Acts 14:8-10. And there sat, &c. To the general account of the apostle’s labours given above, the historian here subjoins a particular relation of some memorable events which happened at Lystra. There sat a man impotent in his feet Disabled, as the word is, to that degree, that it was impossible he should set his feet to the ground, or lay any stress upon them; being As was well known, a cripple from his mother’s womb. This same man heard Paul speak Having, it seems, been laid... read more

First Missionary Journey (continued)1-7. Paul and Barnabas at Iconium. The gospel meets with great success among both Jews and Gentiles in this populous city, and miracles are wrought in confirmation of the faith.2.

Accordingly the second persecution (Acts 14:5) took the form of a popular tumult. Acts 14:2 reads thus in D, ’But the rulers of the synagogue of the Jews raised... read more
