Acts 14:20 — Meaning and Application

And with these sayings scarce restrained they the people, that they had not done sacrifice unto them.

And there came thither {certain} Jews from Antioch and Iconium, who persuaded the people, and, having stoned Paul, drew {him} out of the city, supposing he had been dead.

Howbeit, as the disciples stood round about him, he rose up, and came into the city: and the next day he departed with Barnabas to Derbe.

And when they had preached the gospel to that city, and had taught many, they returned again to Lystra, and {to} Iconium, and Antioch, {had taught many: Gr. had made many disciples}

Confirming the souls of the disciples, {and} exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that we must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God.
