# ***ACTS 14***

---

*Paul and Barnabas at Iconium*

\[1\] Now at Iconium they entered together into the Jewish synagogue and spoke in such a way that a great number of both Jews and Greeks believed. \[2\] But the unbelieving Jews stirred up the Gentiles and poisoned their minds against the brothers. \[3\] So they remained for a long time, speaking boldly for the Lord, who bore witness to the word of his grace, granting signs and wonders to be done by their hands. \[4\] But the people of the city were divided; some sided with the Jews and some with the apostles. \[5\] When an attempt was made by both Gentiles and Jews, with their rulers, to mistreat them and to stone them, \[6\] they learned of it and fled to Lystra and Derbe, cities of Lycaonia, and to the surrounding country, \[7\] and there they continued to preach the gospel.

*Paul and Barnabas at Lystra*

\[8\] Now at Lystra there was a man sitting who could not use his feet. He was crippled from birth and had never walked. \[9\] He listened to Paul speaking. And Paul, looking intently at him and seeing that he had faith to be made well, \[10\] said in a loud voice, “Stand upright on your feet.” And he sprang up and began walking. \[11\] And when the crowds saw what Paul had done, they lifted up their voices, saying in Lycaonian, “The gods have come down to us in the likeness of men!” \[12\] Barnabas they called Zeus, and Paul, Hermes, because he was the chief speaker. \[13\] And the priest of Zeus, whose temple was at the entrance to the city, brought oxen and garlands to the gates and wanted to offer sacrifice with the crowds. \[14\] But when the apostles Barnabas and Paul heard of it, they tore their garments and rushed out into the crowd, crying out, \[15\] “Men, why are you doing these things? We also are men, of like nature with you, and we bring you good news, that you should turn from these vain things to a living God, who made the heaven and the earth and the sea and all that is in them. \[16\] In past generations he allowed all the nations to walk in their own ways. \[17\] Yet he did not leave himself without witness, for he did good by giving you rains from heaven and fruitful seasons, satisfying your hearts with food and gladness.” \[18\] Even with these words they scarcely restrained the people from offering sacrifice to them.

*Paul Stoned at Lystra*

\[19\] But Jews came from Antioch and Iconium, and having persuaded the crowds, they stoned Paul and dragged him out of the city, supposing that he was dead. \[20\] But when the disciples gathered about him, he rose up and entered the city, and on the next day he went on with Barnabas to Derbe. \[21\] When they had preached the gospel to that city and had made many disciples, they returned to Lystra and to Iconium and to Antioch, \[22\] strengthening the souls of the disciples, encouraging them to continue in the faith, and saying that through many tribulations we must enter the kingdom of God. \[23\] And when they had appointed elders for them in every church, with prayer and fasting they committed them to the Lord in whom they had believed.

*Paul and Barnabas Return to Antioch in Syria*

\[24\] Then they passed through Pisidia and came to Pamphylia. \[25\] And when they had spoken the word in Perga, they went down to Attalia, \[26\] and from there they sailed to Antioch, where they had been commended to the grace of God for the work that they had fulfilled. \[27\] And when they arrived and gathered the church together, they declared all that God had done with them, and how he had opened a door of faith to the Gentiles. \[28\] And they remained no little time with the disciples.
