NASB — Acts 14 — KJV

Acceptance and Opposition

1 In aIconium° bthey entered° the synagogue° of the Jews° together°°°, and spoke° in such° a manner° cthat a large° number° of people° believed°, both° of Jews° and of dGreeks°. 2 But athe Jews° who Ibdisbelieved° stirred° up the IIminds° of the Gentiles° and embittered° them against° cthe brethren°. 3 Therefore° they spent° a long° time° [there] aspeaking° boldly° [with reliance] upon the Lord°, who was testifying° to the word° of His grace°, granting° that Ibsigns° and wonders° be done° by their hands°. 4 aBut the Ipeople° of the city° were divided°; and some°° IIsided° with bthe Jews°, and some° with cthe apostles°. 5 And when° an attempt° was made° by both° the Gentiles° and athe Jews° with their rulers°, to mistreat° and to bstone° them, 6 they became aware° of it and fled° to the cities° of aLycaonia°, bLystra° and cDerbe°, and the surrounding° region°; 7 and there° they continued to apreach° the gospel°.
