Acts 14:19-23

English Standard Version

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.
