1. Now in Iconium, the same thing happened—they entered as usual into the Jewish synagogue and spoke in such a way that a large number of Jewish and Greek people believed.
2. But the Jewish people who would not believe stirred up the Gentiles and poisoned their minds against the brothers.
3. So they stayed there a considerable time, speaking boldly in the Lord—who was testifying to the message of His grace, granting signs and wonders to come about by their hands.
4. But the population of the city split; some were with the Jewish leaders and some were with the emissaries.
5. Now it happened that an attempt was made by both the Gentiles and Jewish people, along with their rulers, to abuse and stone them.
6. But they found out about it and fled to the Lycaonian cities of Lystra and Derbe and the surrounding countryside.
7. There they proclaimed the Good News.
8. Now a man was sitting in Lystra without strength in his feet, lame from birth, who had never walked.
9. This man heard Paul speaking. When Paul looked intently at him and saw that he had faith to be healed,
10. he said with a loud voice, “Stand right up! On your feet!” And the man leaped up and began to walk around!
11. Now the crowd, seeing what Paul had done, lifted up their voices, saying in Lycaonian, “The gods have become like men and come down to us!”
12. And they began calling Barnabas “Zeus” and Paul “Hermes” (because he was the main speaker).
13. The priest of Zeus, whose temple was before the front gate of the city, brought bulls and garlands; he wanted to offer a sacrifice with the people.
