Now it happened in Iconium that they went together into the synagogue of the Jews, and they spoke to such effect that a large number of both Jews and Greeks believed.
But the disobedient Jews stirred up the Gentiles and poisoned their minds against the brothers.
3 ⲅ̅ ⲁⲩⲣⲟⲩⲛⲟϭ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲉⲩⲡⲁⲣⲣⲏⲥⲓⲁⲍⲉ ⲙⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲉϫⲙ ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲣⲙⲛⲧⲣⲉ ⲙⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ⲛⲧⲉϥⲭⲁⲣⲓⲥ ⲉⲧϯ ⲛϩⲉⲛⲙⲁⲉⲓⲛ ⲙⲛ ϩⲉⲛϣⲡⲏⲣⲉ ⲉⲧⲣⲉⲩϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲛ ⲧⲉⲩϭⲓϫ
Even so they stayed there a considerable time, speaking boldly for the Lord, who was bearing witness to the word of His grace, giving signs and wonders to take place by their hands.
Well the population of the city became divided; some sided with the Jews, others with the apostles.
But when a plot was hatched by both Gentiles and Jews, with their rulers, to mistreat and stone them,
they became aware of it and escaped to the cities of Lycaonia—Lystra, Derbe and the surrounding area—
where they continued to preach the Gospel.
Well in Lystra a certain man with helpless feet was sitting (lame from his mother's womb, who had never walked).
9 ⲑ̅ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲛⲉϥⲥⲱⲧⲙ ⲡⲉ ⲉⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ⲉϥϣⲁϫⲉ ⲛⲧⲟϥ ⲇⲉ ⲁϥⲉⲓⲱⲣⲙ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉϩⲣⲁϥ ⲁϥⲉⲓⲙⲉ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲛⲧϥ ⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲉⲧⲣⲉϥⲟⲩϫⲁⲓ
This man was listening to Paul speaking; who looking intently at him and seeing that he had faith to be healed,
10 ⲓ̅ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁϥ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩⲛⲟϭ ⲛⲥⲙⲏ ϫⲉ ⲉⲓϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲁⲕ ϩⲙ ⲡⲣⲁⲛ ⲛⲓⲥ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲧⲱⲟⲩⲛ ⲛⲅⲁϩⲉⲣⲁⲧⲕ ϩⲓϫⲛ ⲛⲉⲕⲟⲩⲉⲣⲏⲧⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁϥϥⲟϭϥ ⲁϥⲙⲟⲟϣⲉ
said with a loud voice, “Stand up straight on your feet!” And the man jumped up and began to walk!
11 ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ ⲙⲙⲏⲏϣⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲟⲩⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ⲁⲁϥ ⲁⲩϥⲓ ϩⲣⲁⲩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲧⲉⲩⲁⲥⲡⲉ ⲉⲩϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲛⲧⲁⲛⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲓⲛⲉ ⲛⲛⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲁⲩⲉⲓ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ϣⲁⲣⲟⲛ
Now when the crowd saw what Paul had done, they raised their voices, saying in Lycaonian, “The gods have come down to us in the likeness of men!”
And Barnabas they called Zeus, and Paul, Hermes, because he was the chief speaker.
13 ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ ⲡⲟⲩⲏⲏⲃ ⲇⲉ ⲙⲡⲍⲉⲩⲥ ⲉⲧⲙⲃⲟⲗ ⲛⲧⲡⲟⲗⲓⲥ ⲁϥⲉⲓⲛⲉ ⲛϩⲉⲛⲙⲁⲥⲉ ⲙⲛ ϩⲉⲛⲕⲗⲟⲙ ⲉⲣⲛ ⲛⲣⲟ ⲙⲛ ⲙⲙⲏⲏϣⲉ ⲁϥⲟⲩⲱϣ ⲉⲧⲁⲗⲉ ⲑⲩⲥⲓⲁ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ
Then the priest of Zeus, whose temple was in front of their city, brought bulls and garlands to the gates, intending to make a sacrifice, along with the crowd.
