Acts 14:1
Missionary Labors in the Cities of Asia Minor
SUMMARY OF ACTS 14: Paul and Barnabas at Iconium. Flight to Lystra and
Derbe. The Cripple at Lystra Healed. The Heathen Seek to Worship
Paul and Barnabas as Gods. A Persecution Raised by the Jews. Paul
Stoned Until Supposed to Be Dead. They Return to Visit the New
Churches. Elders Ordained. The Return to the Syrian Antioch. The
Report of Their Labors.
They went . . . into the synagogue of the Jews. Just as in the
island of Cyprus and at Antioch (Acts 13:5). In almost every
principal place a colony of Jews and a synagogue were found. Here,
among their own nation, and in accordance with the customs of the
synagogue, they spoke, and first declared the gospel. The result seemed
uniformly to reach some Jews, and a number of the "devout Greeks"
(see PNT "Ac 10:2"") who attended the synagogues to learn more
of God. Thus was formed the nucleus of the church. At Iconium, "a great
multitude both of the Jews and the Greeks believed".
