the thronging crowd from offering sacrifices to them. 014:019 But now a party of Jews came from Antioch and Iconium, and, having won over the crowd, they stoned Paul and dragged him out of the town, believing him to be dead. 014:020 When, however, the disciples had collected round him, he rose and went back into the town. The next day he went with Barnabas to Derbe; 014:021 and, after proclaiming the Good News to the people there and gaining a large number of converts, they retraced their steps to Lystra, Iconium, and Antioch. 014:022 Everywhere they strengthened the disciples by encouraging them to hold fast to the faith, and warned them saying, "It is through many afflictions that we must make our way into the Kingdom of God." 014:023 And in every Church, after prayer and fasting, they selected Elders by show of hands, and commended them to the Lord on whom their faith rested. 014:024 Then passing through Pisidia they came into Pamphylia; 014:025 and after telling the Message at Perga they came down to Attaleia. 014:026 Thence they sailed to Antioch, where they had previously been commended to the grace of God in connexion with the work which they had now completed. 014:027 Upon their arrival they called the Church together and proceeded to report in detail all that God, working with them, had done, and how He had opened for the Gentiles the door of faith. 014:028 And they remained a considerable time in Antioch with the disciples. 015:001 But certain persons who had come down from Judaea tried to convince the brethren, saying, "Unless you are circumcised in accordance with the Mosaic custom, you cannot be saved." |
