Introduction
Paul and Barnabas, having preached at Iconium with great success, are persecuted, and obliged to flee to Lystra and Derbe, Acts 14:1-6 . Here they preach, and heal a cripple; on which, the people, supposing them to be gods, are about to offer them sacrifices, and are with difficulty prevented by these apostles, Acts 14:7-18 . Certain Jews from Antioch and Iconium, coming thither, induce the people to stone Paul; who, being dragged out of the city as dead, while the disciples stand around him, rises up suddenly, and returns to the city, and the next day departs to Derbe, Acts 14:19 , Acts 14:20 . Having preached here, he and Barnabas return to Lystra, Iconium, and Antioch, confirming the disciples, and ordaining elders in every Church, Acts 14:21-23 . They pass through Pisidia and Pamphylia, Acts 14:24 . Through Perga and Attalia, Acts 14:25 ; and sail to Antioch in Syria, Acts 14:26 . When, having called the disciples together, they inform them of the door of faith opened to the Gentiles, and there abode a long time with the Church, Acts 14:27 , Acts 14:28 .
