Acts 14:16-23

¹⁶who in the generations gone by suffered all the nations to walk in their own ways.

¹⁷And yet he left not himself without witness, in that he did good and gave you from heaven rains and fruitful seasons, filling your hearts with food and gladness.

¹⁸And with these sayings scarce restrained they the multitudes from doing sacrifice unto them.

¹⁹But there came Jews thither from Antioch and Iconium: and having persuaded the multitudes, they stoned Paul, and dragged him out of the city, supposing that he was dead.

²⁰But as the disciples stood round about him, he rose up, and entered into the city: and on the morrow he went forth with Barnabas to Derbe.

²¹And when they had preached the gospel to that city, and had made many disciples, they returned to Lystra, and to Iconium, and to Antioch,

²²confirming the souls of the disciples, exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that through many tribulations we must enter into the kingdom of God.

²³And when they had appointed for them elders in every church, and had prayed with fasting, they commended them to the Lord, on whom they had believed.
