What happensPermalink
Paul and Barnabas preach in Iconium, but they flee from stoning and go to Lystra. There, Paul heals a cripple, but Jews from Antioch and Iconium catch up to them and stone Paul; they escape to Derbe. They set up elders in the new churches and return to Antioch.
Why it mattersPermalink
Paul and Barnabas continue to preach the gospel despite strong opposition in each city they visit; they leave only when their lives are threatened. They show even more courage by returning to the cities that had driven them out on the way back to Antioch.
Key versePermalink
So they remained for a long time, speaking boldly for the Lord, who bore witness to the word of his grace, granting signs and wonders to be done by their hands.
