Acts 14:18-28

¹⁸And saying these things, they scarcely stopped the crowds from sacrificing to them.

¹⁹But there arrived from Antioch and Iconium certain Jews, and having persuaded the crowds and having stoned Paul, they dragged him outside the city, thinking he was dead.

²⁰But when the disciples encircled him, he stood and entered into the city. And the next day he went out together with Barnabas to Derbe.

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

²²strengthening the souls of the disciples, urging them to continue in the faith, saying, “Through many tribulations we must enter into the kingdom of God.”

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

²⁴And having crossed Pisidia, they came to Pamphylia.

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

²⁶From there they sailed to Antioch, where they were commended to the grace of God for the work which they had fulfilled.

²⁷Now arriving and gathering the church together, they related all that God had done with them, and that He had opened the door of faith for the Gentiles.

²⁸And they spent a long time there with the disciples.