14 ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲟⲩⲥⲱⲧⲙ ⲇⲉ ⲛϭⲓ ⲛⲁⲡⲟⲥⲧⲟⲗⲟⲥ ⲃⲁⲣⲛⲁⲃⲁⲥ ⲙⲛ ⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ⲁⲩⲡⲉϩ ⲛⲉⲩϩⲟⲉⲓⲧⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲩⲡⲱⲧ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲉⲡⲙⲏⲏϣⲉ ⲁⲩⲁϣⲕⲁⲕ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ
But when the apostles, Barnabas and Paul, heard of it, they tore their clothes and rushed into the crowd, crying out
15 ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ ⲉⲩϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲛⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲟⲩ ⲛⲉ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲉⲓⲣⲉ ⲙⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲁⲛⲟⲛ ϩⲱⲱⲛ ⲟⲛ ⲁⲛϩⲉⲛⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲉⲛⲧⲁϣⲉⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ ⲉⲥⲁϩⲉⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛⲛⲉⲓⲡⲉⲧϣⲟⲩⲉⲓⲧ ⲉⲕⲧⲉ ⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ ⲉⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲧⲟⲛϩ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲛⲧⲁϥⲧⲁⲙⲓⲉ ⲧⲡⲉ ⲙⲛ ⲡⲕⲁϩ ⲙⲛ ⲑⲁⲗⲁⲥⲥⲁ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲉⲧⲛϩⲏⲧⲟⲩ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ
and saying: “Men, why are you doing these things? We also are men with the same nature as you, giving you good news, telling you to turn from these useless things to the living God, who made the heaven and the earth and the sea and all that is in them;
who in the former generations allowed all the ethnic nations to walk in their own ways.
17 ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ ⲕⲁⲓⲧⲟⲓ ⲟⲛ ⲙⲡϥϭⲱ ⲛⲟⲩⲉϣ ⲛⲣⲙⲛⲧⲣⲉ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲛⲁⲩ ⲉϥⲣ ⲡⲉⲧⲛⲁⲛⲟⲩϥ ⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲧⲡⲉ ⲉϥϯ ⲛϩⲉⲛϩⲱⲟⲩ ⲙⲛ ϩⲉⲛⲟⲩⲟⲓϣ ⲛⲣⲉϥϯⲕⲁⲣⲡⲟⲥ ⲉϥⲧⲥⲓⲟ ⲛⲛⲉⲩϩⲏⲧ ⲛⲧⲣⲟⲫⲏ ϩⲓ ⲟⲩⲛⲟϥ
Nevertheless He did not leave Himself without witness, doing good, giving you rain from heaven and fruitful seasons, filling our hearts with food and gladness.”
Even saying these things, they barely stopped the crowd from sacrificing to them.
19 ⲓ̅ⲑ̅ ⲁⲩⲉⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲧⲁⲛⲧⲓⲟⲭⲓⲁ ⲙⲛ ϩⲓⲕⲟⲛⲓⲟⲥ ⲛϭⲓ ϩⲉⲛⲓⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ ⲁⲩⲡⲓⲑⲉ ⲛⲙⲙⲏⲏϣⲉ ⲁⲩϩⲓ ⲱⲛⲉ ⲉⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ⲁⲩⲥⲩⲣⲣⲁ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲡⲃⲟⲗ ⲛⲧⲡⲟⲗⲓⲥ ⲉⲩⲙⲉⲉⲩⲉ ϫⲉ ⲁϥⲙⲟⲩ
Then Jews from Antioch and Iconium came, and having persuaded the crowd and having stoned Paul, they dragged him out of the city, supposing him to have died.
