3 Paul and Barnabas stayed in Iconium a long time and spoke bravely for the Lord. He showed that their message about his grace was true by giving them the power to work miracles and signs.
4 But the city was divided. Some of the people agreed with the Jews, and others believed the apostles.
5 Some who were not Jews, some Jews, and some of their rulers wanted to mistreat Paul and Barnabas and to stone them to death.
6 When Paul and Barnabas learned about this, they ran away to Lystra and Derbe, cities in Lycaonia, and to the areas around those cities.
7 They announced the Good News there, too.
8 In Lystra there sat a man who had been born crippled; he had never walked.
9 As this man was listening to Paul speak, Paul looked straight at him and saw that he believed God could heal him.
