Paul and Barnabas at Iconium

Acts 14

1 Now at Iconium a they entered together into the Jewish synagogue and spoke in such a way that a great number of both Jews and Greeks believed. 2 b But the c unbelieving Jews stirred up the Gentiles and poisoned their minds against d the brothers. 1 3 So they remained for a long time, speaking boldly for e the Lord, who bore witness to f the word of his grace, g granting signs and wonders to be done by their hands. 4 But the people of the city h were divided; i some sided with the Jews and some with the apostles. 5 When an attempt was made by both Gentiles and Jews, with their rulers, j to mistreat them and k to stone them, 6 they learned of it and l fled to m Lystra and Derbe, cities of Lycaonia, and to the surrounding country, 7 and there they continued to preach the gospel.
