In Lystra and Derbe

⁸ In Lystra there sat a man who was lame. He had been that way from birth^(A) 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^{(B) 10} and called out, “Stand up on your feet!”^(C) At that, the man jumped up and began to walk.^(D)

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!”^(E)

¹⁹ Then some Jews^(A) came from Antioch and Iconium^(B) and won the crowd over. They stoned Paul^(C) and dragged him outside the city, thinking he was dead. ²⁰ But after the disciples^(D) 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^(E) in that city and won a large number^(F) of disciples. Then they returned to Lystra, Iconium^(G) and Antioch, ²² strengthening the disciples and encouraging them to remain true to the faith.^(H) “We must go through many hardships^(I) to enter the kingdom of God,” they said. ²³ Paul and Barnabas appointed elders^[a](J) for them in each church and, with prayer and fasting,^(K) committed them to the Lord,^(L) in whom they had put their trust.
