And it came to pass
in
Iconium
, that they
went
both
together
into
the synagogue
of the Jews
, and
so
spake
, that
a great
multitude
both
of the Jews
and also
of the Greeks
believed
.
But the unbelieving
Jews
stirred up
the Gentiles
, and
made
their minds
evil affected
against
the brethren
.
Long time
therefore
abode they
speaking boldly
in
the Lord
, which
gave testimony
unto the word
of his
grace
, and
granted
signs
and
wonders
to be done
by
their
hands
.
But the multitude
of the city
was divided
: and
part
held
with
the Jews
, and
part with
the apostles
.
And when
there was
an assault
made
both
of the Gentiles
, and also
of the Jews
with
their
rulers
, to use them despitefully
, and
to stone
them
,
They were ware of it , and fled
unto
Lystra
and
Derbe
, cities
of Lycaonia
, and
unto the region that lieth round about
:
And there they preached the gospel
.
And there sat
a certain
man
at
Lystra
, impotent
in his feet
, being
a cripple
from
his
mother's
womb
, who
never
had walked
:
The same heard
Paul
speak
: who
stedfastly beholding
him
, and
perceiving
that
he had
faith
to be healed
,
Said with a loud
voice
, Stand
upright
on
thy
feet
. And
he leaped
and
walked
.
And when the people
saw
what
Paul
had done
, they lifted up
their
voices
, saying
in the speech of Lycaonia
, The gods
are come down
to
us
in the likeness
of men
.
And they called
Barnabas
,
Jupiter
; and
Paul
, Mercurius
, because
he
was
the chief
speaker
.
Then the priest
of Jupiter
, which
was
before
their
city
, brought
oxen
and
garlands
unto
the gates
, and would
have done sacrifice
with
the people
.
Which when the apostles
, Barnabas
and
Paul
, heard
of , they rent
their
clothes
, and ran
in among
the people
, crying out
,
And saying
, Sirs
, why
do ye
these things
? We
also
are
men
of like passions
with you
, and preach
unto you
that ye should turn
from
these
vanities
unto
the living
God
, which
made
heaven
, and
earth
, and
the sea
, and
all things
that are therein
:
Who in
times
past
suffered
all
nations
to walk
in their own
ways
.
Nevertheless he left
not
himself
without witness
, in that he did good
, and gave
us
rain
from heaven
, and
fruitful
seasons
, filling
our
hearts
with food
and
gladness
.
And with these
sayings
scarce
restrained they
the people
, that they had
not
done sacrifice
unto them
.
And there came thither
certain Jews
from
Antioch
and
Iconium
, who
persuaded
the people
, and
, having stoned
Paul
, drew
him out of
the city
, supposing
he
had been dead
.
Howbeit, as the disciples
stood round about
him
, he rose up
, and came
into
the city
: and
the next day
he departed
with
Barnabas
to
Derbe
.
And when they had preached the gospel
to that
city
, and
had taught
many
, they returned again
to
Lystra
, and
to Iconium
, and
Antioch
,
Confirming the souls
of the disciples
, and exhorting them
to continue
in the faith
, and
that
we
must
through
much
tribulation
enter
into
the kingdom
of God
.
And when they had ordained
them
elders
in every
church
, and had prayed
with
fasting
, they commended
them
to the Lord
, on
whom
they believed
.
And after they had passed throughout
Pisidia
, they came
to
Pamphylia
.
And when they had preached
the word
in
Perga
, they went down
into
Attalia
:
And thence sailed
to
Antioch
, from whence
they had been
recommended
to the grace
of God
for
the work
which
they fulfilled
.
And when they were come
, and
had gathered
the church
together
, they rehearsed
all
that God
had done
with
them
, and
how
he had opened
the door
of faith
unto the Gentiles
.
And there
they abode
long
time
with
the disciples
.
