Atos 14
Men det skete i Ikonium, at de sammen gik ind i Jødernes Synagoge og talte således, at en stor Mængde,både af Jøder og Grækere, troede.
Men de Jøder, som vare genstridige, ophidsede Hedningernes Sind og satte ondt i dem imod Brødrene.
De opholdt sig nu en Tid lang der og talte med Frimodighed i Herren, som gav sin Nådes Ord Vidnesbyrd, idet han lod Tegn og Undere ske ved deres Hænder.
Men Mængden i Byen blev uenig, og nogle holdt med Jøderne, andre med Apostlene.
Men da der blev et Opløb, både af Hedningerne og Jøderne med samt deres Rådsherrer, for at mishandle og stene dem,
og de fik dette at vide, flygtede de bort til Byerne i Lykaonien, Lystra og Derbe, og til det omliggende Land,
og der forkyndte de Evangeliet.
Og i Lystra sad der en Mand, som var kraftesløs i Fødderne, lam fra Moders Liv, og han havde aldrig gået.
Han hørte Paulus tale; og da denne fæstede Øjet på ham og så, at han havde Tro til at frelses, sagde han med høj Røst:
Og de kaldte Barnabas Zens, men Paulus Hermes, fordi han var den, som førte Ordet.
Men Præsten ved Zenstemplet, som var uden for Byen, bragte Tyre og Kranse hen til Portene og vilde ofre tillige med Skarerne.
Men da Apostlene, Barnabas og Paulus, hørte dette, sønderreve de deres Klæder og sprang ind i Skaren,
han, som i de forbigangne Tider lod alle Hedningerne vandre deres egne Veje,
Og det var med Nød og næppe, at de ved at sige dette afholdt Skarerne fra at ofre til dem.
Men der kom Jøder til fra Antiokia og Ikonium, og de overtalte Skarerne og stenede Paulus og slæbte ham uden for Byen i den Tro, at han var død.
Men da Disciplene omringede ham, stod han op og gik ind i Byen. Og den næste Dag gik han med Barnabas bort til Derbe.
Og da de havde forkyndt Evangeliet i denne By og vundet mange Disciple, vendte de tilbage til Lystra og Ikonium og Antiokia
og styrkede Disciplenes Sjæle og påmindede dem om at blive i Troen og om, at vi må igennem mange Trængsler indgå i Guds Rige.
Men efter at de i hver Menighed havde udvalgt Ældste for dem, overgave de dem under Bøn og Faste til Herren, hvem de havde givet deres Tro.
Og de droge igennem Pisidien og kom til Pamfylien.
Og da de havde talt Ordet i Perge, droge de ned til Attalia.
Og derfra sejlede de til Antiokia, hvorfra de vare blevne overgivne til Guds Nåde til den Gerning, som de havde fuldbragt.
Men da de kom derhen og havde forsamlet Menigheden, forkyndte de, hvor store Ting Gud havde gjort med dem, og at han havde åbnet en Troens Dør for Hedningerne.
Men de opholdt sig en ikke liden Tid sammen med Disciplene.
And it came to pass in Iconium, that they went both together into the synagogue of the Jews, and so spake, that a great multitude both of the Jews and also of the Greeks believed.
But the unbelieving Jews stirred up the Gentiles, and made their minds evil affected against the brethren.
Long time therefore abode they speaking boldly in the Lord, which gave testimony unto the word of his grace, and granted signs and wonders to be done by their hands.
But the multitude of the city was divided: and part held with the Jews, and part with the apostles.
And when there was an assault made both of the Gentiles, and also of the Jews with their rulers, to use {them} despitefully, and to stone them,
They were ware of {it}, and fled unto Lystra and Derbe, cities of Lycaonia, and unto the region that lieth round about:
And there they preached the gospel.
And there sat a certain man at Lystra, impotent in his feet, being a cripple from his mother's womb, who never had walked:
The same heard Paul speak: who stedfastly beholding him, and perceiving that he had faith to be healed,
Said with a loud voice, Stand upright on thy feet. And he leaped and walked.
And when the people saw what Paul had done, they lifted up their voices, saying in the speech of Lycaonia, The gods are come down to us in the likeness of men.
And they called Barnabas, Jupiter; and Paul, Mercurius, because he was the chief speaker.
Then the priest of Jupiter, which was before their city, brought oxen and garlands unto the gates, and would have done sacrifice with the people.
{Which} when the apostles, Barnabas and Paul, heard {of}, they rent their clothes, and ran in among the people, crying out,
And saying, Sirs, why do ye these things? We also are men of like passions with you, and preach unto you that ye should turn from these vanities unto the living God, which made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and all things that are therein:
Who in times past suffered all nations to walk in their own ways.
Nevertheless he left not himself without witness, in that he did good, and gave us rain from heaven, and fruitful seasons, filling our hearts with food and gladness.
And with these sayings scarce restrained they the people, that they had not done sacrifice unto them.
And there came thither {certain} Jews from Antioch and Iconium, who persuaded the people, and, having stoned Paul, drew {him} out of the city, supposing he had been dead.
Howbeit, as the disciples stood round about him, he rose up, and came into the city: and the next day he departed with Barnabas to Derbe.
And when they had preached the gospel to that city, and had taught many, they returned again to Lystra, and {to} Iconium, and Antioch, {had taught many: Gr. had made many disciples}
Confirming the souls of the disciples, {and} exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that we must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God.
And when they had ordained them elders in every church, and had prayed with fasting, they commended them to the Lord, on whom they believed.
And after they had passed throughout Pisidia, they came to Pamphylia.
And when they had preached the word in Perga, they went down into Attalia:
And thence sailed to Antioch, from whence they had been recommended to the grace of God for the work which they fulfilled.
And when they were come, and had gathered the church together, they rehearsed all that God had done with them, and how he had opened the door of faith unto the Gentiles.
And there they abode long time with the disciples.
