Acts 14:1

Acts 14:1

At Iconium

1 Now it happened in Iconium that they went together to the synagogue of the Jews, and so spoke that a great multitude both of the Jews and of the ^aGreeks believed.

2 But the unbelieving Jews stirred up the Gentiles and¹ poisoned their minds against the brethren.

3 Therefore they stayed there a long time, speaking boldly in the Lord, ^awho was bearing witness to the word of His grace, granting signs and ^bwonders to be done by their hands.

4 But the multitude of the city was ^adivided: part sided with the Jews, and part with the ^bapostles.

5 And when a violent attempt was made by both the Gentiles and Jews, with their rulers, ^ato abuse and stone them,

6 they became aware of it and ^afled to Lystra and Derbe, cities of Lycaonia, and to the surrounding region.

7 And they were preaching the gospel there.

MEETING WITH SIMILAR SUCCESS AND SIMILAR OPPOSITION AT ICONIUM, PAUL AND BARNABAS FLEE FOR THEIR LIVES TO LYSTRA AND DERBE, AND PREACH THERE. (Acts 14:1-7)

they went both together into the synagogue—Though Paul was now the prominent speaker and actor, yet in everything Barnabas went along with him.

a . . . multitude . . . of the Greeks believed—meaning probably the religious proselytes, as opposed to "the Gentiles" mentioned Acts 14:2.
