14 In Iconium, they entered together into the synagogue of the Jews, and so spoke that a great multitude both of Jews and of Greeks believed. But the disbelieving[a] Jews stirred up and embittered the souls of the Gentiles against the brothers.

There they preached the Good News.

Preaching in Iconium

And there they were continuing to proclaim the good news.
