Acts 14:16-26

¹⁶who in the past generations did suffer all the nations to go on in their ways,

¹⁷though, indeed, without witness He did not leave himself, doing good — from heaven giving rains to us, and fruitful seasons, filling our hearts with food and gladness;'

¹⁸and these things saying, scarcely did they restrain the multitudes from sacrificing to them.

¹⁹And there came thither, from Antioch and Iconium, Jews, and they having persuaded the multitudes, and having stoned Paul, drew him outside of the city, having supposed him to be dead;

²⁰and the disciples having surrounded him, having risen he entered into the city, and on the morrow he went forth with Barnabas to Derbe.

²¹Having proclaimed good news also to that city, and having discipled many, they turned back to Lystra, and Iconium, and Antioch,

²²confirming the souls of the disciples, exhorting to remain in the faith, and that through many tribulations it behoveth us to enter into the reign of God,

²³and having appointed to them by vote elders in every assembly, having prayed with fastings, they commended them to the Lord in whom they had believed.

²⁴And having passed through Pisidia, they came to Pamphylia,

²⁵and having spoken in Perga the word, they went down to Attalia,

²⁶and thence did sail to Antioch, whence they had been given by the grace of God for the work that they fulfilled;
