En Iconio
14 En Iconio, Pablo y Bernabé entraron, como de costumbre, en la sinagoga judía y hablaron de tal manera que creyó una multitud de judíos y de los que no son judíos. 2 Pero los judíos incrédulos incitaron a los no judíos y les amargaron el ánimo contra los hermanos. 3 En todo caso, Pablo y Bernabé pasaron allí bastante tiempo, hablando valientemente en el nombre del Señor, quien confirmaba el mensaje de su gracia haciendo señales y prodigios por medio de ellos. 4 La gente de la ciudad estaba dividida: unos de parte de los judíos y otros de parte de los apóstoles. 5 Hubo un complot tanto de los no judíos como de los judíos, apoyados por sus dirigentes, para maltratarlos y apedrearlos. 6 Al darse cuenta de esto, los apóstoles huyeron a Listra y a Derbe, ciudades de Licaonia, y a sus alrededores, 7 donde siguieron anunciando las buenas noticias.
En Listra y Derbe
8 En Listra vivía un hombre lisiado de nacimiento que no podía mover las piernas y nunca había caminado. Estaba sentado, 9 escuchando a Pablo, quien al fijarse en él y ver que tenía fe para ser sanado, 10 le ordenó con voz fuerte:
—¡Ponte en pie y enderézate!
El hombre dio un salto y empezó a caminar. 11 Al ver lo que Pablo había hecho, la gente comenzó a gritar en el idioma de Licaonia:
—¡Los dioses han tomado forma humana y han venido a visitarnos!
12 A Bernabé lo llamaban Zeus y a Pablo, Hermes, porque era el que dirigía la palabra. 13 El sacerdote de Zeus, el dios cuyo templo estaba a las afueras de la ciudad, llevó toros y guirnaldas a las puertas y, con toda la multitud, quería ofrecerles sacrificios.
14 Al enterarse de esto los apóstoles Bernabé y Pablo, se rasgaron las vestiduras y se lanzaron por entre la multitud, gritando:
15 —Señores, ¿por qué hacen esto? Nosotros también somos hombres mortales como ustedes. Las buenas noticias que anunciamos son que dejen estas cosas sin valor y se vuelvan al Dios viviente, que hizo el cielo, la tierra, el mar y todo lo que hay en ellos. 16 En épocas pasadas él permitió que todas las naciones siguieran su propio camino. 17 Sin embargo, no ha dejado de dar testimonio de sí mismo haciendo el bien, dándoles lluvias del cielo y estaciones fructíferas, proporcionándoles comida y alegría de corazón.
18 A pesar de todo lo que dijeron, a duras penas evitaron que la multitud les ofreciera sacrificios.
19 En eso llegaron de Antioquía y de Iconio unos judíos que hicieron cambiar de parecer a la multitud. Apedrearon a Pablo y lo arrastraron fuera de la ciudad, creyendo que estaba muerto. 20 Pero cuando lo rodearon los discípulos, él se levantó y volvió a entrar en la ciudad. Al día siguiente, partió para Derbe en compañía de Bernabé.
El regreso a Antioquía de Siria
21 Después de anunciar las buenas noticias en aquella ciudad y de hacer muchos discípulos, Pablo y Bernabé regresaron a Listra, a Iconio y a Antioquía, 22 fortaleciendo a los discípulos y animándolos a perseverar en la fe. «Es necesario pasar por muchas dificultades para entrar en el reino de Dios», les decían. 23 Cada iglesia nombró líderes religiosos, y con oración y ayuno los encomendaron al Señor, en quien habían creído. 24 Atravesando Pisidia, llegaron a Panfilia 25 y, cuando terminaron de predicar la palabra en Perge, bajaron a Atalía.
26 De Atalía navegaron a Antioquía, donde se los había encomendado a la gracia de Dios para la obra que ya habían realizado. 27 Cuando llegaron, reunieron a la iglesia e informaron de todo lo que Dios había hecho por medio de ellos y de cómo había abierto la puerta de la fe a los no judíos. 28 Y se quedaron allí mucho tiempo con los discípulos.

In Iconium
14 At Iconium(A) Paul and Barnabas went as usual into the Jewish synagogue.(B) There they spoke so effectively that a great number(C) of Jews and Greeks believed. 2 But the Jews who refused to believe stirred up the other Gentiles and poisoned their minds against the brothers.(D) 3 So Paul and Barnabas spent considerable time there, speaking boldly(E) for the Lord, who confirmed the message of his grace by enabling them to perform signs and wonders.(F) 4 The people of the city were divided; some sided with the Jews, others with the apostles.(G) 5 There was a plot afoot among both Gentiles and Jews,(H) together with their leaders, to mistreat them and stone them.(I) 6 But they found out about it and fled(J) to the Lycaonian cities of Lystra and Derbe and to the surrounding country, 7 where they continued to preach(K) the gospel.(L)
In Lystra and Derbe
8 In Lystra there sat a man who was lame. He had been that way from birth(M) 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(N) 10 and called out, “Stand up on your feet!”(O) At that, the man jumped up and began to walk.(P)
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!”(Q) 12 Barnabas they called Zeus, and Paul they called Hermes because he was the chief speaker.(R) 13 The priest of Zeus, whose temple was just outside the city, brought bulls and wreaths to the city gates because he and the crowd wanted to offer sacrifices to them.
