1And it happened in Iconium that they entered together into the synagogue of the Jews, and so spoke that a great multitude both of Jews and of Greeks believed. 2But the Jews who were disobedient stirred up the souls of the Gentiles, and poisoned their minds against the brothers. 3So they stayed there a long time speaking boldly in the Lord, who bore witness to the word of his grace, granting signs and wonders to be done by their hands. 4But the multitude of the city was divided; and part sided with the Jews, and part with the apostles. 5And when there was made an attempt both by the Gentiles and by the Jews with their rulers, to treat them shamefully and to stone them, 6they became aware of it, and fled to the cities of Lycaonia, Lystra and Derbe, and the surrounding region: 7and there they preached the gospel. 8And at Lystra there sat a certain man, without strength in his feet, a cripple from his mother’s womb, who had never walked. 9This man heard Paul speaking: who, fastening his eyes upon him, and seeing that he had faith to be made whole, 10said with a loud voice, Stand upright on your feet. And he leaped up and walked. 11And when 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. 12And they called Barnabas, Jupiter; and Paul, Mercury, because he was the chief speaker. 13And the priest of Jupiter whose temple was before the city brought oxen and garlands to the gates, and wanted to offer sacrifice with the multitudes. 14But when the apostles, Barnabas and Paul, heard of it, they tore their garments, and rushed out among the multitude, crying out 15and saying, Men, why are you doing these things? We also are men of like nature with you, and bring you good news, that you should turn from these vain things to a living God, who made the heaven and the earth and the sea, and all that is in them: 16who in the generations gone by allowed all the nations to walk in their own ways. 17And yet he did not leave himself without witness, in that he did good and gave you rains from heaven and fruitful seasons, filling your hearts with food and gladness. 18And with these sayings they scarcely restrained the multitudes from offering sacrifice to them. 19But Jews came there from Antioch and Iconium: 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: and on the next day he went out with Barnabas to Derbe. 21And when they had preached the gospel to that city, and had made many disciples, they returned to Lystra, and to Iconium, and to Antioch, 22confirming the souls of the disciples, exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that through many tribulations we must enter into the kingdom of God. 23And when they had appointed for them elders in every assembly, and had prayed with fasting, they commended them to the Lord, in whom they had believed. 24And they passed through Pisidia, and came to Pamphylia. 25And when they had spoken the word in Perga, they went down to Attalia; 26and from there they sailed to Antioch, from where they had been committed to the grace of God for the work which they had fulfilled. 27And when they had come, and had gathered the assembly together, they reported all things that God had done with them, and that he had opened a door of faith to the Gentiles. 28And they stayed no little time with the disciples.
