Paul and Barnabas in Iconium

14 In Iconium [13:51], ·Paul and Barnabas [^Lthey] went as usual to the Jewish synagogue [^Cthey typically appealed to their fellow Jews first]. They spoke ·so well [^Lin such a way] that a great many Jews and Greeks believed. ² But the Jews who did not believe ·excited [stirred up] the Gentiles and ·turned them [poisoned their minds; ^Lharmed/did evil to their souls] against the ·believers [^Lbrothers (and sisters)]. ³ [^LSo; Therefore] ·Paul and Barnabas [^LThey] stayed in Iconium a long time and spoke ·bravely [or boldly] for the Lord. He ·showed [testified; confirmed] that their ·message [word] about his grace was true by giving them the power to work [miraculous] signs and ·miracles [wonders]. ⁴ But [^Lthe people/population of] the city was divided. Some of the people agreed with the Jews, and others ·believed [^Lwere with] the apostles.

⁵ Some Gentiles, some Jews, and some of their rulers ·wanted [intended; plotted] to mistreat Paul and Barnabas and to stone them to death.
