At Iconium Paul and Barnabas went as usual into the Jewish synagogue.
There they spoke so effectively that a great number of Jews and Greeks
believed.
2 But the Jews who refused to believe stirred up the other Gentiles and poisoned their minds against the brothers.

So Paul and Barnabas spent considerable time there, speaking boldly for
the Lord, who confirmed the message of his grace by enabling them to
perform signs and wonders.
4 The people of the city were divided; some sided with the Jews, others with the apostles.
5 There was a plot afoot among both Gentiles and Jews, together with their leaders, to mistreat them and stone them.
6 But they found out about it and fled to the Lycaonian cities of Lystra and Derbe and to the surrounding country,
7 where they continued to preach the gospel.
From Pisidian Antioch Barnabas and Paul went to Iconium to preach the good news. As with the previous city, many people both Jews and Greeks accepts the goods, but there were also Jews who opposed the apostles and plotted against them; they stirred the people against them. So the apostles were forced to leave the city and move on to the next to continue preaching.
