Acts 14:1-7
1599 Geneva Bible
14 1 Paul and Barnabas 5 are persecuted at Iconium: 6 At Lystra Paul 10 healeth a cripple: 13 They are about to do sacrifice unto them, 18 but they forbid it. 19 Paul by the persuasion of certain Jews, is stoned: 23 From thence passing through divers Churches, 26 they return to Antioch.
1 And [a]it came to pass in [b]Iconium, that they went both together into the Synagogue of the Jews, and so spake, that a great multitude both of the Jews and of the Grecians believed.
2 And the [c]unbelieving Jews stirred up, and corrupted the minds of the Gentiles against the brethren.
3 [d]So therefore they abode there a long time, and spake boldly in the Lord, which gave testimony unto the word of his grace, and caused signs and wonders to be done by their hands.
4 But the multitude of the city was divided: and some were with the Jews, and some with the Apostles.
5 And when there was an assault made both of the Gentiles, and of the Jews with their rulers, to do them violence, and to stone them,
6 They were ware of it, and [e]fled unto Lystra, and Derbe, cities of Lycaonia, and unto the region round about,
7 And there preached the Gospel.
