Acts 14:1-8

¹In Iconium the same thing happened. Paul and Barnabas went to the Jewish synagogue and spoke so convincingly that many of both the Jewish and Greek-speaking worshipers trusted in Jesus.

²But the Jews that refused to believe in Jesus stirred up the feelings of the foreigners, and poisoned them against the believers.

³Paul and Barnabas stayed there a long time, speaking to them boldly in the Lord, who confirmed their message of grace through the miraculous signs that they were enabled to perform.

⁴The inhabitants of the town were divided, with some supporting the Jews and some the apostles.

⁵But then the foreigners and the Jews, together with their leaders, decided to attack and stone Paul and Barnabas.

⁶However, they found out about it and fled to the region of Lycaonia, to the towns of Lystra and Derbe,

⁷where they continued to share the good news.

⁸In the town of Lystra there was a disabled man who was lame in both feet. He had been crippled from birth and had never been able to walk.
