Paul and Barnabas in Iconium
1#Ac 18:4; 13:46At Iconium they entered the synagogue of the Jews together and so spoke that a great crowd of both Jews and Greeks believed. 2#Ac 13:50; 13:45But the unbelieving Jews stirred up the Gentiles and embittered their minds against the brothers. 3#Heb 2:4; Ac 20:32So they continued there a long time, speaking boldly for the Lord, who bore witness to His gracious word, granting signs and wonders to be done by their hands. 4#Ac 28:24; 14:14But the people of the city were divided. Some sided with the Jews, and others with the apostles. 5#Ac 14:19When an assault was planned by both Gentiles and Jews, with their leaders, to attack them and to stone them, 6#Mt 10:23; 2Ti 3:11they learned of it and fled to Lystra and Derbe, cities of Lycaonia, and to the surrounding region. 7#Ac 14:21And there they preached the gospel.
Paul and Barnabas in Lystra
8#Ac 3:2In Lystra there sat a man, crippled in his feet, who had never walked and was lame from birth. 9#Mt 9:28–29; Ac 3:4He heard Paul speaking, who looked intently at him and perceived that he had faith to be healed 10#Isa 35:6and said with a loud voice, “Stand upright on your feet.” And he jumped up and walked.
11#Ac 8:10; 28:6When 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#Ac 19:35Barnabas they called Zeus, and Paul they called Hermes, because he was the main speaker. 13#Da 2:46The priest of Zeus, who was in front of the city, brought bulls and garlands to the gates to offer sacrifices with the crowds.
14#Mt 26:65; Ac 14:4But when the apostles Barnabas and Paul heard this, they tore their clothes and rushed out into the crowd, crying out, 15#1Sa 12:21; Jer 14:22“Men, why are you doing this? We also are men, of like nature with you, preaching to you to turn from these vain things to the living God, who made the heaven and the earth and the sea, and everything that is in them, 16#Ac 17:30; Ps 81:12who in times past allowed all nations to walk in their own ways. 17#Dt 11:14; Job 5:10Yet He did not leave Himself without witness, for He did good and gave us rain from heaven and fruitful seasons, satisfying our hearts with food and gladness.” 18With these words they scarcely restrained the crowds from sacrificing to them.
19#Ac 13:45; 2Co 11:25Then some Jews from Antioch and Iconium came there and persuaded the crowds. They stoned Paul and dragged him out of the city, supposing he was dead. 20#Ac 14:6But as the disciples gathered around him, he rose up and went into the city. The next day he departed with Barnabas for Derbe.
The Return to Antioch in Syria
21#Ac 13:51; 14:19When they had preached the gospel to that city and had made many disciples, they returned to Lystra and to Iconium and to Antioch, 22#Jn 16:33; 2Ti 3:12strengthening the minds of the disciples and exhorting them to continue in the faith, to go through many afflictions and thus enter the kingdom of God. 23#Titus 1:5; Ac 11:30; 20:32When they had appointed elders for them in every church, with prayer and fasting, they commended them to the Lord in whom they believed. 24#Ac 13:13–14Then they passed throughout Pisidia and came to Pamphylia, 25and when they had preached the word in Perga, they went down into Attalia.
26#Ac 15:40; 11:19From there they sailed to Antioch, where they had been commended to the grace of God for the work which they had completed. 27#Ac 15:12; 1Co 16:9When they arrived and had assembled the church, they reported what God had done through them and how He had opened the door of faith to the Gentiles. 28#Ac 11:26And there they stayed a long time with the disciples.

The Acts 14
14
1And it came to pass in Iconium, that they entered together into the synagogue of the Jews, and so spake, that a great multitude both of Jews and of Greeks believed. 2But the Jews that were disobedient stirred up the souls of the Gentiles, and made them evil affected against the brethren. 3Long time therefore they tarried there speaking boldly in the Lord, which bare witness unto the word of his grace, granting signs and wonders to be done by their hands. 4But the multitude of the city was divided; and part held with the Jews, and part with the apostles. 5And when there was made an onset both of the Gentiles and of the Jews with their rulers, to entreat them shamefully, and to stone them, 6they became aware of it, and fled unto the cities of Lycaonia, Lystra and Derbe, and the region round about: 7and there they preached the gospel.
8And at Lystra there sat a certain man, impotent in his feet, a cripple from his mother's womb, who never had walked. 9The same heard Paul speaking: who, fastening his eyes upon him, and seeing that he had faith to be made whole, 10said with a loud voice, Stand upright on thy feet. And he leaped up and walked. 11And when the multitudes saw what Paul had done, they lifted up their voice, saying in the speech of Lycaonia, The gods are come down to us in the likeness of men. 12And they called Barnabas, Jupiter; and Paul, Mercury, because he was the chief speaker. 13And the priest of Jupiter whose temple was before the city, brought oxen and garlands unto the gates, and would have done sacrifice with the multitudes. 14But when the apostles, Barnabas and Paul, heard of it, they rent their garments, and sprang forth among the multitude, crying out 15and saying, Sirs, why do ye these things? We also are men of like passions with you, and bring you good tidings, that ye should turn from these vain things unto the living God, who made the heaven and the earth and the sea, and all that in them is: 16who in the generations gone by suffered all the nations to walk in their own ways. 17And yet he left not himself without witness, in that he did good, and gave you from heaven rains and fruitful seasons, filling your hearts with food and gladness. 18And with these sayings scarce restrained they the multitudes from doing sacrifice unto them.
19But there came Jews thither from Antioch and Iconium: and having persuaded the multitudes, they stoned Paul, and dragged him out of the city, supposing that he was dead. 20But as the disciples stood round about him, he rose up, and entered into the city: and on the morrow he went forth with Barnabas to Derbe. 21And when they had preached the gospel to that city, and had made many disciples, they returned to Lystra, and to Iconium, and to Antioch, 22confirming the souls of the disciples, exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that through many tribulations we must enter into the kingdom of God. 23And when they had appointed for them elders in every church, and had prayed with fasting, they commended them to the Lord, on whom they had believed. 24And they passed through Pisidia, and came to Pamphylia. 25And when they had spoken the word in Perga, they went down to Attalia; 26and thence they sailed to Antioch, from whence they had been committed to the grace of God for the work which they had fulfilled. 27And when they were come, and had gathered the church together, they rehearsed all things that God had done with them, and how that he had opened a door of faith unto the Gentiles. 28And they tarried no little time with the disciples.
