在以哥念
14 保羅和巴拿巴在以哥念照樣進猶太的會堂講道，結果一大群猶太人和希臘人都信了。 2 但不順從的猶太人，煽動外族人，激起他們仇恨的心，來反對弟兄們。 3 兩人卻仍住了很久，靠著主放膽講論，主也藉著他們的手行神蹟奇事，證實他恩惠的道。 4 城裡眾人就分裂了，有的附從猶太人，也有的附從使徒。 5 當時，外族人、猶太人，和他們的首領，蠢蠢欲動，想要侮辱使徒，用石頭打他們。 6 兩人知道了，就逃往呂高尼的路司得和特庇兩城，以及周圍的地方， 7 在那裡傳福音。
在路司得
8 路司得城有一個雙腳無力的人，坐在那裡。他生來就是瘸腿的，從來沒有走過路。 9 他聽保羅講道；保羅注視他，見他有信心，可以治好， 10 就大聲說：“你起來，兩腳站直！”他就跳起來，並且走起路來。 11 眾人看見保羅所作的事，就用呂高尼話大聲說：“有神明成了人形，降到我們這裡來了！” 12 於是他們稱巴拿巴為宙斯，稱保羅為漢密士，因為保羅帶頭講話。 13 城門前宙斯廟的祭司，牽著幾頭公牛，拿著一些花環來到門口，要同群眾一起獻祭。 14 巴拿巴和保羅兩個使徒聽見了，就撕裂衣服，跳進群眾中間，喊著說： 15 “各位，為甚麼這樣作呢？我們也是人，性情和你們一樣，我們傳福音給你們，正是要你們遠離這些虛妄的事，歸向永活的 神，就是那創造天、地、海和其中萬物的 神。 16 在從前的世代裡，他容忍萬國各行其道， 17 然而卻未嘗不為自己留下明證，就如常常行善事，從天上降下雨來，常常賞賜豐年，使你們吃喝充足，滿心歡樂。” 18 兩人說完了這些話，這才阻止群眾，不向他們獻祭。
19 但有些猶太人，從安提阿、以哥念來，挑唆群眾，用石頭打保羅，以為他死了，就拖到城外去。 20 門徒正圍著他的時候，他竟然站起來，走進城裡去了。第二天，他跟巴拿巴一同到特庇去。
結束第一次宣教旅程
21 他們在那城裡傳福音，使許多人作了門徒，然後回到路司得、以哥念、安提阿， 22 堅固門徒的心，勸他們恆守所信的道，又說：“我們進入 神的國，必須經歷許多苦難。” 23 兩人在各教會為他們指派了長老；禁食祈禱之後，就把他們交託給所信的主。 24 兩人經過彼西底，來到旁非利亞， 25 在別加講道以後，就下到亞大利。 26 從那裡坐船往安提阿。從前眾人就是在這地方，把他們交託在 神的恩典中，派他們去工作，現在他們已經完成了。 27 他們到了那裡，就召集了會眾，報告 神跟他們一起所行的一切，並且他為外族人開了信道的門。 28 兩人同門徒住了不少日子。

In Iconium
14 At Iconium(A) Paul and Barnabas went as usual into the Jewish synagogue.(B) There they spoke so effectively that a great number(C) 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.(D) 3 So Paul and Barnabas spent considerable time there, speaking boldly(E) for the Lord, who confirmed the message of his grace by enabling them to perform signs and wonders.(F) 4 The people of the city were divided; some sided with the Jews, others with the apostles.(G) 5 There was a plot afoot among both Gentiles and Jews,(H) together with their leaders, to mistreat them and stone them.(I) 6 But they found out about it and fled(J) to the Lycaonian cities of Lystra and Derbe and to the surrounding country, 7 where they continued to preach(K) the gospel.(L)
In Lystra and Derbe
8 In Lystra there sat a man who was lame. He had been that way from birth(M) and had never walked. 9 He listened to Paul as he was speaking. Paul looked directly at him, saw that he had faith to be healed(N) 10 and called out, “Stand up on your feet!”(O) At that, the man jumped up and began to walk.(P)
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!”(Q) 12 Barnabas they called Zeus, and Paul they called Hermes because he was the chief speaker.(R) 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(S) and rushed out into the crowd, shouting: 15 “Friends, why are you doing this? We too are only human,(T) like you. We are bringing you good news,(U) telling you to turn from these worthless things(V) to the living God,(W) who made the heavens and the earth(X) and the sea and everything in them.(Y) 16 In the past, he let(Z) all nations go their own way.(AA) 17 Yet he has not left himself without testimony:(AB) He has shown kindness by giving you rain from heaven and crops in their seasons;(AC) he provides you with plenty of food and fills your hearts with joy.”(AD) 18 Even with these words, they had difficulty keeping the crowd from sacrificing to them.
