New International Reader's Version

Acts 14:4-9 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

4. The people of the city did not agree with each other. Some were on the side of the Jews. Others were on the side of the apostles.

5. Jews and non-Jews alike planned to treat Paul and Barnabas badly. Their leaders agreed. They planned to kill them by throwing stones at them.

6. But Paul and Barnabas found out about the plan. They escaped to the Lycaonian cities of Lystra and Derbe and to the surrounding area.

7. There they continued to preach the good news.

8. In Lystra there sat a man who couldn't walk. He hadn't been able to use his feet since the day he was born.

9. He listened as Paul spoke. Paul looked right at him. He saw that the man had faith to be healed.
