1 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. 2 But the unbelieving Jews stirred up the Gentiles, and made their minds evil affected against the brethren. 3 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. 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 an assault made both of the Gentiles, and also of the Jews with their rulers, to use them despitefully, and to stone them, 6 They were ware of it, and fled unto Lystra and Derbe, cities of Lycaonia, and unto the region that lieth round about: 7 And there they preached the gospel.

8 And there sat a certain man at Lystra, impotent in his feet, being a cripple from his mother’s womb, who never had walked: 9 The same heard Paul speak: who stedfastly beholding him, and perceiving that he had faith to be healed, 10 Said with a loud voice, Stand upright on thy feet. And he leaped and walked. 11 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. 12 And they called Barnabas, Jupiter; and Paul, Mercurius, because he was the chief speaker. 13 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. 14 Which when the apostles, Barnabas and Paul, heard of, they rent their clothes, and ran in among the people, crying out, 15 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: 16 Who in times past suffered all nations to walk in their own ways. 17 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. 18 And with these sayings scarce restrained they the people, that they had not done sacrifice unto them.

19 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. 20 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. 21 And when they had preached the gospel to that city, and had taught many, they returned again to Lystra, and to Iconium, and Antioch, 22 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. 23 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. 24 And after they had passed throughout Pisidia, they came to Pamphylia. 25 And when they had preached the word in Perga, they went down into Attalia: 26 And thence sailed to Antioch, from whence they had been recommended to the grace of God for the work which they fulfilled. 27 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. 28 And there they abode long 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.
