1And it befelled at Iconium, that they entered together into the syna-gogue of Jews, and spake, so that [a] full great multitude of Jews and Greeks believed.

2But the Jews that were unbelieve-ful, raised persecution, and stirred to wrath the souls of heathen men against the brethren; but the Lord gave soon peace.

3Therefore they dwelled much time, and did trustily in the Lord, bearing witnessing to the word of his grace, giving signs and wonders to be made by the hands of them.

4But the multitude of the city was parted, and some were with the Jews, and some with the apostles.

5But when there was made an assault of the heathen men and the Jews, with their princes, to torment, and to stone them,

6they understood, and fled together to the cities of Lycaonia, and Lystra, and Derbe, and into all the country about.

7And they preached there the gospel, and all the multitude was moved together in the teaching of them. Paul and Barnabas dwelt at Lystra.

8And a man at Lystra was sick in the feet, and had sat crooked from his mother’s womb, which never had gone.

9This heard Paul speaking; and Paul beheld him and saw that he had faith, that he should be made safe,

10and said with a great voice, Rise thou upright on thy feet. And he leaped, and walked.

11And the people, when they had seen that that Paul did, reared their voice in Lycaonian tongue, and said, Gods made like to men be come down to us.

12And they called Barnabas, Jupiter, and Paul, Mercury, for he was leader of the word.

13And the priest of Jupiter that was before the city, brought bulls and crowns before the gates, with peoples, and would have made sacrifice.

14And when the apostles Barnabas and Paul heard this, they rent their coats; and they skipped out among the people, and cried,

15and said, Men, what do ye this thing? and we be deadly men like you, and show to you, that ye be converted from these vain things to the living God, that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and all things that be in them;

16which in generations passed suffered all folks to go into their own ways.

17And yet he left not himself without witnessing in well-doing, for he gave rains from heaven, and times of bearing fruit, and full-filled your hearts with meat, and gladness.

18And they saying these things, scarcely assuaged the people, that they offered not to them.

19But some Jews came over from Antioch and Iconium, and counselled [or stirred] the people, and [they] stoned Paul, and drew him out of the city, and guessed that he was dead.

20But when [the] disciples were come about him, he rose, and went into the city; and in the day pursuing, [or in the pursuing day], he went forth with Barnabas into Derbe.

21And when they had preached [or had evangelized] to that city, and taught many, they turned again to Lystra, and Iconium, and to Antioch;

22confirming the souls of the disciples, and admonishing, that they should dwell in the faith, and said, That by many tribulations it behooveth us to enter into the kingdom of heavens.

23And when they had ordained priests to them by all cities, and had prayed with fastings, they betook them to the Lord, in whom they believed.

24And they passed Pisidia, and came to Pamphylia;

25and they spake the word of the Lord in Perga, and came down into Italy.

26And from thence they went by boat to Antioch, from whence they were taken to the grace of God, into the work that they [ful] filled.

27And when they were come, and had gathered the church, they told how great [or how many] things God did with them, and that he had opened to heathen men the door of faith.

28And they dwelled not a little time with the disciples.
