Acts 14:4–8 · Berean Standard Bible

4 The people of the city were divided. Some sided with the Jews, and others with the apostles.

5 But when the Gentiles and Jews, together with their rulers, set out to mistreat and stone them,

6 they found out about it and fled to the Lycaonian cities of Lystra and Derbe and to the surrounding region,

7 where they continued to preach the gospel.

8 In Lystra there sat a man crippled in his feet, who was lame from birth and had never walked.