20 ⲕ̅ ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲉ ⲙⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲕⲱⲧⲉ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲉⲣⲟⲩϩⲉ ϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲁϥⲧⲱⲟⲩⲛ ⲁϥⲃⲱⲕ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲧⲡⲟⲗⲓⲥ ⲙⲡⲉϥⲣⲁⲥⲧⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲁϥⲉⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙⲛ ⲃⲁⲣⲛⲁⲃⲁⲥ ⲉⲧⲉⲣⲃⲏ
But as the disciples stood around him, he got up and entered the city. The next day he departed with Barnabas to Derbe.
21 ⲕ̅ⲁ̅ ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲟⲩⲧⲁϣⲉ ⲟⲓϣ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲧⲡⲟⲗⲓⲥ ⲉⲧⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲩϯ ⲥⲃⲱ ⲛⲟⲩⲙⲏⲏϣⲉ ⲁⲩⲕⲟⲧⲟⲩ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲉⲗⲩⲥⲧⲣⲟⲥ ⲙⲛ ϩⲓⲕⲟⲛⲓⲟⲥ ⲙⲛ ⲧⲁⲛⲧⲓⲟⲭⲓⲁ
When they had evangelized that city and discipled a good number, they returned to Lystra and Iconium and Antioch,
22 ⲕ̅ⲃ̅ ⲉⲩⲧⲁϫⲣⲟ ⲛⲛⲉⲯⲩⲭⲏ ⲛⲙⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⲉⲩⲥⲟⲡⲥ ⲙⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲧⲣⲉⲩϭⲱ ϩⲛ ⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲩϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲛ ϩⲁϩ ⲛⲑⲗⲓⲯⲓⲥ ⲉⲛⲁⲃⲱⲕ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲧⲙⲛⲧⲉⲣⲟ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ
strengthening the souls of the disciples, exhorting them to continue in the faith, and saying, “We must go through many hardships to enter the kingdom of God.”
23 ⲕ̅ⲅ̅ ⲁⲩⲥⲙⲓⲛⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲁⲩ ⲛϩⲉⲛⲡⲣⲉⲥⲃⲩⲧⲉⲣⲟⲥ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲉⲕⲕⲗⲏⲥⲓⲁ ⲁⲩϣⲗⲏⲗ ⲙⲛ ϩⲉⲛⲛⲏⲥⲧⲓⲁ ⲁⲩϯ ⲙⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲧⲟⲟⲧϥ ⲙⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲛⲧⲁⲩⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ ⲉⲣⲟϥ
When they had appointed elders for them in every congregation, having prayed with fasting, they commended them to the Lord into whom they had believed.
After going through Pisidia, they came to Pamphilia.
When they had declared the Word in Perga, they went down to Attalia.
26 ⲕ̅ⲋ̅ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲇⲉ ϩⲙ ⲡⲙⲁ ⲉⲧⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲁⲩⲥϭⲏⲣ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲁⲛⲧⲓⲟⲭⲓⲁ ⲙⲡⲙⲁ ⲛⲧⲁⲩⲧⲁⲁⲩ ⲛϩⲏⲧϥ ϩⲛ ⲧⲉⲭⲁⲣⲓⲥ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲡϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲧⲁⲩϫⲟⲕϥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ
From there they sailed to Antioch, from where they had been commended to the grace of God for the work that they had completed.
27 ⲕ̅ⲍ̅ ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲟⲩⲉⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲩⲥⲱⲟⲩϩ ⲛⲧⲉⲕⲕⲗⲏⲥⲓⲁ ⲁⲩϫⲱ ⲉⲣⲟⲟⲩ ⲛϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲛⲧⲁⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲁⲁⲩ ⲛⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲑⲉ ⲛⲧⲁϥⲟⲩⲱⲛ ⲛⲟⲩⲣⲟ ⲙⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ ⲛⲛϩⲉⲑⲛⲟⲥ
So upon arriving and gathering the congregation, they reported all that God had done with them, and that He had opened the door of faith to the Gentiles.
And they stayed there a long time with the disciples.
