Acts 14
King James Version
14 And it came to pass in Iconium, that they went both together into the synagogue of the Jews, and so spake, that a great multitude both of the Jews and also of the Greeks believed.
2 But the unbelieving Jews stirred up the Gentiles, and made their minds evil affected against the brethren.
3 Long time therefore abode they speaking boldly in the Lord, which gave testimony unto the word of his grace, and granted signs and wonders to be done by their hands.
4 But the multitude of the city was divided: and part held with the Jews, and part with the apostles.
5 And when there was an assault made both of the Gentiles, and also of the Jews with their rulers, to use them despitefully, and to stone them,
6 They were ware of it, and fled unto Lystra and Derbe, cities of Lycaonia, and unto the region that lieth round about:
7 And there they preached the gospel.
8 And there sat a certain man at Lystra, impotent in his feet, being a cripple from his mother's womb, who never had walked:
9 The same heard Paul speak: who stedfastly beholding him, and perceiving that he had faith to be healed,
10 Said with a loud voice, Stand upright on thy feet. And he leaped and walked.
11 And when the people saw what Paul had done, they lifted up their voices, saying in the speech of Lycaonia, The gods are come down to us in the likeness of men.
12 And they called Barnabas, Jupiter; and Paul, Mercurius, because he was the chief speaker.
13 Then the priest of Jupiter, which was before their city, brought oxen and garlands unto the gates, and would have done sacrifice with the people.
14 Which when the apostles, Barnabas and Paul, heard of, they rent their clothes, and ran in among the people, crying out,
15 And saying, Sirs, why do ye these things? We also are men of like passions with you, and preach unto you that ye should turn from these vanities unto the living God, which made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and all things that are therein:
16 Who in times past suffered all nations to walk in their own ways.
17 Nevertheless he left not himself without witness, in that he did good, and gave us rain from heaven, and fruitful seasons, filling our hearts with food and gladness.
18 And with these sayings scarce restrained they the people, that they had not done sacrifice unto them.
19 And there came thither certain Jews from Antioch and Iconium, who persuaded the people, and having stoned Paul, drew him out of the city, supposing he had been dead.
20 Howbeit, as the disciples stood round about him, he rose up, and came into the city: and the next day he departed with Barnabas to Derbe.
21 And when they had preached the gospel to that city, and had taught many, they returned again to Lystra, and to Iconium, and Antioch,
22 Confirming the souls of the disciples, and exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that we must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God.
23 And when they had ordained them elders in every church, and had prayed with fasting, they commended them to the Lord, on whom they believed.
24 And after they had passed throughout Pisidia, they came to Pamphylia.
25 And when they had preached the word in Perga, they went down into Attalia:
26 And thence sailed to Antioch, from whence they had been recommended to the grace of God for the work which they fulfilled.
27 And when they were come, and had gathered the church together, they rehearsed all that God had done with them, and how he had opened the door of faith unto the Gentiles.
28 And there they abode long time with the disciples.
Acts 14
New International Reader's Version
Paul and Barnabas Preach in Iconium
14 At Iconium, Paul and Barnabas went into the Jewish synagogue as usual. They spoke there with great power. Large numbers of Jews and Greeks became believers. 2 But the Jews who refused to believe stirred up some of the Gentiles who were there. They turned them against the two men and the new believers. 3 So Paul and Barnabas spent a lot of time there. They spoke boldly for the Lord. He gave them the ability to do signs and wonders. In this way the Lord showed that they were telling the truth about his grace. 4 The people of the city did not agree with one another. Some were on the side of the Jews. Others were on the side of the apostles. 5 Jews and Gentiles alike planned to treat Paul and Barnabas badly. Their leaders agreed. They planned to kill them by throwing stones at them. 6 But Paul and Barnabas found out about the plan. They escaped to the Lycaonian cities of Lystra and Derbe and to the surrounding area. 7 There they continued to preach the good news.
Paul Preaches in Lystra
8 In Lystra there sat a man who couldn’t walk. He hadn’t been able to use his feet since the day he was born. 9 He listened as Paul spoke. Paul looked right at him. He saw that the man had faith to be healed. 10 So he called out, “Stand up on your feet!” Then the man jumped up and began to walk.
