1It came to pass then in Iconium that they entered the synagogue of the Jews according to the same manner and spoke in such a way that a great multitude of both Jews and Greeks came to believe.2But the disobedient Jews stirred up and harmed the souls of the Gentiles against the brothers.3So they remained for a considerable time, speaking boldly for the Lord, who was testifying to the word of his grace by granting that signs and wonders be done through their hands.4The population of the city was then divided, and some sided with the Jews while others sided with the apostles.5When an impulse arose among both the Gentiles and the Jews together with their rulers to mistreat and stone them,6they decided and fled to the cities of Lycaonia, namely Lystra and Derbe and the surrounding region.7And there they continued preaching.