14 But when the apostles Barnabas and Paul heard of this, they tore their clothes(S) and rushed out into the crowd, shouting: 15 “Friends, why are you doing this? We too are only human,(T) like you. We are bringing you good news,(U) telling you to turn from these worthless things(V) to the living God,(W) who made the heavens and the earth(X) and the sea and everything in them.(Y) 16 In the past, he let(Z) all nations go their own way.(AA) 17 Yet he has not left himself without testimony:(AB) He has shown kindness by giving you rain from heaven and crops in their seasons;(AC) he provides you with plenty of food and fills your hearts with joy.”(AD) 18 Even with these words, they had difficulty keeping the crowd from sacrificing to them.
19 Then some Jews(AE) came from Antioch and Iconium(AF) and won the crowd over. They stoned Paul(AG) and dragged him outside the city, thinking he was dead. 20 But after the disciples(AH) 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(AI) in that city and won a large number(AJ) of disciples. Then they returned to Lystra, Iconium(AK) and Antioch, 22 strengthening the disciples and encouraging them to remain true to the faith.(AL) “We must go through many hardships(AM) to enter the kingdom of God,” they said. 23 Paul and Barnabas appointed elders[a](AN) for them in each church and, with prayer and fasting,(AO) committed them to the Lord,(AP) in whom they had put their trust. 24 After going through Pisidia, they came into Pamphylia,(AQ) 25 and when they had preached the word in Perga, they went down to Attalia.
26 From Attalia they sailed back to Antioch,(AR) where they had been committed to the grace of God(AS) for the work they had now completed.(AT) 27 On arriving there, they gathered the church together and reported all that God had done through them(AU) and how he had opened a door(AV) of faith to the Gentiles. 28 And they stayed there a long time with the disciples.(AW)

Paul and Barnabas in Iconium
14 The same thing happened in Iconium.[a] Paul and Barnabas went to the Jewish synagogue and preached with such power that a great number of both Jews and Greeks became believers. 2 Some of the Jews, however, spurned God’s message and poisoned the minds of the Gentiles against Paul and Barnabas. 3 But the apostles stayed there a long time, preaching boldly about the grace of the Lord. And the Lord proved their message was true by giving them power to do miraculous signs and wonders. 4 But the people of the town were divided in their opinion about them. Some sided with the Jews, and some with the apostles.
5 Then a mob of Gentiles and Jews, along with their leaders, decided to attack and stone them. 6 When the apostles learned of it, they fled to the region of Lycaonia—to the towns of Lystra and Derbe and the surrounding area. 7 And there they preached the Good News.
Paul and Barnabas in Lystra and Derbe
8 While they were at Lystra, Paul and Barnabas came upon a man with crippled feet. He had been that way from birth, so he had never walked. He was sitting 9 and listening as Paul preached. Looking straight at him, Paul realized he had faith to be healed. 10 So Paul called to him in a loud voice, “Stand up!” And the man jumped to his feet and started walking.
11 When the crowd saw what Paul had done, they shouted in their local dialect, “These men are gods in human form!” 12 They decided that Barnabas was the Greek god Zeus and that Paul was Hermes, since he was the chief speaker. 13 Now the temple of Zeus was located just outside the town. So the priest of the temple and the crowd brought bulls and wreaths of flowers to the town gates, and they prepared to offer sacrifices to the apostles.
14 But when the apostles Barnabas and Paul heard what was happening, they tore their clothing in dismay and ran out among the people, shouting, 15 “Friends,[b] why are you doing this? We are merely human beings—just like you! We have come to bring you the Good News that you should turn from these worthless things and turn to the living God, who made heaven and earth, the sea, and everything in them. 16 In the past he permitted all the nations to go their own ways, 17 but he never left them without evidence of himself and his goodness. For instance, he sends you rain and good crops and gives you food and joyful hearts.” 18 But even with these words, Paul and Barnabas could scarcely restrain the people from sacrificing to them.
19 Then some Jews arrived from Antioch and Iconium and won the crowds to their side. They stoned Paul and dragged him out of town, thinking he was dead. 20 But as the believers[c] gathered around him, he got up and went back into the town. The next day he left with Barnabas for Derbe.
Paul and Barnabas Return to Antioch of Syria
21 After preaching the Good News in Derbe and making many disciples, Paul and Barnabas returned to Lystra, Iconium, and Antioch of Pisidia, 22 where they strengthened the believers. They encouraged them to continue in the faith, reminding them that we must suffer many hardships to enter the Kingdom of God. 23 Paul and Barnabas also appointed elders in every church. With prayer and fasting, they turned the elders over to the care of the Lord, in whom they had put their trust. 24 Then they traveled back through Pisidia to Pamphylia. 25 They preached the word in Perga, then went down to Attalia.
26 Finally, they returned by ship to Antioch of Syria, where their journey had begun. The believers there had entrusted them to the grace of God to do the work they had now completed. 27 Upon arriving in Antioch, they called the church together and reported everything God had done through them and how he had opened the door of faith to the Gentiles, too. 28 And they stayed there with the believers for a long time.
