Bible Verses About Iconium

In Iconium the same thing happened — they went into the synagogue and spoke in such a way that a large number of both Jews and Greeks came to trust.

But the Jews who would not be persuaded stirred up the Gentiles and poisoned their minds against the brothers.

Therefore, Sha’ul and Bar-Nabba remained for a long time, speaking boldly about the Lord, who bore witness to the message about his love and kindness by enabling them to perform signs and miracles.

However, the people of the city were divided — some sided with the unbelieving Jews, others with the emissaries.

Eventually the unbelievers, both Jews and Gentiles, together with their leaders, made a move to mistreat the emissaries, even to stone them;

but they learned of it and escaped to Lystra and Derbe, towns in Lycaonia, and to the surrounding country,

After proclaiming the Good News in that city and making many people into talmidim, they returned to Lystra, Iconium and Antioch,

strengthening the talmidim, encouraging them to remain true to the faith, and reminding them that it is through many hardships that we must enter the Kingdom of God.
