CHAPTER STUDY WORKSPACE

Acts 14

Paul and Barnabas preach in Iconium with both belief and violent opposition. At Lystra a lame man is healed, and the crowd mistakes the missionaries for gods; Paul and Barnabas tear their clothes and urge them to turn from vanities to the living Creator. Opponents later persuade the crowd to stone Paul, yet he survives and continues to Derbe. The missionaries retrace their route, strengthen disciples, appoint elders in every church, and report to Antioch what God has done among the Gentiles.
