1
The same thing happened in the city of Iconium. Paul and Barnabas went into the synagogue and spoke in such a way that a large crowd of Jews and Greeks believed.
2
But the Jews who refused to believe stirred up some people who were not Jewish and poisoned their minds against the believers.
3
Paul and Barnabas stayed in the city of Iconium for a long time. They spoke boldly about the Lord, who confirmed their message about his good will by having them perform miracles and do amazing things.
4
But the people of Iconium were divided. Some were for the Jews, while others were for the apostles.
5
In the meantime, Paul and Barnabas found out that the non-Jewish people and the Jewish people with their rulers planned to attack them and stone them to death.
6
So they escaped to Lystra and Derbe, cities of Lycaonia, and to the surrounding territory.
7
They spread the Good News there.
8
A man who was born lame was in Lystra. He was always sitting because he had never been able to walk.
9
He listened to what Paul was saying. Paul observed him closely and saw that the man believed he could be made well.
10
So Paul said in a loud voice, "Stand up." The man jumped up and began to walk.
