 <<  Kisah Para Rasul 14 >> 

1At Iconium they went together into the Jewish synagogue and spoke to such purpose that Jews and Greeks in large numbers became believers.

2But the unconverted Jews stirred up the Gentiles and poisoned their minds against the Christians.

3So Paul and Barnabas stayed on for some time, and spoke boldly and openly in reliance on the Lord, who confirmed the message of his grace by enabling them to work signs and miracles.

4The populace was divided, some siding with the Jews, others with the apostles.

5A move was made by Gentiles and Jews together, with the connivance of the city authorities, to maltreat them and stone them,

6and when they became aware of this, they made their escape to the Lycaonian cities of Lystra and Derbe and the surrounding country.

7There they continued to spread the good news.

8At Lystra a cripple, lame from birth, who had never walked in his life,

9sat listening to Paul as he spoke. Paul fixed his eyes on him and, seeing that he had the faith to be cured,

10said in a loud voice, “Stand up straight on your feet”; and he sprang up and began to walk.

11When the crowds saw what Paul had done, they shouted, in their native Lycaonian, “The gods have come down to us in human form!”

12They called Barnabas Zeus, and Paul they called Hermes, because he was the spokesman.

13The priest of Zeus, whose temple was just outside the city, brought oxen and garlands to the gates, and he and the people were about to offer sacrifice.

14But when the apostles Barnabas and Paul heard of it, they tore their clothes and rushed into the crowd shouting,

15“Men, why are you doing this? We are human beings, just like you. The good news we bring tells you to turn from these follies to the living God, who made heaven and earth and sea and everything in them.

16In past ages he has allowed all nations to go their own way;

17and yet he has not left you without some clue to his nature, in the benefits he bestows: he sends you rain from heaven and the crops in their seasons, and gives you food in plenty and keeps you in good heart.”

18Even with these words they barely managed to prevent the crowd from offering sacrifice to them.

19Then Jews from Antioch and Iconium came on the scene and won over the crowds. They stoned Paul, and dragged him out of the city, thinking him dead.

20The disciples formed a ring round him, and he got to his feet and went into the city. Next day he left with Barnabas for Derbe.

21After bringing the good news to that town and gaining many converts, they returned to Lystra, then to Iconium, and then to Antioch,

22strengthening the disciples and encouraging them to be true to the faith. They warned them that to enter the kingdom of God we must undergo many hardships.

23They also appointed for them elders in each congregation, and with prayer and fasting committed them to the Lord in whom they had put their trust.

24They passed through Pisidia and came into Pamphylia.

25When they had delivered the message at Perga, they went down to Attalia,

26and from there sailed to Antioch, where they had originally been commended to the grace of God for the task which they had now completed.

27On arrival there, they called the congregation together and reported all that God had accomplished through them, and how he had thrown open the gates of faith to the Gentiles.

28And they stayed for some time with the disciples there.
