PAUL AND BARNABAS IN
ICONIUM
Acts 14:1-6 New Living Translation (NLT)
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.
