1 Now it came to pass in Iconium, according to the same, [that] they entered into the synagogue of the Jews and spoke so that a large multitude of both Jews and Greeks believed. VP
2 But the unbelieving Jews stirred up and poisoned the souls of the Gentiles against the brothers. VP
3 Therefore indeed they stayed a long time, speaking boldly for the Lord, the [One] testifying to the word of His grace, granting signs and wonders to be done through their hands. VP
4 But the multitude of the city was divided, and indeed some were with the Jews, but some with the apostles. VP
5 And as there was a rush of both the Gentiles and Jews, with their rulers, to mistreat and to stone them, VP
6 having become aware, they fled to the Lycaonian cities Lystra and Derbe, and the surrounding region, VP
7 and there they were preaching the gospel. VP
8 And a certain man in Lystra, powerless in the feet, was sitting, lame from [the] womb of his mother—who had never walked. VP
9 This [man] heard Paul speaking, who, having looked intently at him and having seen that he has faith to be saved, VP
10 said in a great voice, “Stand upright on your feet!” And he sprang up, and he was walking. VP
11 And the crowds, having seen what Paul had done, lifted up their voice in Lycaonian, saying, “The gods, having become like men, have come down to us!” VP
12 And Barnabas they were calling Zeus; and Paul, Hermes, because he was the leading speaker. VP
13 And the priest of Zeus, being before the city, having brought oxen and wreaths to the gates, with the crowds was desiring to sacrifice. VP
14 But having heard, the apostles Barnabas and Paul, having torn their garments, rushed out into the crowd, crying out VP
15 and saying, “Men, why do you⁺ do these things? We also are men of like nature with you⁺, proclaiming the gospel to you⁺ to turn from these vain [things] to [the] living God, who made the heaven and the earth and the sea and all the things in them, VP
16 who in the generations past allowed all the nations to go their ways. VP
17 And yet He did not leave Himself without witness, doing good, giving to you⁺ rains from heaven and fruitful seasons, filling your⁺ hearts with food and gladness.” VP
18 And saying these things, they hardly stopped the crowds from sacrificing to them. VP
19 But Jews came from Antioch and Iconium, and having persuaded the crowds, and having stoned Paul, they were dragging [him] outside the city, supposing him to have died. VP
20 But the disciples having surrounded him, having risen up, he entered into the city. And on the next day he went out with Barnabas to Derbe. VP
21 And having proclaimed the gospel to that city and having discipled many, they returned to Lystra and to Iconium and to Antioch, VP
22 strengthening the souls of the disciples, exhorting [them] to remain in the faith, and that, “through many tribulations it is necessary for us to enter into the kingdom of God.” VP
23 And having appointed elders for them in every church, having prayed, with fasting they committed them to the Lord, in whom they had believed. VP
24 And having passed through Pisidia, they came to Pamphylia, VP
25 and having spoken the word in Perga, they went down to Attalia. VP
26 And from there they sailed to Antioch, from where they had been delivered to the grace of God for the work that they had fulfilled. VP
27 And having arrived and having gathered together the church, they were reporting all that God had done with them, and that He had opened a door of faith to the Gentiles. VP
28 And they were staying no little time with the disciples. VP
