1 In Iconium, they entered together into the synagogue of the Jews, and so spoke that a great multitude both of Jews and of Greeks believed. 2 But the disbelieving Jews stirred up and embittered the souls of the Gentiles against the brothers. 3 Therefore they stayed there a long time, speaking boldly in the Lord, who testified to the word of his grace, granting signs and wonders to be done by their hands. 4 But the multitude of the city was divided. Part sided with the Jews and part with the apostles. 5 When some of both the Gentiles and the Jews, with their rulers, made a violent attempt to mistreat and stone them, 6 they became aware of it and fled to the cities of Lycaonia, Lystra, Derbe, and the surrounding region. 7 There they preached the Good News.
8 At Lystra a certain man sat, impotent in his feet, a cripple from his mother’s womb, who never had walked. 9 He was listening to Paul speaking, who, fastening eyes on him and seeing that he had faith to be made whole, 10 said with a loud voice, "Stand upright on your feet!" He leaped up and walked. 11 When the multitude saw what Paul had done, they lifted up their voice, saying in the language of Lycaonia, "The gods have come down to us in the likeness of men!" 12 They called Barnabas "Jupiter", and Paul "Mercury", because he was the chief speaker. 13 The priest of Jupiter, whose temple was in front of their city, brought oxen and garlands to the gates, and would have made a sacrifice along with the multitudes.
14 But when the apostles, Barnabas and Paul, heard of it, they tore their clothes and sprang into the multitude, crying out, 15 "Men, why are you doing these things? We also are men of the same nature as you, and bring you good news, that you should turn from these vain things to the living God, who made the sky, the earth, the sea, and all that is in them; 16 who in the generations gone by allowed all the nations to walk in their own ways. 17 Yet he didn’t leave himself without witness, in that he did good and gave you rains from the sky and fruitful seasons, filling our hearts with food and gladness."
18 Even saying these things, they hardly stopped the multitudes from making a sacrifice to them. 19 But some Jews from Antioch and Iconium came there, and having persuaded the multitudes, they stoned Paul and dragged him out of the city, supposing that he was dead.
20 But as the disciples stood around him, he rose up, and entered into the city. On the next day he went out with Barnabas to Derbe.
21 When they had preached the Good News to that city and had made many disciples, they returned to Lystra, Iconium, and Antioch, 22 strengthening the souls of the disciples, exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that through many afflictions we must enter into God’s Kingdom. 23 When they had appointed elders for them in every assembly, and had prayed with fasting, they commended them to the Lord on whom they had believed.
24 They passed through Pisidia and came to Pamphylia. 25 When they had spoken the word in Perga, they went down to Attalia. 26 From there they sailed to Antioch, from where they had been committed to the grace of God for the work which they had fulfilled. 27 When they had arrived and had gathered the assembly together, they reported all the things that God had done with them, and that he had opened a door of faith to the nations. 28 They stayed there with the disciples for a long time.
1 保罗和巴拿巴在以哥念照样进犹太的会堂讲道， 结果一大群犹太人和希腊人都信了。
2 但不顺从的犹太人， 煽动外族人， 激起他们仇恨的心， 来反对弟兄们。
3 两人却仍住了很久， 靠着主放胆讲论， 主也借着他们的手行神迹奇事， 证实他恩惠的道。
4 城里众人就分裂了， 有的附从犹太人， 也有的附从使徒。
5 当时， 外族人、犹太人， 和他们的首领， 蠢蠢欲动， 想要侮辱使徒， 用石头打他们。
6 两人知道了， 就逃往吕高尼的路司得和特庇两城， 以及周围的地方，
7 在那里传福音。
8 路司得城有一个双脚无力的人， 坐在那里。他生来就是瘸腿的， 从来没有走过路。
9 他听保罗讲道； 保罗注视他， 见他有信心， 可以治好，
10 就大声说： "你起来， 两脚站直！ "他就跳起来， 并且走起路来。
11 众人看见保罗所作的事， 就用吕高尼话大声说： "有神明成了人形， 降到我们这里来了！ "
12 于是他们称巴拿巴为宙斯， 称保罗为汉密士， 因为保罗带头讲话。
13 城门前宙斯庙的祭司， 牵着几头公牛， 拿着一些花圈来到门口， 要同群众一起献祭。
14 巴拿巴和保罗两个使徒听见了， 就撕裂衣服， 跳进群众中间， 喊着说：
15 "各位， 为什么这样作呢？我们也是人， 性情和你们一样， 我们传福音给你们， 正是要你们远离这些虚妄的事， 归向永活的 神， 就是那创造天、地、海和其中万物的 神。
16 在从前的世代里， 他容忍万国各行其道，
17 然而却未尝不为自己留下明证， 就如常常行善事， 从天上降下雨来， 常常赏赐丰年， 使你们吃喝充足， 满心欢乐。"
18 两人说完了这些话， 这才阻止群众， 不向他们献祭。
19 但有些犹太人， 从安提阿、以哥念来， 挑唆群众， 用石头打保罗， 以为他死了， 就拖到城外去。
20 门徒正围着他的时候， 他竟然站起来， 走进城里去了。第二天， 他跟巴拿巴一同到特庇去。
21 他们在那城里传福音， 使许多人作了门徒， 然后回到路司得、以哥念、安提阿，
22 坚固门徒的心， 劝他们恒守所信的道， 又说： "我们进入 神的国， 必须经历许多苦难。"
23 两人在各教会为他们指派了长老； 禁食祈祷之后， 就把他们交托给所信的主。
24 两人经过彼西底， 来到旁非利亚，
25 在别加讲道以后， 就下到亚大利。
26 从那里坐船往安提阿。从前众人就是在这地方， 把他们交托在 神的恩典中， 派他们去工作， 现在他们已经完成了。
27 他们到了那里， 就召集了会众， 报告 神跟他们一起所行的一切， 并且他为外族人开了信道的门。
28 两人同门徒住了不少日子。
