Paul Stoned at Lystra
19 1But Jews came from Antioch and Iconium, and having persuaded the crowds,
2they stoned Paul and dragged him out of the city, supposing that he was dead.
20
But when the disciples gathered about him, he rose up and entered the city, and on the next day he went on with Barnabas to Derbe.
21
When they had preached the gospel to that city and had
3made many disciples, they returned to Lystra and to Iconium and to Antioch,
22
4strengthening the souls of the disciples, encouraging them
5to continue in
6the faith, and saying that
7through many tribulations we must enter the kingdom of God.
23
And when they had
8appointed
9elders for them in every church, with prayer and fasting
10they committed them to the Lord in whom they had believed.
