1 It happened and in Iconium, at the same to enter them into the synagogue of the Jews, and to speak so, that to believe of Jews and also Greeks a great multitude.
2 The but unbelieving Jews stirred up and imbittered the souls of the Gentiles against the brethren.
3 Considerable indeed then time they remained speaking freely about the Lord, that testifying to the word of the favor of himself, granting signs and prodigies to be done through the hands of them.
4 Was divided and the multitude of the city and these indeed were with the Jews, those and with the apostles.
5 As and was a rush of the Gentiles and also of Jews with the rulers of them, to insult and to stone them,
6 seeing they fled into the cities of the Lycaonia, Lystra and Derbe, and the surrounding country;
7 and there they were preaching glad tidings.
8 And a certain man in Lystra unable in the feet was sitting, lame from womb of mother of himself, who never had walked about.
9 This heard the Paul speaking; who having looked intently to him, and seeing that faith has of the to be saved,
10 said loud with the voice: Do thou stand upon the feet of the erect. And he leaped up, and walked about.
11 The and crowds, seeing what did the Paul, lifted up the voice of them, in Lycaonian language saying: The gods being like men came down to us.
12 They called and indeed Barnabas, Jupiter; the and Paul, Mercury; because he was the leader of the word.
13 The and priest of the Jupiter of that being before the city, bulls and garlands to the gates having brought, with the crowds wished to sacrifice.
14 Having heard and the apostles Barnabas and Paul, having rent the mantles of them, rushed out into the crowd, crying out,
15 and saying: Men, why these things do you? also we being like are to you men, announcing glad tidings you from these the superstitions to turn to the God the living, who made the heaven and the earth and the sea, and all the things in them;
16 who in the having gone by generations permitted all the nations to go in the ways of themselves.
17 Although indeed not without witness himself left, doing good, from heaven to you rains giving and seasons fruitful, being full of food and of joy the hearts of you.
18 And these things saying, hardly they restrained the crowds the not to sacrifice to them.
19 Came and from Antioch and Iconium Jews; and having persuaded the crowds, and having stoned the Paul, they dragged outside of the city, supposing him to be dead.
20 Surrounding and him the disciples, having arisen entered into the city. And on the morrow he went with the Barnabas into Derbe.
21 Having preached glad tidings and the city that, and having made disciples many, they returned to the Lystra and Iconium and Antioch;
22 confirming the souls of the disciples, exhorting to abide in the faith, and that through many afflictions it behooves us to enter into the kingdom of the God.
23 Having appointed and for them elders in every congregation, having prayed with fasting they commended them to the Lord, into whom they had believed.
24 And having passed through the Pisidia, they came into Pamphylia;
25 and having spoken in Perga the word, they went down into Attalia;
26 and thence they sailed into Antioch, whence they were having been commended to the favor of the God for the work, which they fulfilled.
27 Having arrived and and having assembled the congregation, they related what things did the God with them, and that he opened to the Gentiles a door of faith.
28 They remained and a time not a little with the disciples.
1 Paul and Barnabas entered the synagogue of the Jews at Iconium. There they spoke to a great crowd of Jews and Greeks who became believers.
2 The unbelieving Jews stirred up the people of the nations and poisoned their minds against the brothers.
3 The apostles stayed there for a long time. They spoke boldly by the authority of God who proved that their message about his grace was true by giving them the power to perform miracles and wonders.
4 The people of the city were divided. Some were for the Jews and others for the apostles.
5 Then some of the people of the nations and Jews, together with their leaders, decided to mistreat the apostles and stone them.
6 They knew about it and fled to Lystra and Derbe, cities of Lycaonia, and to the country around them.
7 They preached the good news there, too.
8 A man with crippled feet sat in Lystra. He had never walked for he was lame from birth.
9 He heard Paul speaking. Paul looked intently at him, and seeing that he had faith to be healed,
10 said with a loud voice: »Stand up on your feet!« And he leaped up and walked.
11 Seeing what Paul did, the crowd lifted up their voice, saying in Lycaonian: »The gods have come down to us, becoming like men.«
12 They called Barnabas, Jupiter; and Paul, Mercurius, because he was the chief speaker.
13 Then the priest of Jupiter whose temple was there in the city, brought cattle and garlands to the gates, and would have done sacrifice with the people.
14 When the apostles, Barnabas and Paul, heard of it, they ripped their clothes, and ran in among the people.
15 They said: »Sirs, why do you do these things? We are only men like you. We bring you good news. You should turn from these worthless things to the living God. He is the God who made heaven and earth, the sea and all things.
16 »In the past he let all nations to walk in their own ways.
17 »He has not left himself without witness. For he did good and gave us rain from heaven, and fruitful seasons, filling our hearts with food and gladness.«
18 Even with these words they found it hard to keep the crowd from sacrificing to them.
19 Jews from Antioch and Iconium took control of the crowd. They persuaded the people to stone Paul. Then they threw him out of the city, supposing him to be dead.
20 The disciples gathered around him and he stood up. They went into the city and the next day he departed with Barnabas to Derbe.
21 After they preached the good news to that city and taught many, they returned again to Lystra, Iconium, and Antioch.
22 They strengthened the disciples and encouraged them to continue in the faith. They said, »We must enter the kingdom of God through much tribulation.«
23 When they had ordained elders in every congregation they prayed with fasting. They commended them to God, on whom they believed.
24 After they passed through Pisidia, they came to Pamphylia.
25 After they had preached the word in Perga they went down into Attalia.
26 They sailed to Antioch, where they had been recommended to the grace of God for the work they completed.
27 The congregation gathered and reported all God had done with them how he had opened the door of faith to the nations.
28 They stayed with the disciples for a long time.