19 Then some Jews(AE) came from Antioch and Iconium(AF) and won the crowd over. They stoned Paul(AG) and dragged him outside the city, thinking he was dead. 20 But after the disciples(AH) 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(AI) in that city and won a large number(AJ) of disciples. Then they returned to Lystra, Iconium(AK) and Antioch, 22 strengthening the disciples and encouraging them to remain true to the faith.(AL) “We must go through many hardships(AM) to enter the kingdom of God,” they said. 23 Paul and Barnabas appointed elders[a](AN) for them in each church and, with prayer and fasting,(AO) committed them to the Lord,(AP) in whom they had put their trust. 24 After going through Pisidia, they came into Pamphylia,(AQ) 25 and when they had preached the word in Perga, they went down to Attalia.
26 From Attalia they sailed back to Antioch,(AR) where they had been committed to the grace of God(AS) for the work they had now completed.(AT) 27 On arriving there, they gathered the church together and reported all that God had done through them(AU) and how he had opened a door(AV) of faith to the Gentiles. 28 And they stayed there a long time with the disciples.(AW)

Paul and Barnabas in Iconium
14 Paul and Barnabas went to the city of Iconium. As they did in Antioch, they entered the Jewish synagogue. They spoke to the people there. They spoke so well that many Jews and Greeks believed what they said. 2 But some of the Jews did not believe. They said things that caused the non-Jewish people to be angry and turn against the believers.
3 So Paul and Barnabas stayed in Iconium a long time, and they spoke bravely for the Lord. They told the people about God’s grace. The Lord proved that what they said was true by causing miraculous signs and wonders to be done through them. 4 But some of the people in the city agreed with the Jews who did not believe Paul and Barnabas. Others followed the apostles. So the city was divided.
5 Some of the Jews there, as well as their leaders and some of the non-Jewish people, were determined to hurt Paul and Barnabas. They wanted to stone them to death. 6 When Paul and Barnabas learned about this, they left the city. They went to Lystra and Derbe, cities in Lycaonia, and to the surrounding areas. 7 They told the Good News there too.
Paul in Lystra and Derbe
8 In Lystra there was a man who had something wrong with his feet. He had been born crippled and had never walked. 9 He was sitting and listening to Paul speak. Paul looked straight at him and saw that the man believed God could heal him. 10 So Paul shouted, “Stand up on your feet!” The man jumped up and began walking around.
11 When the people saw what Paul did, they shouted in their own Lycaonian language. They said, “The gods have come down to us in the form of humans!” 12 The people began to call Barnabas “Zeus,” and they called Paul “Hermes,” because he was the main speaker. 13 The temple of Zeus was near the city. The priest of this temple brought some bulls and flowers to the city gates. The priest and the people wanted to offer a sacrifice to Paul and Barnabas.
14 But when the apostles, Barnabas and Paul, understood what the people were doing, they tore their own clothes.[a] Then they ran in among the people and shouted to them: 15 “Men, why are you doing this? We are not gods. We are human just like you. We came to tell you the Good News. We are telling you to turn away from these worthless things. Turn to the true living God, the one who made the sky, the earth, the sea, and everything that is in them.
16 “In the past God let all the nations do what they wanted. 17 But God was always there doing the good things that prove he is real. He gives you rain from heaven and good harvests at the right times. He gives you plenty of food and fills your hearts with joy.”
18 Even after saying all this, Paul and Barnabas still could hardly stop the people from offering sacrifices to them.
19 Then some Jews came from Antioch and Iconium and persuaded the people to turn against Paul. So they threw stones at him and dragged him out of the town. They thought they had killed him. 20 But when the followers of Jesus gathered around him, he got up and went back into the town. The next day he and Barnabas left and went to the city of Derbe.
The Return to Antioch in Syria
21 They also told the Good News in the city of Derbe, and many people became followers of Jesus. Then Paul and Barnabas returned to the cities of Lystra, Iconium, and Antioch. 22 In those cities they helped the followers grow stronger in their faith and encouraged them to continue trusting God. They told them, “We must suffer many things on our way into God’s kingdom.” 23 They also chose elders for each church and stopped eating for a period of time to pray for them. These elders were men who had put their trust in the Lord Jesus, so Paul and Barnabas put them in his care.
24 Paul and Barnabas went through the country of Pisidia. Then they came to the country of Pamphylia. 25 They told people the message of God in the city of Perga, and then they went down to the city of Attalia. 26 And from there they sailed away to Antioch in Syria. This is the city where the believers had put them into God’s care and sent them to do this work. Now they had finished it.
27 When Paul and Barnabas arrived, they gathered the church together. They told them everything God had used them to do. They said, “God opened a door for the non-Jewish people to believe!” 28 And they stayed there a long time with the Lord’s followers.
