AC-14:1 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.
AC-14:2 But the unbelieving Jews stirred up the Gentiles, and
made
their minds evil affected against the brethren.
AC-14:3 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.
AC-14:4 But the multitude of the city was divided: and part held
with the Jews, and part with the apostles.
AC-14:5 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,
AC-14:6 They were ware of [it], and fled unto Lystra and Derbe,
cities of Lycaonia, and unto the region that lieth round about:
AC-14:7 And there they preached the gospel.
AC-14:8 And there sat a certain man at Lystra, impotent in his
feet, being a cripple from his mother's womb, who never had
walked:
AC-14:9 The same heard Paul speak: who stedfastly beholding him,
and perceiving that he had faith to be healed,
AC-14:10 Said with a loud voice, Stand upright on thy feet. And
he
leaped and walked.
AC-14:11 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.
AC-14:12 And they called Barnabas, Jupiter; and Paul, Mercurius,
because he was the chief speaker.
AC-14:13 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.
AC-14:14 [Which] when the apostles, Barnabas and Paul, heard
[of],
they rent their clothes, and ran in among the people, crying out,
AC-14:15 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:
AC-14:16 Who in times past suffered all nations to walk in their
own ways.
AC-14:17 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.
AC-14:18 And with these sayings scarce restrained they the
people,
that they had not done sacrifice unto them.
AC-14:19 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.
AC-14:20 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.
AC-14:21 And when they had preached the gospel to that city, and
had taught many, they returned again to Lystra, and [to] Iconium,
and Antioch,
AC-14:22 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.
AC-14:23 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.
AC-14:24 And after they had passed throughout Pisidia, they
came to
Pamphylia.
AC-14:25 And when they had preached the word in Perga, they went
down into Attalia:
AC-14:26 And thence sailed to Antioch, from whence they had been
recommended to the grace of God for the work which they
fulfilled.
AC-14:27 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.
AC-14:28 And there they abode long time with the disciples.
