Preaching In Iconium
1 It happened in Iconium that Paul and Barnabas [again] entered the Jewish synagogue and presented the message [so powerfully] that a large number of both Jews and Greeks [i.e., Gentiles] became believers.
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.
1 In (A)Iconium (B)they entered the synagogue of the Jews together, and spoke in such a manner (C)that a large number of people believed, both of Jews and of (D)Greeks.
1 The same thing happened in Iconium; they entered the Jewish synagogue and spoke in such a way that a great number of both Jews and Greeks believed.(A)
1 In Iconium, Paul and Barnabas went into the Jewish synagogue and spoke in such a way that a great number of both Jews and Greeks believed.
2 But the Jews who did not obey [the Gospel message] incited the spirits of the [unconverted] Gentiles and poisoned their minds against the brothers.
2 But the unbelieving Jews stirred up the Gentiles, and made their minds evil affected against the brethren.
2 But (E)the Jews who (a)(F)disbelieved stirred up the (b)minds of the Gentiles and embittered them against (G)the brethren.
2 But the Jews who refused to believe stirred up and poisoned the minds of the Gentiles against the brothers.(B)
2 But the Jews who refused to believe stirred up the gentiles and poisoned their minds against the brothers.
3 Paul and Barnabas remained there a long time and spoke [the message] boldly for [or, in the power of] the Lord who gave His approval to the message of unearned favor by allowing [miraculous] signs and wonders to be performed by them.
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.
3 Therefore they spent a long time there (H)speaking boldly with reliance upon the Lord, who was testifying to the word of His grace, granting that (c)(I)signs and wonders be done by their hands.
3 So they stayed there for some time and spoke boldly in reliance on the Lord, who testified to the message of His grace by granting that signs and wonders be performed through them.(C)
3 They stayed there a considerable time and continued to speak boldly for the Lord, who kept affirming his word of grace and granting signs and wonders to be done by them.
4 But the large crowd in the city [who heard them] became divided [over how to respond to it]; some sided with the [unbelieving] Jews and some with the apostles.
4 But the multitude of the city was divided: and part held with the Jews, and part with the apostles.
4 (J)But the (d)people of the city were divided; and some (e)sided with (K)the Jews, and some with (L)the apostles.
4 But the people of the city were divided. Some were with the Jews, while others were with the apostles.
5 And when the Jews, along with their rulers and [unconverted] Gentiles, all mounted an attack, intending to stone them,
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,
5 And when an attempt was made by both the Gentiles and (M)the Jews with their rulers, to mistreat and to (N)stone them,
5 When an attempt was made by both the Gentiles and Jews, with their rulers, to assault and stone them,
5 Now when an attempt was made by both gentiles and Jews, along with their authorities, to mistreat and stone them,
6 Paul and Barnabas found out about it and escaped to the towns of Lystra and Derbe, in the province of Lycaonia, and elsewhere in the vicinity.
6 They were ware of it, and fled unto Lystra and Derbe, cities of Lycaonia, and unto the region that lieth round about:
6 they became aware of it and fled to the cities of (O)Lycaonia, (P)Lystra and (Q)Derbe, and the surrounding region;
6 they found out about it and fled to the Lycaonian towns called Lystra and Derbe, and to the surrounding countryside.(E)

Mistaken For Gods In Lystra
8 At Lystra they met a certain man sitting [on the street] who had a crippling handicap in his feet which he had suffered since birth. [It was so severe] he was never able to walk.
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:
8 At (S)Lystra (T)a man was sitting who had no strength in his feet, lame from his mother’s womb, who had never walked.
8 Now in Lystra there was a man sitting down who couldn't use his feet. He had been crippled from birth and had never walked.
9 As he listened to Paul, [the apostle] looked at him intently, perceiving that he had [enough] faith to be fully healed [of his lame condition],
9 The same heard Paul speak: who stedfastly beholding him, and perceiving that he had faith to be healed,
9 This man was listening to Paul as he spoke, who, (U)when he had fixed his gaze on him and had seen that he had (V)faith to be (f)made well,
9 and heard Paul speaking. After observing him closely and seeing that he had faith to be healed,
9 He was listening to Paul as he spoke. Paul watched him closely, and when he saw that he had faith to be healed,
10 so he said loudly, "Stand straight up on your feet." And the man jumped up and began walking.
10 Said with a loud voice, Stand upright on thy feet. And he leaped and walked.
10 Paul said in a loud voice, “Stand upright on your feet!” And he jumped up and started to walk around.(G)
10 he said in a loud voice, "Stand up straight on your feet!" Then the man jumped up and began to walk.
11 And when the crowd saw what Paul had done, they shouted in the dialect of Lycaonia, "The gods have come down to us in human form."
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.
11 When the crowds saw what Paul had done, they raised their voice, saying in the (X)Lycaonian language, “(Y)The gods have become like men and have come down to us.”
11 When the crowds saw what Paul had done, they raised their voices, saying in the Lycaonian language, “The gods have come down to us in the form of men!”(H)
11 When the crowds saw what Paul had done, they shouted in the Lycaonian language, "The gods have become like men and have come down to us!"
