1 And it came to pass in Iconium that they entered together into the synagogue of the Jews, and so spake that a great multitude both of Jews and of Greeks believed. 2 But the Jews that were disobedient stirred up the souls of the Gentiles, and made them evil affected against the brethren. 3 Long time therefore they tarried there speaking boldly in the Lord, who bare witness unto the word of his grace, granting signs and wonders to be done by their hands. 4 But the multitude of the city was divided; and part held with the Jews, and part with the apostles. 5 And when there was made an onset both of the Gentiles and of the Jews with their rulers, to treat them shamefully and to stone them, 6 they became aware of it, and fled unto the cities of Lycaonia, Lystra and Derbe, and the region round about: 7 and there they preached the gospel.

8 And at Lystra there sat a certain man, impotent in his feet, a cripple from his mother’s womb, who never had walked. 9 The same heard Paul speaking: who, fastening his eyes upon him, and seeing that he had faith to be made whole, 10 said with a loud voice, Stand upright on thy feet. And he leaped up and walked. 11 And when the multitude saw what Paul had done, they lifted up their voice, saying in the speech of Lycaonia, The gods are come down to us in the likeness of men. 12 And they called Barnabas, Jupiter; and Paul, Mercury, because he was the chief speaker. 13 And the priest of Jupiter whose temple was before the city, brought oxen and garlands unto the gates, and would have done sacrifice with the multitudes. 14 But when the apostles, Barnabas and Paul, heard of it, they rent their garments, and sprang forth among the multitude, crying out 15 and saying, Sirs, why do ye these things? We also are men of like passions with you, and bring you good tidings, that ye should turn from these vain things unto a living God, who made the heaven and the earth and the sea, and all that in them is: 16 who in the generations gone by suffered all the nations to walk in their own ways. 17 And yet he left not himself without witness, in that he did good and gave you from heaven rains and fruitful seasons, filling your hearts with food and gladness. 18 And with these sayings scarce restrained they the multitudes from doing sacrifice unto them.

19 But there came Jews thither from Antioch and Iconium: and having persuaded the multitudes, they stoned Paul, and dragged him out of the city, supposing that he was dead. 20 But as the disciples stood round about him, he rose up, and entered into the city: and on the morrow he went forth with Barnabas to Derbe. 21 And when they had preached the gospel to that city, and had made many disciples, they returned to Lystra, and to Iconium, and to Antioch, 22 confirming the souls of the disciples, exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that through many tribulations we must enter into the kingdom of God. 23 And when they had appointed for them elders in every church, and had prayed with fasting, they commended them to the Lord, on whom they had believed. 24 And they passed through Pisidia, and came to Pamphylia. 25 And when they had spoken the word in Perga, they went down to Attalia; 26 and thence they sailed to Antioch, from whence they had been committed to the grace of God for the work which they had fulfilled. 27 And when they were come, and had gathered the church together, they rehearsed all things that God had done with them, and that he had opened a door of faith unto the Gentiles. 28 And they tarried no little time with the disciples.

1 Aga Ikoonionis sündis, et nad üheskoos läksid juutide kogudusekotta ja kõnelesid nõnda, et niihästi suur hulk juute kui kreeklasi sai usklikuks.

2 Aga uskmatud juudid kihutasid üles ja ärritasid paganate meeled vihale vendade vastu.

3 Siis nad viibisid seal kauemat aega, kuulutades julgesti Issandat, Kes andis tunnistuse Oma armusõnale ja laskis sündida tunnustähti ja imetegusid nende käte läbi.

4 Aga linna rahvas jagunes kaheks: ühed olid juutide, teised Apostlite poolt.

5 Kui siis paganad ja juudid oma ülematega ühel nõul tahtsid tulla nende kallale, et neid teotada ja kividega visata,

6 said nad seda teada ja põgenesid Lükaoonia linnadesse, Lüstrasse ja Derbesse ja nende ümbrusesse

7 ja kuulutasid seal Evangeeliumi.

8 Ja Lüstras istus mees, võimetu seisma, oma emaihust jalutu, kes ei olnud elades kõndinud.

9 See kuulis Pauluse kõnet. Ja kui Paulus teda silmas ning nägi, et tal oli usku terveks saada,

10 ütles ta suure häälega: „Tõuse püsti oma jalgele!" Ja ta kargas üles ja kõndis.

11 Aga kui rahvas nägi, mis Paulus oli teinud, siis nad tõstsid oma häält ning ütlesid lükaoonia keeli: „Jumalad on inimeste sarnastena alla tulnud meie juurde!"

12 Ja nad nimetasid Barnabast Zeusiks ja Paulust Hermeseks, sest tema oli see, kes kõneles.

13 Ja Zeusi preester linna aguli templist tõi härgi ja lillepärgi värava ette ja tahtis ohverdada ühes rahvaga.

14 Aga kui Apostlid Barnabas ja Paulus seda kuulsid, rebestasid nad oma riided, kargasid hüüdes rahva sekka

15 ning ütlesid: „Mehed, miks te seda teete? Meie oleme niisamasugused nõdrad inimesed nagu teiegi ja kuulutame teile Evangeeliumi, et te tühjest asjust pöörduksite elava Jumala poole, Kes on teinud taeva ja maa ja mere ning kõik, mis nende sees on,

16 Kes endisel põlvel on lasknud kõik rahvad käia Omi teid,

17 ja siiski ei ole jätnud andmata enesest tunnistust, vaid on meile head teinud, ja on taevast meile andnud vihma ja head viljalist aega ja rooga ning on täitnud meie südame rõõmuga!"

18 Nii kõneldes nad vaevalt vaigistasid rahva, et see neile ei ohverdaks.

19 Aga Antiookiast ja Ikoonionist tuli sinna juute ja need meelitasid hulga eneste poole ja viskasid Paulust kividega ning vedasid ta linnast välja, arvates, et ta on surnud.

20 Aga kui jüngrid olid tema ümber tulnud, tõusis ta üles ja läks linna. Ja järgmisel päeval ta läks ühes Barnabasega Derbesse.

21 Ja kui nad selles linnas olid kuulutanud Evangeeliumi ja saanud mõned jüngreiks, läksid nad tagasi Lüstrasse, Ikoonioni ja Antiookiasse ning

22 kinnitasid jüngrite hingi, manitsedes neid jääma ususse ning seletades, et meil mitme viletsuse kaudu tuleb minna Jumala Riiki.

23 Ja kui nad neile igas koguduses käte pealepanemisega olid seadnud vanemad, jätsid nad paastudes ja palvetades nemad Issanda hooleks, Kellesse need nüüd uskusid.

24 Siis nad käisid läbi Pisiidiamaa ja saabusid Pamfüüliasse.

25 Ja kui nad Perges olid sõna kuulutanud, läksid nad Ataaliasse.

26 Sealt nad purjetasid Antiookiasse, kust nad olid väljunud Jumala armu hooleks antuina sellele tööle, mille nad olid lõpetanud.

27 Ja kui nad olid saabunud, kogusid nad koguduse kokku ja kuulutasid, mis suuri asju Jumal oli teinud, olles nendega, ja et ta oli avanud paganaile usu ukse.

28 Ja nad viibisid seal kauemat aega jüngrite juures.
