1 En op dieselfde wyse het hulle in Ikonium in die sinagoge van die Jode ingegaan en so gespreek dat 'n groot menigte Jode sowel as Grieke gelowig geword het.
2 Maar die ongehoorsame Jode het die gemoedere van die heidene teen die broeders opgehits en verbitter.
3 Hulle het toe 'n geruime tyd daar deurgebring en vrymoediglik gespreek in die Here, wat aan die woord van sy genade getuienis gegee het deur te beskik dat tekens en wonders deur hulle hande plaasvind.
4 En die menigte van die stad was verdeeld, en sommige het met die Jode en ander met die apostels saamgegaan.
5 Maar toe daar onder die heidene en ook onder die Jode, saam met hulle owerstes, 'n beweging ontstaan het om hulle te mishandel en te stenig,
6 het hulle dit gewaargeword en gevlug na die stede van Likaonië, Listre en Derbe en die omstreke.
7 En daar het hulle die evangelie verkondig.
8 En in Listre het daar 'n man gesit wat magteloos was aan sy voete, kreupel van sy geboorte af, en hy het nooit geloop nie.
9 Hy het geluister terwyl Paulus spreek; en Paulus het die oë op hom gehou, en, toe hy sien dat hy geloof het om gesond te word,
10 met 'n groot stem gesê: Staan regop op jou voete! En hy het opgespring en begin rondloop.
11 En toe die skare sien wat Paulus gedoen het, verhef hulle hul stem en sê in Likaonies: Die gode het soos mense geword en neergedaal na ons toe.
12 En hulle het vir B rnabas Jupiter genoem, en vir Paulus Mercurius, omdat hy die woordvoerder was.
13 En die priester van Jupiter wie se tempel voor hulle stad was, het stiere en kranse na die poorte gebring en wou saam met die skare offer.
14 Maar toe die apostels, B rnabas en Paulus, dit hoor, het hulle hul klere geskeur en onder die skare ingespring en geroep
15 en gesê: Manne, waarom doen julle hierdie dinge? Ons is net sulke mense soos julle, en ons verkondig die evangelie dat julle jul van hierdie nietige dinge moet bekeer tot die lewende God wat die hemel en die aarde en die see en alles wat daarin is, gemaak het.
16 Hy het in die tye wat verby is, toegelaat dat al die nasies in hulle eie weë sou wandel,
17 al het Hy Homself nie onbetuig gelaat nie, deur goed te doen, van die hemel vir ons reën en vrugbare tye te gee en ons harte met voedsel en vrolikheid te vervul.
18 Selfs met hierdie woorde het hulle met moeite die skare verhinder om aan hulle te offer.
19 Maar daar het Jode van Antioch¡ë en Ikonium aangekom, en hulle het, nadat hulle die skare omgepraat het, Paulus gestenig en hom buitekant die stad gesleep, met die gedagte dat hy dood was.
20 Maar toe die dissipels hom omring, het hy opgestaan en in die stad gekom en die volgende dag saam met B rnabas na Derbe vertrek.
21 En nadat hulle aan daardie stad die evangelie verkondig en 'n aantal dissipels gemaak het, het hulle teruggegaan na Listre en Ikonium en Antioch¡ë,
22 en die siele van die dissipels versterk en hulle vermaan om in die geloof te bly deur te sê: Ons moet deur baie verdrukkinge in die koninkryk van God ingaan.
23 En hulle het in elke gemeente vir hulle ouderlinge gekies, en hulle, n gebed en vas, opgedra aan die Here in wie hulle geglo het.
24 Toe gaan hulle deur Pis¡dië en kom in Pamf¡lië;
25 en nadat hulle die woord in Perge verkondig het, het hulle afgegaan na Att lië.
26 En daarvandaan het hulle weggevaar na Antioch¡ë, waar hulle aan die genade van God opgedra was vir die werk wat hulle volbring het.
27 En toe hulle daar kom en die gemeente saamgeroep het, het hulle verslag gedoen van al die dinge wat God met hulle gedoen het, en dat Hy 'n deur van geloof vir die heidene geopen het.
28 En hulle het daar by die dissipels 'n geruime tyd deurgebring.
1 Now in Iconium they went together to the Synagogue of the Jews and gave such teaching that a great number of Jews and Greeks had faith.
2 But those Jews who had not the faith, made the minds of the Gentiles bitter against the brothers.
3 So they kept there for a long time, taking heart in the Lord, who gave witness to the word of his grace by causing signs and wonders to be done by their hands.
4 But there was a division among the people of the town; some were on the side of the Jews and some on the side of the Apostles.
5 And when a violent attempt was made by the Gentiles and the Jews, with their rulers, to make an attack on them and have them stoned,
6 Having got news of it, they went in flight to the towns of Lycaonia, Lystra, and Derbe, and the country round about:
7 And went on preaching the good news there.
8 And at Lystra there was a certain man, who from birth had been without the use of his feet, never having had the power of walking.
9 This man was giving ear to the preaching of Paul, who, looking at him, and seeing that he had faith to be made well,
10 Said in a loud voice, Get up on your feet. And, jumping up, he went walking about.
11 And when the people saw what Paul had done, they said in a loud voice, in the language of Lycaonia, The gods have come down to us in the form of men.
12 And they gave the name of Jupiter to Barnabas, and to Paul that of Mercury, because he was the chief talker.
13 And the priest of the image of Jupiter, which was before the town, took oxen and flowers to the doors of the town, and was about to make an offering with the people.
14 But when this came to the ears of the Apostles, Paul and Barnabas, they went running out among the people, parting their clothing, and crying out,
15 Good people, why are you doing these things? We are men with the same feelings as you, and we give you the good news so that you may be turned away from these foolish things to the living God, who made the heaven and the earth and the sea and all things in them:
16 Who in the past let all nations go in the ways which seemed good to them.
17 But he was not without witness, because he did good, and gave you rain from heaven and times of fruit, making your hearts full of food and joy.
18 And even with these words, it was hard for them to keep the people from making an offering to them.
19 But some Jews came to that place from Antioch and Iconium, and got control over the people; and after stoning Paul, they had him pulled out of the town, taking him for dead.
20 But when the disciples came round him, he got up and went into the town: and the day after he went away with Barnabas to Derbe.
21 And having made a number of disciples through the preaching of the good news in that town, they went back to Lystra and Iconium and Antioch,
22 Making strong the souls of the disciples, saying to them that they were to keep the faith, and that we have to go through troubles of all sorts to come into the kingdom of God.
23 And when they had made selection of some to be rulers in every church, and had given themselves to prayer and kept themselves from food, they put them into the care of the Lord in whom they had faith.
24 And they went through Pisidia and came to Pamphylia.
25 And, after preaching the word in Perga, they went down to Attalia;
26 And from there they went by ship to Antioch, where they had been handed over to the grace of God for the work which they had not done.
27 And when they came there, and had got the church together, they gave them an account of all the things which God had done through them, and how he had made open a door of faith to the Gentiles.
28 And they were with the disciples there for a long time.
