It came about in Iconium that Paul and Barnabas entered together into the synagogue of the Jews and spoke in such a way that a great multitude both of Jews and of Greeks believed.
But the Jews who were disobedient stirred up the minds of the Gentiles and made them bitter 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
So they stayed there for a long time, speaking boldly with the Lord's power, while he gave evidence about the message of his grace. He did this by granting signs and wonders to be done by the hands of Paul and Barnabas.
But the majority of the city was divided: some people sided with the Jews, and some with the apostles.
When both Gentiles and Jews attempted to persuade their leaders to mistreat and stone Paul and Barnabas,
they became aware of it and fled to the cities of Lycaonia, Lystra and Derbe, and the surrounding region,
and there they were proclaiming the gospel.
At Lystra a certain man sat, powerless in his feet, a cripple from his mother's womb, who never had walked.
9 ⲑ̅ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲛⲉϥⲥⲱⲧⲙ ⲡⲉ ⲉⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ⲉϥϣⲁϫⲉ ⲛⲧⲟϥ ⲇⲉ ⲁϥⲉⲓⲱⲣⲙ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉϩⲣⲁϥ ⲁϥⲉⲓⲙⲉ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲛⲧϥ ⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲉⲧⲣⲉϥⲟⲩϫⲁⲓ
This man heard Paul speaking. Paul fixed his eyes on him and saw that he had faith to be made well.
10 ⲓ̅ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁϥ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩⲛⲟϭ ⲛⲥⲙⲏ ϫⲉ ⲉⲓϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲁⲕ ϩⲙ ⲡⲣⲁⲛ ⲛⲓⲥ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲧⲱⲟⲩⲛ ⲛⲅⲁϩⲉⲣⲁⲧⲕ ϩⲓϫⲛ ⲛⲉⲕⲟⲩⲉⲣⲏⲧⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁϥϥⲟϭϥ ⲁϥⲙⲟⲟϣⲉ
So he said to him in a loud voice, “Stand up on your feet.” Then the man jumped up and walked around.
11 ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ ⲙⲙⲏⲏϣⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲟⲩⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ⲁⲁϥ ⲁⲩϥⲓ ϩⲣⲁⲩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲧⲉⲩⲁⲥⲡⲉ ⲉⲩϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲛⲧⲁⲛⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲓⲛⲉ ⲛⲛⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲁⲩⲉⲓ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ϣⲁⲣⲟⲛ
When the multitude saw what Paul had done, they raised their voice, saying in the dialect of Lycaonia, “The gods have come down to us in the form of men.”
They called Barnabas “Zeus,” and Paul, “Hermes,” because he was the main speaker.
13 ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ ⲡⲟⲩⲏⲏⲃ ⲇⲉ ⲙⲡⲍⲉⲩⲥ ⲉⲧⲙⲃⲟⲗ ⲛⲧⲡⲟⲗⲓⲥ ⲁϥⲉⲓⲛⲉ ⲛϩⲉⲛⲙⲁⲥⲉ ⲙⲛ ϩⲉⲛⲕⲗⲟⲙ ⲉⲣⲛ ⲛⲣⲟ ⲙⲛ ⲙⲙⲏⲏϣⲉ ⲁϥⲟⲩⲱϣ ⲉⲧⲁⲗⲉ ⲑⲩⲥⲓⲁ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ
The priest of Zeus, whose temple was just outside the city, brought oxen and wreaths to the gates; he and the multitudes wanted to offer sacrifice.
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 clothing and quickly went out 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 human beings with the same feelings as you. We bring you good news, that you should turn from these useless things to a living God, who made the heavens, the earth, and the sea and everything that is in them.
In the past ages, he allowed all the 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
But still, he did not leave himself without witness, in that he did good and gave you the rains from heaven and fruitful seasons, filling your hearts with food and gladness.”
Even with these words, Paul and Barnabas barely kept the multitudes 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
But some Jews from Antioch and Iconium came and persuaded the crowds. They stoned Paul and dragged him out of the city, thinking that he was dead.
20 ⲕ̅ ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲉ ⲙⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲕⲱⲧⲉ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲉⲣⲟⲩϩⲉ ϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲁϥⲧⲱⲟⲩⲛ ⲁϥⲃⲱⲕ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲧⲡⲟⲗⲓⲥ ⲙⲡⲉϥⲣⲁⲥⲧⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲁϥⲉⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙⲛ ⲃⲁⲣⲛⲁⲃⲁⲥ ⲉⲧⲉⲣⲃⲏ
Yet as the disciples were standing around him, he got up and entered the city. The next day, he went to Derbe with Barnabas.
21 ⲕ̅ⲁ̅ ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲟⲩⲧⲁϣⲉ ⲟⲓϣ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲧⲡⲟⲗⲓⲥ ⲉⲧⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲩϯ ⲥⲃⲱ ⲛⲟⲩⲙⲏⲏϣⲉ ⲁⲩⲕⲟⲧⲟⲩ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲉⲗⲩⲥⲧⲣⲟⲥ ⲙⲛ ϩⲓⲕⲟⲛⲓⲟⲥ ⲙⲛ ⲧⲁⲛⲧⲓⲟⲭⲓⲁ
After they had proclaimed the gospel in that city and made many disciples, they returned to Lystra, to Iconium, and to Antioch.
22 ⲕ̅ⲃ̅ ⲉⲩⲧⲁϫⲣⲟ ⲛⲛⲉⲯⲩⲭⲏ ⲛⲙⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⲉⲩⲥⲟⲡⲥ ⲙⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲧⲣⲉⲩϭⲱ ϩⲛ ⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲩϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲛ ϩⲁϩ ⲛⲑⲗⲓⲯⲓⲥ ⲉⲛⲁⲃⲱⲕ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲧⲙⲛⲧⲉⲣⲟ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ
They kept strengthening the souls of the disciples and encouraging them to continue in the faith, saying, “We must enter into the kingdom of God through many sufferings.”
23 ⲕ̅ⲅ̅ ⲁⲩⲥⲙⲓⲛⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲁⲩ ⲛϩⲉⲛⲡⲣⲉⲥⲃⲩⲧⲉⲣⲟⲥ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲉⲕⲕⲗⲏⲥⲓⲁ ⲁⲩϣⲗⲏⲗ ⲙⲛ ϩⲉⲛⲛⲏⲥⲧⲓⲁ ⲁⲩϯ ⲙⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲧⲟⲟⲧϥ ⲙⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲛⲧⲁⲩⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ ⲉⲣⲟϥ
When they had appointed for them elders in every church, and had prayed with fasting, they entrusted them to the Lord, in whom they had believed.
Then they passed through Pisidia and came to Pamphylia.
When they had spoken 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, where they had been committed to the grace of God for the work which they had now completed.
27 ⲕ̅ⲍ̅ ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲟⲩⲉⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲩⲥⲱⲟⲩϩ ⲛⲧⲉⲕⲕⲗⲏⲥⲓⲁ ⲁⲩϫⲱ ⲉⲣⲟⲟⲩ ⲛϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲛⲧⲁⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲁⲁⲩ ⲛⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲑⲉ ⲛⲧⲁϥⲟⲩⲱⲛ ⲛⲟⲩⲣⲟ ⲙⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ ⲛⲛϩⲉⲑⲛⲟⲥ
When they arrived in Antioch and gathered the church together, they reported all the things that God had done with them, and how he had opened a door of faith for the Gentiles.
They stayed for a long time with the disciples.
