Then some Jewish people came from Antioch and Iconium and persuaded the people to turn against Paul. So they threw stones at him and dragged him out of town, thinking they had killed him.
20
But the followers gathered around him, and he got up and went back into the town. The next day he and Barnabas left and went to the city of Derbe.
21
Paul and Barnabas told the Good News in Derbe, and many became followers. Paul and Barnabas returned to Lystra, Iconium, and Antioch,
22
making the followers of Jesus stronger and helping them stay in the faith. They said, "We must suffer many things to enter God's kingdom."
23
They chose elders for each church, by praying and giving up eating for a certain time. These elders had trusted the Lord, so Paul and Barnabas put them in the Lord's care.
24
Then they went through Pisidia and came to Pamphylia.
25
When they had preached the message in Perga, they went down to Attalia.
26
And from there they sailed away to Antioch where the believers had put them into God's care and had sent them out to do this work. Now they had finished.
27
When they arrived in Antioch, Paul and Barnabas gathered the church together. They told the church all about what God had done with them and how God had made it possible for those who were not Jewish to believe.
28
And they stayed there a long time with the followers.