12 So, they called Barnabas, "Zeus," and Paul "Hermes," because Paul was the principal speaker.
12 And they called Barnabas, Jupiter; and Paul, Mercurius, because he was the chief speaker.
12 And they began calling Barnabas, (g)Zeus, and Paul, (h)Hermes, because he was (i)the chief speaker.
12 And they started to call Barnabas, Zeus, and Paul, Hermes, because he was the main speaker.
12 They began to call Barnabas Zeus, and Paul Hermes, because he was the main speaker.
13 Then the priest of Zeus, whose temple was at the entrance of the city, brought bulls and wreaths of flowers to the gates [of the heathen temple], wanting to offer [animal] sacrifices on behalf of the crowds.
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.
13 The priest of Zeus, whose temple was (j)just outside the city, brought oxen and garlands to the gates, and (Z)wanted to offer sacrifice with the crowds.
13 Then the priest of Zeus, whose temple was just outside the town, brought oxen and garlands to the gates. He, with the crowds, intended to offer sacrifice.
13 The priest of the temple of Zeus, which was just outside the city, brought bulls and garlands to the gates. He and the crowds wanted to offer sacrifices.
14 But when the apostles Barnabas and Paul heard about what they were trying to do [to them], they tore their clothes [i.e., as an expression of frustration] and rushed over to the crowd and shouted,
14 Which when the apostles, Barnabas and Paul, heard of, they rent their clothes, and ran in among the people, crying out,
14 But when (AA)the apostles Barnabas and Paul heard of it, they (AB)tore their (k)robes and rushed out into the crowd, crying out
14 The apostles Barnabas and Paul tore their robes when they heard this and rushed into the crowd, shouting:(I)
14 But when the apostles Barnabas and Paul heard of it, they tore their clothes and rushed out into the crowd, shouting,
15 "Gentlemen, why are you doing these things? [Do you not know that] we are also human beings with the same kind of feelings that you have? And we are just bringing you the good news that you should turn away from these useless things [i.e., idol worship] and [turn] to the living God, who created the heavens, the earth, the sea, and everything in them.
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:
15 and saying, “Men, why are you doing these things? We are also (AC)men of the same nature as you, and (AD)preach the gospel to you that you should turn from these (l)(AE)vain things to a (AF)living God, (AG)who made the heaven and the earth and the sea and all that is in them.
15 “Men! Why are you doing these things? We are men also, with the same nature as you, and we are proclaiming good news to you, that you should turn from these worthless things(J) to the living God, who made the heaven, the earth, the sea, and everything in them.(K)(b)
15 "Men, why are you doing this? We are merely human beings with natures like yours. We are telling you the good news so you'll turn from these worthless things to the living God, who made heaven and earth, the sea, and everything in them.
17 and yet He did not leave them without evidence about Himself. He gave you good [things], brought rain from the sky, [provided] fruitful harvests and filled [your bodies] with food and your hearts with joy."
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.
17 and yet (AJ)He did not leave Himself without witness, in that He did good and (AK)gave you rains from heaven and fruitful seasons, (o)satisfying your hearts with food and gladness.”
17 although He did not leave Himself without a witness,(M) since He did what is good by giving you rain from heaven and fruitful seasons(N) and satisfying your(c) hearts with food and happiness.”
17 yet he has not abandoned his witness: he continues to do good, to give you rain from heaven, to give you fruitful seasons, and to fill you with food and your hearts with joy."
18 And [even though] they said these things, it was difficult to restrain the crowds from offering [animal] sacrifices to them.
18 And with these sayings scarce restrained they the people, that they had not done sacrifice unto them.
18 Even saying these things, with difficulty they restrained the crowds from offering sacrifice to them.
18 Even though they said these things, they barely stopped the crowds from sacrificing to them.
18 Even by saying this, it was all Paul and Barnabas could do to keep the crowds from offering sacrifices to them.
Paul Stoned At Lystra
19 But Jews came to [Lystra] from Antioch [in Pisidia] and Iconium. When they persuaded the crowds [to reject Paul's message] they stoned him and dragged him out of town, assuming he was dead.
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.
19 But (AL)Jews came from (AM)Antioch and (AN)Iconium, and having won over the crowds, they (AO)stoned Paul and dragged him out of the city, supposing him to be dead.

19 But some Jews came from Antioch and Iconium and won over the crowds by persuasion. They stoned Paul and dragged him out of the town, thinking he was dead.
20 But as the disciples stood around [Paul's apparently lifeless body], he [surprisingly] stood up [fully restored to health] and entered the town. On the following day he went with Barnabas to Derbe.
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.
20 But while (AP)the disciples stood around him, he got up and entered the city. The next day he went away with Barnabas to (AQ)Derbe.
20 After the disciples surrounded him, he got up and went into the town. The next day he left with Barnabas for Derbe.(P)
20 But the disciples formed a circle around him, and he got up and went back to town. The next day, he went on with Barnabas to Derbe.