11 The crowd saw what Paul had done. They shouted in the Lycaonian language. “The gods have come down to us in human form!” they exclaimed. 12 They called Barnabas Zeus. Paul was the main speaker. So they called him Hermes. 13 Just outside the city was the temple of the god Zeus. The priest of Zeus brought bulls and wreaths to the city gates. He and the crowd wanted to offer sacrifices to Paul and Barnabas.
14 But the apostles Barnabas and Paul heard about this. So they tore their clothes. They rushed out into the crowd. They shouted, 15 “Friends, why are you doing this? We are only human, just like you. We are bringing you good news. Turn away from these worthless things. Turn to the living God. He is the one who made the heavens and the earth and the sea. He made everything in them. 16 In the past, he let all nations go their own way. 17 But he has given proof of what he is like. He has shown kindness by giving you rain from heaven. He gives you crops in their seasons. He provides you with plenty of food. He fills your hearts with joy.” 18 Paul and Barnabas told them all these things. But they had trouble keeping the crowd from offering sacrifices to them.
19 Then some Jews came from Antioch and Iconium. They won the crowd over to their side. They threw stones at Paul. They thought he was dead, so they dragged him out of the city. 20 The believers gathered around Paul. Then he got up and went back into the city. The next day he and Barnabas left for Derbe.
Paul and Barnabas Return to Antioch
21 Paul and Barnabas preached the good news in the city of Derbe. They won large numbers of followers. Then they returned to Lystra, Iconium and Antioch. 22 There they helped the believers gain strength. They told them to remain faithful to what they had been taught. “We must go through many hard times to enter God’s kingdom,” they said. 23 Paul and Barnabas appointed elders for them in each church. The elders had trusted in the Lord. Paul and Barnabas prayed and fasted. They placed the elders in the Lord’s care. 24 After going through Pisidia, Paul and Barnabas came into Pamphylia. 25 They preached the good news in Perga. Then they went down to Attalia.
26 From Attalia they sailed back to Antioch. In Antioch they had been put in God’s care to preach the good news. They had now completed the work God had given them to do. 27 When they arrived at Antioch, they gathered the church together. They reported all that God had done through them. They told how he had opened a way for the Gentiles to believe. 28 And they stayed there a long time with the believers.

Ang Pulong Sang Dios
Sa Iconium
14 Ang natabo sa Iconium pareho man sa natabo sa Antioc. Nagkadto si Pablo kag si Bernabe sa simbahan sang mga Judio. Kag tungod sa ila pagwali, madamo nga mga Judio kag mga indi Judio ang nagtuo kay Jesus. 2 Pero ginpalain sang mga Judio nga wala nagatuo ang buot sang mga indi Judio sa mga tumuluo, kag ginsutsot pa nila nga kontrahon sila. 3 Madugay ang tiner didto ni Pablo kag ni Bernabe. Wala sila nahadlok maghambal parte sa Ginoo. Ginpakita sang Ginoo nga matuod ang ila ginatudlo parte sa iya bugay, kay ginhatagan niya sila sing gahom sa paghimo sing mga milagro kag makatilingala nga mga butang. 4 Gani, ang mga tawo sa sadto nga siyudad nagbinahin-bahin; ang iban nagdampig sa mga Judio nga wala nagatuo, kag ang iban nagdampig sa mga apostoles.
5 May mga Judio kag mga indi Judio, kaupod ang ila mga pangulo, nga nagplano nga sakiton nila kag batuhon ang mga apostoles. 6 Pagkahibalo sang mga apostoles sang amo nga plano nagpalagyo sila pakadto sa Lystra kag sa Derbe, nga mga siyudad nga sakop sang Lycaonia, kag sa palibot nga mga lugar. 7 Kag ginwali nila didto ang Maayong Balita.
