Paul Stoned at Lystra
19 (A)But Jews came from Antioch and Iconium, and having persuaded the crowds, (B)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 (C)made many disciples, they returned to Lystra and to Iconium and to Antioch, 22 (D)strengthening the souls of the disciples, encouraging them (E)to continue in (F)the faith, and saying that (G)through many tribulations we must enter the kingdom of God. 23 And when they had (H)appointed (I)elders for them in every church, with prayer and fasting (J)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, (K)where they had been (L)commended to the grace of God for the work that they had fulfilled. 27 And when they arrived and gathered the church together, (M)they declared all that God had done with them, and (N)how he had (O)opened (P)a door of faith to the Gentiles. 28 And they remained no little time with the disciples.
The Jerusalem Council
15 (Q)But some men came down from Judea and were teaching (R)the brothers, “Unless you are (S)circumcised (T)according to the custom of Moses, you cannot be saved.” 2 And after Paul and Barnabas had no small dissension and (U)debate with them, Paul and Barnabas and (V)some of the others were appointed to go up to Jerusalem to (W)the apostles and the elders about this question. 3 So, (X)being sent on their way by the church, they passed through both Phoenicia and Samaria, (Y)describing in detail the conversion of the Gentiles, and (Z)brought great joy to all (AA)the brothers.[a] 4 (AB)When they came to Jerusalem, they were welcomed by the church and (AC)the apostles and the elders, and (AD)they declared all that God had done with them. 5 But some believers who belonged to (AE)the party of the Pharisees rose up and said, (AF)“It is necessary (AG)to circumcise them and to order them to keep the law of Moses.”

19 Then some Jews(A) came from Antioch and Iconium(B) and won the crowd over. They stoned Paul(C) and dragged him outside the city, thinking he was dead. 20 But after the disciples(D) had gathered around him, he got up and went back into the city. The next day he and Barnabas left for Derbe.
The Return to Antioch in Syria
21 They preached the gospel(E) in that city and won a large number(F) of disciples. Then they returned to Lystra, Iconium(G) and Antioch, 22 strengthening the disciples and encouraging them to remain true to the faith.(H) “We must go through many hardships(I) to enter the kingdom of God,” they said. 23 Paul and Barnabas appointed elders[a](J) for them in each church and, with prayer and fasting,(K) committed them to the Lord,(L) in whom they had put their trust. 24 After going through Pisidia, they came into Pamphylia,(M) 25 and when they had preached the word in Perga, they went down to Attalia.
26 From Attalia they sailed back to Antioch,(N) where they had been committed to the grace of God(O) for the work they had now completed.(P) 27 On arriving there, they gathered the church together and reported all that God had done through them(Q) and how he had opened a door(R) of faith to the Gentiles. 28 And they stayed there a long time with the disciples.(S)
The Council at Jerusalem
15 Certain people(T) came down from Judea to Antioch and were teaching the believers:(U) “Unless you are circumcised,(V) according to the custom taught by Moses,(W) you cannot be saved.” 2 This brought Paul and Barnabas into sharp dispute and debate with them. So Paul and Barnabas were appointed, along with some other believers, to go up to Jerusalem(X) to see the apostles and elders(Y) about this question. 3 The church sent them on their way, and as they traveled through Phoenicia(Z) and Samaria, they told how the Gentiles had been converted.(AA) This news made all the believers very glad. 4 When they came to Jerusalem, they were welcomed by the church and the apostles and elders, to whom they reported everything God had done through them.(AB)
5 Then some of the believers who belonged to the party(AC) of the Pharisees(AD) stood up and said, “The Gentiles must be circumcised and required to keep the law of Moses.”(AE)
