Paul and Barnabas at Iconium
14:1 The same thing happened in Iconium when Paul and Barnabas went into the Jewish synagogue and spoke in such a way that a large group of both Jews and Greeks believed .
14:2 But the Jews who refused to believe stirred up the Gentiles and poisoned their minds against the brothers .
14:3 So they stayed there for a considerable time , speaking out courageously for the Lord , who testified to the message of his grace , granting miraculous signs and wonders to be performed through their hands .
14:4 But the population of the city was divided ; some sided with the Jews , and some with the apostles .
14:5 When both the Gentiles and the Jews (together with their rulers ) made an attempt to mistreat them and stone them ,
14:6 Paul and Barnabas learned about it and fled to the Lycaonian cities of Lystra and Derbe and the surrounding region .
