Acts 14:1-10 ▼

1 Now in Iconium Paul and Barnabas went into the Jewish synagogue together and spoke in such a way [with such power and boldness] that a large number of Jews as well as Greeks believed [and confidently accepted Jesus as Savior];

2 but the unbelieving Jews [who rejected Jesus as Messiah] stirred up and embittered the minds of the Gentiles against the believers.

3 So Paul and Barnabas stayed for a long time, speaking boldly and confidently for the Lord, who continued to testify to the word of His grace, granting that signs and wonders (attesting miracles) be done by them.

4 But the people of the city were divided; some were siding with the Jews, and some with the apostles.

5 When there was an attempt by both the Gentiles and the Jews, together with their rulers, to shamefully mistreat and to stone them,

6 they, aware of the situation, escaped to Lystra and Derbe, [taking refuge in the] cities of Lycaonia, and the neighboring region;

7 and there they continued to preach the good news.

8 Now at Lystra a man sat who was unable to use his feet, for he was crippled from birth and had never walked.

9 This man was listening to Paul as he spoke, and Paul looked intently at him and saw that he had faith to be healed,

10 and said with a loud voice, “Stand up on your feet.” And he jumped up and began to walk.
