⁵⁷ Then they cried out with a loud voice, stopped their ears, and ran at him with one accord; ⁵⁸ and they cast him out of the city and stoned him. And ^(A)the witnesses laid down their clothes at the feet of a young man named Saul.

⁵⁰ But the Jews stirred up the devout and prominent women and the chief men of the city, ^(A)raised up persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and expelled them from their region.

⁴ But the multitude of the city was ^(A)divided: part sided with the Jews, and part with the ^(B)apostles. ⁵ And when a violent attempt was made by both the Gentiles and Jews, with their rulers, ^(C)to abuse and stone them,

Stoning, Escape to Derbe

^19 (A)Then Jews from Antioch and Iconium came there; and having persuaded the multitudes, ^(B)they stoned Paul and dragged him out of the city, supposing him to be ^(C)dead.

¹⁹ But ^(A)when her masters saw that their hope of profit was gone, they seized Paul and Silas and ^(B)dragged them into the marketplace to the authorities.

²⁰ And they brought them to the magistrates, and said, “These men, being Jews, ^(C)exceedingly trouble our city; ²¹ and they teach customs which are not lawful for us, being Romans, to receive or observe.” ²² Then the multitude rose up together against them; and the magistrates tore off their clothes ^(D)and commanded them to be beaten with rods. ²³ And when they had laid many stripes on them, they threw them into prison, commanding the jailer to keep them securely.

Assault on Jason’s House

⁵ But the Jews ^[a]who were not persuaded, ^[b]becoming ^(A)envious, took some of the evil men from the marketplace, and gathering a mob, set all the city in an uproar and attacked the house of ^(B)Jason, and sought to bring them out to the people. ⁶ But when they did not find them, they dragged Jason and some brethren to the rulers of the city, crying out, ^(C)“These who have turned the world upside down have come here too. ⁷ Jason has ^[c]harbored them, and these are all acting contrary to the decrees of Caesar, ^(D)saying there is another king—Jesus.” ⁸ And they troubled the crowd and the rulers of the city when they heard these things.

¹³ But when the Jews from Thessalonica learned that the word of God was preached by Paul at Berea, they came there also and stirred up the crowds.

¹² When Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews with one accord rose up against Paul and brought him to the ^[a]judgment seat, ¹³ saying, “This fellow persuades men to worship God contrary to the law.”

²⁸ for he vigorously refuted the Jews publicly, ^(A)showing from the Scriptures that Jesus is the Christ.
