1Es geschah aber in Ikonion, dass sie wieder in die Synagoge der Juden gingen und so predigten, dass eine große Menge Juden und Griechen gläubig wurde.2Die Juden aber, die ungläubig blieben, stifteten Unruhe und hetzten die Heiden auf gegen die Brüder.3Dennoch blieben sie eine lange Zeit dort und lehrten frei und offen im Vertrauen auf den Herrn, der das Wort seiner Gnade bezeugte und ließ Zeichen und Wunder geschehen durch ihre Hände. (Apg 19,11; Hebr 2,4)4Die Menge in der Stadt aber spaltete sich; die einen hielten’s mit den Juden und die andern mit den Aposteln.5Als sich aber ein Sturm erhob bei den Heiden und Juden und ihren Oberen und sie sie misshandeln und mit Steinen nach ihnen werfen wollten, (2Tim 3,11)6merkten sie es und entflohen in die Städte Lykaoniens, nach Lystra und Derbe, und in deren Umgebung (Mt 10,23)7und predigten dort das Evangelium.
In Lystra
8Und es war ein Mann in Lystra, der saß da ohne Kraft in den Füßen; er war gelähmt von Mutterleib an und hatte noch nie gehen können.9Der hörte Paulus reden. Und als dieser ihn ansah und merkte, dass er glaubte, ihm könne geholfen werden, (Mt 9,28)10sprach er mit lauter Stimme: Stell dich aufrecht auf deine Füße! Und er sprang auf und ging umher.11Da aber das Volk sah, was Paulus getan hatte, erhoben sie ihre Stimme und riefen auf Lykaonisch: Die Götter sind den Menschen gleich geworden und zu uns herabgestiegen. (Apg 28,6)12Und sie nannten Barnabas Zeus und Paulus Hermes[1], weil er das Wort führte.13Und der Priester vom Tempel des Zeus vor der Stadt brachte Stiere und Kränze an die Stadttore und wollte mit dem Volk opfern.14Als das die Apostel Barnabas und Paulus hörten, zerrissen sie ihre Kleider und sprangen unter das Volk und schrien:15Ihr Männer, was macht ihr da? Wir sind auch sterbliche Menschen wie ihr und predigen euch das Evangelium, dass ihr euch bekehren sollt von diesen nichtigen Göttern zu dem lebendigen Gott, der Himmel und Erde und das Meer und alles, was darin ist, gemacht hat. (2Mo 20,11; Ps 146,6; Apg 4,24; Apg 10,26)16Zwar hat er in den vergangenen Zeiten alle Heiden ihre eigenen Wege gehen lassen; (Apg 17,30)17und doch hat er sich selbst nicht unbezeugt gelassen, hat viel Gutes getan und euch vom Himmel Regen und fruchtbare Zeiten gegeben, hat euch ernährt und eure Herzen mit Freude erfüllt. –18Und obwohl sie das sagten, konnten sie kaum das Volk davon abbringen, ihnen zu opfern.19Es kamen aber von Antiochia und Ikonion Juden dorthin und überredeten das Volk und steinigten Paulus und schleiften ihn zur Stadt hinaus und meinten, er wäre gestorben. (2Kor 11,25; 2Tim 3,11)
Die Rückkehr nach Antiochia in Syrien
20Als ihn aber die Jünger umringten, stand er auf und ging in die Stadt. Am nächsten Tag zog er mit Barnabas weiter nach Derbe;21und sie predigten dieser Stadt das Evangelium und unterwiesen viele. Dann kehrten sie zurück nach Lystra und Ikonion und Antiochia,22stärkten die Seelen der Jünger und ermahnten sie, im Glauben zu bleiben, und sagten: Wir müssen durch viele Bedrängnisse in das Reich Gottes eingehen. (Röm 5,3; 1Thess 3,3)23Und sie setzten in jeder Gemeinde Älteste ein, beteten und fasteten und befahlen sie dem Herrn, an den sie nun glaubten. (Apg 6,6; Apg 13,3)24Und sie zogen durch Pisidien und kamen nach Pamphylien25und sagten das Wort in Perge und zogen hinab nach Attalia.26Und von da fuhren sie mit dem Schiff nach Antiochia, wo sie der Gnade Gottes befohlen worden waren zu dem Werk, das sie nun ausgerichtet hatten. (Apg 13,1)27Als sie aber dort ankamen, versammelten sie die Gemeinde und verkündeten, wie viel Gott durch sie getan und wie er den Heiden die Tür des Glaubens aufgetan hätte. (Apg 10,45; 1Kor 16,9)28Sie blieben aber dort eine nicht geringe Zeit bei den Jüngern.
