Stoned and Left for Dead

¹⁹Then some Jews arrived from Antioch and Iconium and persuaded the crowd. They stoned Paul and dragged him outside the city, supposing he was dead. ²⁰But as the disciples gathered around him, he rose up and went back into the city. The next day, he left with Barnabas for Derbe. ²¹After they had preached the gospel in that city and made many disciples, they returned to Lystra, then to Iconium, and then to Antioch, ²²strengthening the souls of the disciples, urging them to continue in the faith, and saying, "We must go through many tribulations to enter the kingdom of God." ²³They appointed elders for them in every church, and with prayer and fasting, they committed them to the Lord in whom they had believed. ²⁴After passing through Pisidia, they came to Pamphylia. ²⁵When they had preached the word in Perga, they went down to Attalia. ²⁶From there they sailed to Antioch, where they had been commended to the grace of God for the work they had now completed. ²⁷When they arrived, they gathered the church together and reported all that God had done through them, and how he had opened the door of faith to the Gentiles. ²⁸And they stayed there a long time with the disciples.
