14:1-7
|
At Iconium Paul and Barnabas went as usual into the Jewish
synagogue. There they spoke so effectively that a great number of
Jews and Gentiles believed. But the Jews who refused to believe
stirred up the Gentiles and poisoned their minds against the
brothers.
So Paul and Barnabas spent considerable time there,
speaking boldly for the Lord, who confirmed the message of his grace
by enabling them to do miraculous signs and wonders.
The people
of the city were divided; some sided with the Jews, others with the
apostles. There was a plot afoot among the Gentiles and Jews,
together with their leaders, to mistreat them and stone them.
But they
found out about it and fled to the Lycaonian cities of Lystra and
Derbe and to the surrounding country, where they continued to preach
the good news.
