1 ¶ Now in Iconium, Paul and Barnabas went to the Jewish synagogue together, and spoke so effectively, that a great number of Jews and Greeks believed.

2 But the unbelieving Jews stirred up the Gentiles, and poisoned their minds against the brethren.

3 So Paul and Barnabas stayed there for a long time speaking boldly in the Lord, who confirmed the message of his grace, by granting that signs and wonders be done by their hands.

4 But the people of the city were divided: and some sided with the Jews, while others sided with the apostles.

5 And when an attempt was made by both the Gentiles, and the Jews together with their leaders, to assault them, and to stone them,

6 They were aware of it, and fled to the Lycaonian cities of Lystra and Derbe, and to the surrounding region:

7 And there they preached the gospel.

8 ¶ Now in Lystra sat a man, whose feet were crippled, who was lame from his mother’s womb, and had never walked:

9 This man was listening to Paul speak: who looking directly at him, and realizing that he had faith to be healed,

10 Said with a loud voice, Stand upright on your feet. And he jumped up and walked.

11 And when the people saw what Paul had done, they shouted, in the language of Lycaonia, The gods have come down to us in the likeness of men.

12 And they called Barnabas, Jupiter; and Paul, Mercury, because he was the chief speaker.

13 Then the priest of Jupiter, whose temple was just outside their city, brought oxen and garlands to the gates, and wanted to join the people in offering sacrifice.

14 But when the apostles, Barnabas and Paul, heard of it, they tore their clothes, and ran into the crowd, shouting,

15 Men, why are you doing this? We too are men of the same nature as you, and preach that you should turn from these fantasies to the living God, who made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and everything in them:

16 Who in the past allowed all nations to go their own way.

17 Nevertheless he did not leave himself without witness, in that he has shown kindness, and given us rain from heaven, and fruitful seasons, satisfying our hearts with food and gladness.

18 And with these words they barely restrained the people, from offering sacrifice to them.

19 ¶ Then some Jews came from Antioch and Iconium, and having won over the people, stoned Paul, and dragged him out of the city, thinking he was dead.

20 However, as the disciples stood around him, he got up, and went into the city: and the next day he and Barnabas left for Derbe.

21 And after they had preached the gospel to that city, and instructed many, they then returned to Lystra, and Iconium, and Antioch,

22 Strengthening the souls of the disciples, encouraging them to continue in the faith, and telling them that we must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God.

23 Then after they had ordained elders for them in every congregation, and had prayed with fasting, they commended them to the Lord, in whom they had put their trust.

24 And after they passed throughout Pisidia, they came to Pamphylia.

25 And when they had preached the word in Perga, they went down to Attalia:

26 And from there sailed to Antioch, where they had been entrusted to the grace of God for the work that they had carried out.

27 And when they arrived, and had gathered the congregation together, they told them everything that God had done through them, and how he had opened the door of faith to the Gentiles.

28 And they stayed there with the disciples for a long time.
