1 E aconteceu que em Icônio entraram juntos na sinagoga dos judeus, e falaram de tal modo que creu uma grande multidão, não só de judeus mas de gregos.
2 Mas os judeus incrédulos incitaram e irritaram, contra os irmãos, os ânimos dos gentios.
3 Detiveram-se, pois, muito tempo, falando ousadamente acerca do Senhor, o qual dava testemunho à palavra da sua graça, permitindo que por suas mãos se fizessem sinais e prodígios.
4 E dividiu-se a multidão da cidade; e uns eram pelos judeus, e outros pelos apóstolos.
5 E havendo um motim, tanto dos judeus como dos gentios, com os seus principais, para os insultarem e apedrejarem,
6 Sabendo-o eles, fugiram para Listra e Derbe, cidades de Licaônia, e para a província circunvizinha;
7 E ali pregavam o evangelho.
8 E estava assentado em Listra certo homem leso dos pés, coxo desde o ventre de sua mãe, o qual nunca tinha andado.
9 Este ouviu falar Paulo, que, fixando nele os olhos, e vendo que tinha fé para ser curado,
10 Disse em voz alta: Levanta-te direito sobre teus pés. E ele saltou e andou.
11 E as multidões, vendo o que Paulo fizera, levantaram a sua voz, dizendo em língua licaônica: Fizeram-se os deuses semelhantes aos homens, e desceram até nós.
12 E chamavam Júpiter a Barnabé, e Mercúrio a Paulo; porque este era o que falava.
13 E o sacerdote de Júpiter, cujo templo estava em frente da cidade, trazendo para a entrada da porta touros e grinaldas, queria com a multidão sacrificar-lhes.
14 Ouvindo, porém, isto os apóstolos Barnabé e Paulo, rasgaram as suas vestes, e saltaram para o meio da multidão, clamando,
15 E dizendo: Senhores, por que fazeis essas coisas? Nós também somos homens como vós, sujeitos às mesmas paixões, e vos anunciamos que vos convertais dessas vaidades ao Deus vivo, que fez o céu, e a terra, o mar, e tudo quanto há neles;
16 O qual nos tempos passados deixou andar todas as nações em seus próprios caminhos.
17 E contudo, não se deixou a si mesmo sem testemunho, beneficiando-vos lá do céu, dando-vos chuvas e tempos frutíferos, enchendo de mantimento e de alegria os vossos corações.
18 E, dizendo isto, com dificuldade impediram que as multidões lhes sacrificassem.
19 Sobrevieram, porém, uns judeus de Antioquia e de Icônio que, tendo convencido a multidão, apedrejaram a Paulo e o arrastaram para fora da cidade, cuidando que estava morto.
20 Mas, rodeando-o os discípulos, levantou-se, e entrou na cidade, e no dia seguinte saiu com Barnabé para Derbe.
21 E, tendo anunciado o evangelho naquela cidade e feito muitos discípulos, voltaram para Listra, e Icônio e Antioquia,
22 Confirmando os ânimos dos discípulos, exortando-os a permanecer na fé, pois que por muitas tribulações nos importa entrar no reino de Deus.
23 E, havendo-lhes, por comum consentimento, eleito anciãos em cada igreja, orando com jejuns, os encomendaram ao Senhor em quem haviam crido.
24 Passando depois por Pisídia, dirigiram-se a Panfília.
25 E, tendo anunciado a palavra em Perge, desceram a Atália.
26 E dali navegaram para Antioquia, de onde tinham sido encomendados à graça de Deus para a obra que já haviam cumprido.
27 E, quando chegaram e reuniram a igreja, relataram quão grandes coisas Deus fizera por eles, e como abrira aos gentios a porta da fé.
28 E ficaram ali não pouco tempo com os discípulos.
1 And it came to pass in Iconium, that they went both together into the synagogue of the Jews, and so spoke, that a great multitude both of the Jews and also of the Greeks believed.
2 But the unbelieving Jews stirred up the Gentiles, and made their minds evil affected against the brothers.
3 Long time therefore stayed they speaking boldly in the Lord, which gave testimony to the word of his grace, and granted signs and wonders to be done by their hands.
4 But the multitude of the city was divided: and part held with the Jews, and part with the apostles.
5 And when there was an assault made both of the Gentiles, and also of the Jews with their rulers, to use them spitefully, and to stone them,
6 They were ware of it, and fled to Lystra and Derbe, cities of Lycaonia, and to the region that lies round about:
7 And there they preached the gospel.
8 And there sat a certain man at Lystra, weak in his feet, being a cripple from his mother' womb, who never had walked:
9 The same heard Paul speak: who steadfastly beholding him, and perceiving that he had faith to be healed,
10 Said with a loud voice, Stand upright on your feet. And he leaped and walked.
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.
12 And they called Barnabas, Jupiter; and Paul, Mercurius, because he was the chief speaker.
13 Then the priest of Jupiter, which was before their city, brought oxen and garlands to the gates, and would have done sacrifice with the people.
14 Which when the apostles, Barnabas and Paul, heard of, they rent their clothes, and ran in among the people, crying out,
15 And saying, Sirs, why do you these things? We also are men of like passions with you, and preach to you that you should turn from these vanities to the living God, which made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and all things that are therein:
16 Who in times past suffered all nations to walk in their own ways.
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.
18 And with these sayings scarce restrained they the people, that they had not done sacrifice to them.
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.
20 However,, 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.
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,
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.
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.
24 And after they had passed throughout Pisidia, they came to Pamphylia.
25 And when they had preached the word in Perga, they went down into Attalia:
26 And there sailed to Antioch, from where they had been recommended to the grace of God for the work which they fulfilled.
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 to the Gentiles.
28 And there they stayed long time with the disciples.
