44_ACT_14_01 And it came to pass in Iconium, that they went both together into the synagogue of the Jews, and so spake, that a great multitude both of the Jews and also of the Greeks believed.
44_ACT_14_02 But the unbelieving Jews stirred up the Gentiles, and made their minds evil affected against the brethren.
44_ACT_14_03 Long time therefore abode they speaking boldly in the Lord, which gave testimony unto the word of his grace, and granted signs and wonders to be done by their hands.
44_ACT_14_04 But the multitude of the city was divided: and part held with the Jews, and part with the apostles.
44_ACT_14_05 And when there was an assault made both of the Gentiles, and also of the Jews with their rulers, to use [them] despitefully, and to stone them,
44_ACT_14_06 They were ware of [it], and fled unto Lystra and Derbe, cities of Lycaonia, and unto the region that lieth round about:
44_ACT_14_07 And there they preached the gospel.
44_ACT_14_08 And there sat a certain man at Lystra, impotent in his feet, being a cripple from his mother's womb, who never had walked:
44_ACT_14_09 The same heard Paul speak: who stedfastly beholding him, and perceiving that he had faith to be healed,
44_ACT_14_10 Said with a loud voice, Stand upright on thy feet. And he leaped and walked.
44_ACT_14_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.
44_ACT_14_12 And they called Barnabas, Jupiter; and Paul, Mercurius, because he was the chief speaker.
44_ACT_14_13 Then the priest of Jupiter, which was before their city, brought oxen and garlands unto the gates, and would have done sacrifice with the people.
44_ACT_14_14 [Which] when the apostles, Barnabas and Paul, heard [of], they rent their clothes, and ran in among the people, crying out,
44_ACT_14_15 And saying, Sirs, why do ye these things? We also are men of like passions with you, and preach unto you that ye should turn from these vanities unto the living God, which made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and all things that are therein:
44_ACT_14_16 Who in times past suffered all nations to walk in their own ways.
44_ACT_14_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.
44_ACT_14_18 And with these sayings scarce restrained they the people, that they had not done sacrifice unto them.
44_ACT_14_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.
44_ACT_14_20 Howbeit, 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.
44_ACT_14_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,
44_ACT_14_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.
44_ACT_14_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.
44_ACT_14_24 And after they had passed throughout Pisidia, they came to Pamphylia.
44_ACT_14_25 And when they had preached the word in Perga, they went down into Attalia:
44_ACT_14_26 And thence sailed to Antioch, from whence they had been recommended to the grace of God for the work which they fulfilled.
44_ACT_14_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 unto the Gentiles.
44_ACT_14_28 And there they abode long time with the disciples.
