14 It came to pass ginomai · de in en Iconium Ikonion that Paul and Barnabas autos went eiserchomai as kata · ho usual autos into eis the ho synagogue synagōgē of the ho Jews Ioudaios and kai spoke laleō in such houtōs a way that hōste a large polys group plēthos of both te Jews Ioudaios and kai Greeks Hellēn believed pisteuō. But de the ho Jews Ioudaios who did not believe apeitheō stirred epegeirō up and kai embittered kakoō the ho minds psychē of the ho Gentiles ethnos against kata their ho brothers adelphos. So oun they stayed there diatribō for a considerable hikanos time chronos, speaking parrēsiazomai out boldly about epi the ho Lord kyrios, who ho witnessed martyreō to epi the ho message logos of ho his autos grace charis, granting didōmi signs sēmeion and kai wonders teras to be done ginomai through dia · ho their autos hands cheir. But de the ho people plēthos of the ho city polis were divided schizō; while kai some ho sided eimi with syn the ho Jews Ioudaios, others ho · de sided with syn the ho apostles apostolos. When hōs · de there was ginomai an attempt hormē by ho both te Gentiles ethnos and kai Jews Ioudaios along syn with · ho their autos rulers archōn, to mistreat hybrizō them and kai to stone lithoboleō them autos, they became synoraō aware of it and fled katapheugō to eis the ho cities polis of ho Lycaonia Lykaonia, Lystra Lystra and kai Derbe Derbē, and kai to the ho surrounding perichōros region , and kakei there they were eimi preaching euangelizō the good news .

Now kai there was a tis man anēr sitting kathēmai in en Lystra Lystra, whose ho feet pous were useless adynatos, lame chōlos from ek the womb koilia of his autos mother mētēr, who hos had never oudepote walked peripateō. This houtos man listened akouō to · ho Paul Paulos speaking laleō.

For we hēmeis too kai are eimi men anthrōpos subject to the same frailties homoiopathēs as you hymeis, bringing euangelizō you hymeis good news to turn away epistrephō from apo these houtos · ho vain mataios things to epi the living zaō God theos, who hos made poieō the ho heaven ouranos and kai the ho earth and kai the ho sea thalassa and kai everything pas · ho in en them autos, 16 who hos in en · ho past paroichomai generations genea allowed eaō all pas the ho nations ethnos to walk poreuō in ho their own autos ways hodos; 17 yet kaitoi he did aphiēmi not ou leave aphiēmi himself autos without witness amartyros, for he did good agathoergeō, giving didōmi you hymeis rains hyetos from heaven ouranothen and kai fruitful karpophoros seasons kairos, filling empiplēmi your hymeis hearts kardia with food trophē and kai gladness euphrosynē.” · ho 18 Even kai saying legō these houtos things , they barely molis restrained katapauō the ho crowds ochlos · ho from offering thuō sacrifice to them autos. 19 But de there came eperchomai Jews Ioudaios from apo Antioch Antiocheia and kai Iconium Ikonion, and kai having persuaded peithō the ho crowd ochlos · kai they stoned lithazō · ho Paul Paulos and dragged syrō him outside exō the ho city polis, thinking nomizō him autos to be dead thnēskō. 20 But de when the ho disciples mathētēs gathered kykloō around him autos, he got anistēmi up and went eiserchomai into eis the ho city polis; and kai on the ho following epaurion day he set exerchomai off with syn · ho Barnabas Barnabas for eis Derbe Derbē.

Preaching in Iconium

14 Now it happened that in Iconium they entered together[a] into the synagogue of the Jews and spoke in such a way that a large number of both Jews and Greeks believed. But the Jews who were disobedient stirred up and poisoned the minds[b] of the Gentiles against the brothers. So they stayed there[c] for a considerable time, speaking boldly for the Lord, who testified to the message of his grace, granting signs and wonders to be performed through their hands. But the population of the city was divided, and some[d] were with the Jews and some[e] with the apostles. So when an inclination took place on the part of both the Gentiles and the Jews, together with their rulers, to mistreat them[f] and to stone them, they became aware of it[g] and[h] fled to the Lycaonian cities—Lystra and Derbe and the surrounding region. And there they were continuing to proclaim the good news.

Mistaken for Gods in Lystra

And in Lystra a certain man was sitting powerless in his feet, lame from birth,[i] who had never walked. This man listened while[j] Paul was speaking. Paul,[k] looking intently at him and seeing that he had faith to be healed, 10 said with a loud voice, “Stand upright on your feet!” And he leaped up and began walking.[l] 11 And when[m] the crowds saw what Paul had done, they raised their voices in the Lycaonian language, saying, “The gods have become like men and[n] have come down to us!” 12 And they began calling[o] Barnabas Zeus and Paul Hermes, because he was the principal speaker.[p] 13 And the priest of the temple[q] of Zeus that was just outside the city brought bulls and garlands to the gates and[r] was wanting to offer sacrifice, along with the crowds. 14 But when[s] the apostles Barnabas and Paul heard about it,[t] they tore their clothing and[u] rushed out into the crowd, shouting 15 and saying, “Men, why are you doing these things? We also are men with the same nature as you, proclaiming the good news that you should turn from these worthless things to the living God, who made the heaven and the earth and the sea and all the things that are in them— 16 who in generations that are past permitted all the nations[v] to go their own ways. 17 And yet he did not leave himself without witness by[w] doing good, giving you rain from heaven and fruitful seasons, satisfying you[x] with food and your hearts with gladness.” 18 And although[y] they said these things, only with difficulty did they dissuade the crowds from offering sacrifice to them.

19 But Jews arrived from Antioch and Iconium, and when they[z] had won over the crowds and stoned Paul, they dragged him[aa] outside the city, thinking he was dead. 20 But after[ab] the disciples surrounded him, he got up and[ac] went into the city. And on the next day he departed with Barnabas for Derbe.

Paul and Barnabas Return to Antioch in Syria

21 And after they[ad] had proclaimed the good news in that city and made many disciples, they returned to Lystra and to Iconium and to Antioch, 22 strengthening the souls of the disciples, encouraging them[ae] to continue in the faith and saying,[af] “Through many persecutions[ag] it is necessary for us to enter into the kingdom of God.” 23 And when they[ah] had appointed elders for them in every church, after[ai] praying with fasting, they entrusted them to the Lord, in whom they had believed. 24 And they passed through Pisidia and[aj] came to Pamphylia. 25 And after[ak] they proclaimed the message in Perga, they went down to Attalia, 26 and from there they sailed away to Antioch where they had been commended to the grace of God for the work that they had completed. 27 And when they[al] arrived and called the church together, they reported all that God had done with them, and that he had opened a door of faith for the Gentiles.[am] 28 And they stayed no little time with the disciples.
