonia , “The gods have come down to us in the likeness of men !”

¹²They called Barnabas “Jupiter ”, and Paul “Mercury”, because he was the chief speaker .

¹³The priest of Jupiter , whose temple was in front of their city , brought oxen and garlands to the gates , and would have made a sacrifice along with the multitudes .

¹⁴But when the emissaries, Barnabas and Paul , heard of it , they tore their clothes and sprang into the multitude , crying out ,

¹⁵“Men , why are you doing these things ? We also are men of the same nature as you , and bring you good news , that you should turn from these vain things to the living God , who made the sky , the earth , the sea , and all that is in them ;

¹⁶who in the generations gone by allowed all the nations to walk in their own ways .

¹⁷Yet he didn’t leave himself without witness, in that he did good and gave you rains from the sky and fruitful seasons , filling our hearts with food and gladness .”[#14:17 TR reads “us” instead of “you”]

¹⁸Even saying these things , they hardly stopped the multitudes from making a sacrifice to them .

¹⁹But some Jews from Antioch and Iconium came there , and having persuaded the multitudes , they stoned Paul and dragged him out of the city , supposing that he was dead .

²⁰But as the disciples stood around him , he rose up , and entered into the city . On the next day he went out with Barnabas to Derbe .

²¹When they had preached the Good News to that city and had made many disciples , they returned to Lystra , Iconium , and Antioch,

²²strengthening the souls of the disciples , exhorting them to continue in the faith , and that through many afflictions we must enter into God ’s Kingdom.

²³When they had appointed elders for them in every assembly , and had prayed with fasting , they commended them to the Lord on whom they had believed .

²⁴They passed through Pisidia and came to Pamphylia .

²⁵When they had spoken the word in Perga , they went down to Attalia.

²⁶From there they sailed to Antioch, from where they had been committed to the grace of God for the work which they had fulfilled .

²⁷When they had arrived and had gathered the assembly together , they reported all the things that God had done with them , and that he had opened a door of faith to the nations .

²⁸They stayed there with the disciples for a long time .
