In aIconium bthey entered the synagogue of the Jews together, and spoke in such a manner cthat a large number of people believed, both of Jews and of dGreeks.
2But athe Jews who 1 bdisbelieved stirred up the 2minds of the Gentiles and embittered them against cthe brethren.
3Therefore they spent a long time there aspeaking boldly with reliance upon the Lord, who was testifying to the word of His grace, granting that 1 bsigns and wonders be done by their hands.
4aBut the 1people of the city were divided; and some 2sided with bthe Jews, and some with cthe apostles.
5And when an attempt was made by both the Gentiles and athe Jews with their rulers, to mistreat and to bstone them,
6they became aware of it and fled to the cities of aLycaonia, bLystra and cDerbe, and the surrounding region;
7and there they continued to apreach the gospel.
8At aLystra ba man was sitting who had no strength in his feet, lame from his mother's womb, who had never walked.
9This man was listening to Paul as he spoke, who, awhen he had fixed his gaze on him and had seen that he had bfaith to be 1made well,
10said with a loud voice, "Stand upright on your feet." aAnd he leaped up and began to walk.
11When the crowds saw what Paul had done, they raised their voice, saying in the aLycaonian language, " bThe gods have become like men and have come down to us."
12And they began calling Barnabas, 1Zeus, and Paul, 2Hermes, because he was 3the chief speaker.
13The priest of Zeus, whose temple was 1just outside the city, brought oxen and garlands to the gates, and awanted to offer sacrifice with the crowds.
14But when athe apostles Barnabas and Paul heard of it, they btore their 1robes and rushed out into the crowd, crying out
15and saying, "Men, why are you doing these things? We are also amen of the same nature as you, and bpreach the gospel to you that you should turn from these 1 cvain things to a dliving God, eWHO MADE THE HEAVEN AND THE EARTH AND THE SEA AND ALL THAT IS IN THEM.
16" 1In the generations gone by He apermitted all the 2nations to bgo their own ways;
17and yet aHe did not leave Himself without witness, in that He did good and bgave you rains from heaven and fruitful seasons, 1satisfying your hearts with food and gladness."
18Even saying these things, with difficulty they restrained the crowds from offering sacrifice to them.
19But aJews came from bAntioch and cIconium, and having won over the crowds, they dstoned Paul and dragged him out of the city, supposing him to be dead.
20But while athe disciples stood around him, he got up and entered the city. The next day he went away with Barnabas to bDerbe.
21After they had apreached the gospel to that city and had bmade many disciples, they returned to cLystra and to dIconium and to eAntioch,
22strengthening the souls of athe disciples, encouraging them to continue in bthe faith, and saying, " cThrough many tribulations we must enter the kingdom of God."
23When athey had appointed belders for them in every church, having cprayed with fasting, they dcommended them to the Lord in whom they had believed.
24They passed through aPisidia and came into bPamphylia.
25When they had spoken the word in aPerga, they went down to Attalia.
26From there they sailed to aAntioch, from bwhich they had been ccommended to the grace of God for the work that they had 1accomplished.
27When they had arrived and gathered the church together, they began to areport all things that God had done with them and 1how He had opened a bdoor of faith to the Gentiles.
28And they spent 1a long time with athe disciples.