Apostelgeschichte 14
King James Version
1And it came to pass in Iconium, that they went both together into the synagogue of the Jews, and so spake, that a great multitude both of the Jews and also of the Greeks believed.2But the unbelieving Jews stirred up the Gentiles, and made their minds evil affected against the brethren.3Long time therefore abode they speaking boldly in the Lord, which gave testimony unto the word of his grace, and granted signs and wonders to be done by their hands.4But the multitude of the city was divided: and part held with the Jews, and part with the apostles.5And when there was an assault made both of the Gentiles, and also of the Jews with their rulers, to use them despitefully, and to stone them,6They were ware of it, and fled unto Lystra and Derbe, cities of Lycaonia, and unto the region that lieth round about:7And there they preached the gospel.8And there sat a certain man at Lystra, impotent in his feet, being a cripple from his mother's womb, who never had walked:9The same heard Paul speak: who stedfastly beholding him, and perceiving that he had faith to be healed,10Said with a loud voice, Stand upright on thy feet. And he leaped and walked.11And when the people saw what Paul had done, they lifted up their voices, saying in the speech of Lycaonia, The gods are come down to us in the likeness of men.12And they called Barnabas, Jupiter; and Paul, Mercurius, because he was the chief speaker.13Then the priest of Jupiter, which was before their city, brought oxen and garlands unto the gates, and would have done sacrifice with the people.14Which when the apostles, Barnabas and Paul, heard of, they rent their clothes, and ran in among the people, crying out,15And saying, Sirs, why do ye these things? We also are men of like passions with you, and preach unto you that ye should turn from these vanities unto the living God, which made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and all things that are therein:16Who in times past suffered all nations to walk in their own ways.17Nevertheless he left not himself without witness, in that he did good, and gave us rain from heaven, and fruitful seasons, filling our hearts with food and gladness.18And with these sayings scarce restrained they the people, that they had not done sacrifice unto them.19And there came thither certain Jews from Antioch and Iconium, who persuaded the people, and, having stoned Paul, drew him out of the city, supposing he had been dead.20Howbeit, as the disciples stood round about him, he rose up, and came into the city: and the next day he departed with Barnabas to Derbe.21And when they had preached the gospel to that city, and had taught many, they returned again to Lystra, and to Iconium, and Antioch,22Confirming the souls of the disciples, and exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that we must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God.23And when they had ordained them elders in every church, and had prayed with fasting, they commended them to the Lord, on whom they believed.24And after they had passed throughout Pisidia, they came to Pamphylia.25And when they had preached the word in Perga, they went down into Attalia:26And thence sailed to Antioch, from whence they had been recommended to the grace of God for the work which they fulfilled.27And when they were come, and had gathered the church together, they rehearsed all that God had done with them, and how he had opened the door of faith unto the Gentiles.28And there they abode long time with the disciples.

English Standard Version
Paul and Barnabas at Iconium
1Now at Iconium they entered together into the Jewish synagogue and spoke in such a way that a great number of both Jews and Greeks believed. (Apg 13,5)2But the unbelieving Jews stirred up the Gentiles and poisoned their minds against the brothers.[1] (Joh 3,36; Joh 21,23; Apg 13,50; Apg 19,9; Röm 15,31)3So 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. (Mk 16,20; Apg 4,29; Apg 15,8; Apg 20,32; Hebr 2,4)4But the people of the city were divided; some sided with the Jews and some with the apostles. (Apg 17,4; Apg 19,9; Apg 23,7; Apg 28,24)5When an attempt was made by both Gentiles and Jews, with their rulers, to mistreat them and to stone them, (Apg 14,19; 2Kor 12,10; 1Thess 2,2)6they learned of it and fled to Lystra and Derbe, cities of Lycaonia, and to the surrounding country, (Mt 10,23; 2Tim 3,11)7and there they continued to preach the gospel.
Paul and Barnabas at Lystra
8Now at Lystra there was a man sitting who could not use his feet. He was crippled from birth and had never walked. (Apg 3,2)9He listened to Paul speaking. And Paul, looking intently at him and seeing that he had faith to be made well,[2] (Mt 9,2)10said in a loud voice, “Stand upright on your feet.” And he sprang up and began walking. (Jes 35,6; Apg 3,8)11And when the crowds saw what Paul had done, they lifted up their voices, saying in Lycaonian, “The gods have come down to us in the likeness of men!” (Apg 8,10; Apg 28,6)12Barnabas they called Zeus, and Paul, Hermes, because he was the chief speaker. (Apg 19,35; Apg 28,11)13And the priest of Zeus, whose temple was at the entrance to the city, brought oxen and garlands to the gates and wanted to offer sacrifice with the crowds. (Dan 2,46; Apg 14,12)14But when the apostles Barnabas and Paul heard of it, they tore their garments and rushed out into the crowd, crying out, (1Mo 37,29)15“Men, why are you doing these things? We also are men, of like nature with you, and we bring you good news, that you should turn from these vain things to a living God, who made the heaven and the earth and the sea and all that is in them. (1Mo 1,1; 2Mo 20,11; 5Mo 32,21; 1Sam 12,21; Ps 146,6; Jer 14,22; Mt 16,16; Lk 1,16; Apg 9,35; Apg 10,26; Apg 15,3; Apg 15,19; Apg 17,24; Apg 26,18; Apg 26,20; 1Kor 8,4; 1Thess 1,9; Jak 5,17; Jak 5,19; Offb 4,11; Offb 10,6; Offb 14,7)16In past generations he allowed all the nations to walk in their own ways. (Ps 81,13; Mi 4,5; Apg 17,30; 1Petr 4,3)17Yet he did not leave himself without witness, for he did good by giving you rains from heaven and fruitful seasons, satisfying your hearts with food and gladness.” (3Mo 26,4; 4Mo 10,32; 5Mo 11,14; 5Mo 28,12; Hi 5,10; Ps 65,10; Ps 67,6; Ps 85,12; Ps 104,15; Ps 104,27; Ps 147,8; Ps 147,18; Hes 34,26; Hes 34,27; Joe 2,23; Joe 2,24; Sach 8,12; Apg 17,27; Röm 1,19)18Even with these words they scarcely restrained the people from offering sacrifice to them.
24Then they passed through Pisidia and came to Pamphylia.25And when they had spoken the word in Perga, they went down to Attalia,26and from there they sailed to Antioch, where they had been commended to the grace of God for the work that they had fulfilled. (Apg 13,3; Apg 15,40)27And when they arrived and gathered the church together, they declared all that God had done with them, and how he had opened a door of faith to the Gentiles. (Hos 2,15; Apg 11,18; Apg 15,3; Apg 15,4; Apg 15,12; Apg 21,19; 1Kor 16,9; 2Kor 2,12; Kol 4,3; Offb 3,8)28And they remained no little time with the disciples.