Sa Lystra
8 Sa Lystra may isa ka tawo nga lupog halin pa sang iya pagkatawo. 9 Nagpamati siya sa mga ginahambal ni Pablo. Ginhimutaran siya ni Pablo kag nakita niya nga may pagtuo ang lupog nga ang Ginoo makaayo sa iya. 10 Gani sa mabaskog nga tingog naghambal si Pablo sa iya, “Tindog ka sing tadlong!” Nagtindog dayon ang tawo kag naglakat-lakat. 11 Pagkakita sang mga tawo sa ginhimo ni Pablo, nagsinggit sila sa Lycaonia nga lingguahe, “Nagpanaog ang mga dios diri sa aton sa dagway sang tawo!” 12 Gintawag nila si Bernabe nga si Zeus, kag si Pablo nga si Hermes[a] tungod nga siya amo ang manughambal. 13 Ang templo sang ila dios nga si Zeus malapit lang sa guwa sang siyudad. Gani nagdala ang pari ni Zeus sing turo nga mga baka nga may kulintas nga bulak didto sa puwertahan sang siyudad. Gusto niya kag sang mga tawo nga ihalad ato sa mga apostoles. 14 Pagkahibalo ni Bernabe kag ni Pablo kon ano ang ila tuyo, gin-gisi nila ang ila mga bayo[b] kag nagdalagan sila sa tunga sang mga tawo kag nagsinggit, 15 “Mga abyan, ngaa mahalad kamo sa amon? Kami mga tawo man lang nga pareho sa inyo. Ginawali namon sa inyo ang Maayong Balita agod bayaan na ninyo ang mga wala pulos nga mga butang nga ini kag magpalapit sa Dios nga buhi. Siya amo ang naghimo sang langit, sang duta, sang dagat, kag sang tanan nga butang nga ara sa ila. 16 Sang una ginpabay-an lang sang Dios ang mga tawo sa pagsunod sa ila luyag. 17 Pero sa tanan nga oras ginapakilala sang Dios ang iya kaugalingon sa mga tawo paagi sa iya mga ginahimo nga maayo. Ginahatagan niya kamo sing ulan kag mga patubas pag-abot sang tig-alani. Bugana nga pagkaon ang iya ginahatag sa inyo agod malipay kamo.” 18 Pero bisan amo ini ang ginahambal sang mga apostoles, nabudlayan pa gid sila sa pagpugong sa mga tawo nga magpatay sang ila mga baka agod ihalad sa ila.
19 May nag-abot nga mga Judio halin sa Antioc nga sakop sang Pisidia kag sa Iconium. Ginhaylo nila ang mga tawo nga magdampig sa ila. Ginpulihan nila bato si Pablo kag gin-guyod dayon paguwa sa banwa, kay hunahuna nila patay na siya. 20 Pero pagtipon sang mga sumulunod ni Jesus didto sa iya palibot, nagbangon siya kag nagbalik sa banwa. Sang madason nga adlaw nagkadto sila nga duha ni Bernabe sa Derbe.
Ang Ila Pagbalik sa Antioc nga Sakop sang Syria
21 Ginwali ni Pablo kag ni Bernabe ang Maayong Balita didto sa Derbe kag madamo ang ila nakonbertir nga magsunod kay Jesu-Cristo. Pagkatapos nagbalik naman sila sa Lystra, sa Iconium, kag sa Antioc nga sakop sang Pisidia. 22 Ginpalig-on nila ang mga sumulunod ni Jesus kag ginlaygayan nga magpadayon gid sa ila pagtuo. Nagsiling man sila sa ila, “Madamo nga mga kabudlayan ang aton dapat pagaagihan antes kita masakop sa paghari sang Dios.” 23 Sa kada lugar nga may iglesya, nagpili sila sang mga manugdumala para sa ila. Nagpuasa sila kag nagpangamuyo para sa mga ginpili, kag gintugyan nila sila sa Ginoo nga ila ginatuohan.
24 Pagkatapos nag-agi sila sa mga lugar nga sakop sang Pisidia kag nag-abot sila sa Pamfilia. 25 Nagwali sila didto sa Perga kag dason nagdulhog sila sa Atalia. 26 Halin didto nagpanakayon sila pabalik sa Antioc nga sakop sang Syria. Amo ini ang lugar nga ila ginhalinan, kag diri man sila ginpangamuyuan sang mga tumuluo nga pakamaayuhon sila sang Dios sa ila buluhaton nga natapos na nila subong.
27 Sang pag-abot ni Pablo kag ni Bernabe sa Antioc, gintipon nila ang mga tumuluo[c] kag ginsugid dayon sa ila ang tanan nga ginhimo sang Dios paagi sa ila, kag kon paano nga ang Dios naghatag kahigayunan agod makatuo man ang mga indi Judio. 28 Kag dugay ang ila pagtiner sa Antioc upod sa mga sumulunod ni Jesus didto.
