28 And they stayed there a long
time with the disciples. (1)
147
27 On
arriving there, they gathered the church together and reported all that God had
done through them and how
He(Jesus) had opened a door of faith to the
Gentiles. (9)
369
18 Even
with these words, they had difficulty keeping the crowd from sacrificing to
them. (9)
19 Then some Jews came
from Antioch and Iconium
and won the crowd over. They stoned Paul and dragged him outside the city, thinking
he was dead.
20 But after the
disciples had gathered around him, he got up and went back into the city. The next day he and Barnabas
left for Derbe.
258
9 He
listened to Paul as he was speaking. Paul looked directly at him, saw that he
had faith to be healed (9)
10 and called out, “Stand up on your feet!” At that, the man
jumped up and began to walk.
11 When the crowd saw
what Paul had done, they shouted in the Lycaonian language, “The gods have come
down to us in human form!”
258
24 After
going through Pisidia, they came into Pamphylia, (6)
25 and when they had
preached the word in Perga, they went down to Attalia.
26 From Attalia they
sailed back to Antioch,
where they had been committed to the grace of God for the work they had now
completed.
138
15 “Friends,
why are you doing this? We too are only human, like you. We are bringing you good news,
telling you to turn from these worthless things to the living God, who made the
heavens and the earth and the sea and everything in them. (6)
16 In the past, he let
all nations go their own way.
17 Yet He has not left
Himself without testimony: He
has shown kindness by giving you rain from heaven and crops in their seasons; He
provides you with plenty of food and fills your hearts with joy.”
138
6 But
they found out about it and fled to the Lycaonian cities of Lystra and Derbe
and to the surrounding country,
(6)
7 where they continued to preach the gospel.
In Lystra and Derbe
8 In Lystra there sat a man who was lame. He had been that way
from birth and had never walked.
138
The Return to
Antioch in Syria
21 They
preached the gospel in that city and won a large number of disciples. Then they
returned to Lystra, Iconium and Antioch,
(3)
22 strengthening the
disciples and encouraging them to remain true to the faith. “We must go through many hardships to enter the Kingdom
of God,”
they said.
23 Paul and Barnabas
appointed elders for them in each church and, with prayer and
fasting, committed them to the Lord, in whom they had put their trust.
258
12 Barnabas
they called Zeus, and Paul they called Hermes because he was the chief speaker. (3)
13 The priest of Zeus,
whose temple was just outside the city, brought bulls and wreaths to the city
gates because he and the crowd wanted to offer sacrifices to them.
14 But when the
apostles Barnabas and Paul heard of this, they tore their clothes and rushed out into the
crowd, shouting:
258
In Iconium
14 At Iconium Paul and
Barnabas went as usual into the Jewish synagogue. There they spoke so
effectively that a great number of Jews and Greeks believed.
2 But the Jews who refused to
believe stirred up the other Gentiles and poisoned their minds against the
brothers.
3 So
Paul and Barnabas spent considerable time there, speaking boldly for the Lord,
who confirmed the message of His Grace by enabling them to perform signs and
wonders.
(3)
4 The people of the
city were divided; some sided with the Jews, others with the apostles.
5 There was a plot afoot among
both Gentiles and Jews, together with their leaders, to mistreat them and stone
them.
