1 En Iconio entraron en la congregación de los judíos, y hablaron de tal manera que creyó una gran multitud de judíos y griegos.
1 In Iconium, they entered together into the synagogue of the Jews, and so spoke that a great multitude both of Jews and of Greeks believed.
2 Pero los judíos que no creían incitaron y llenaron de odio los ánimos de los gentiles contra los hermanos.
2 But the disbelieving Jews stirred up and embittered the souls of the Gentiles against the brothers.
3 A pesar de todo, se detuvieron [allí] mucho tiempo, y hablaban osadamente [confiados] en el Señor, Quién confirmaba la Palabra de su gracia y concedía que se hicieran señales milagrosas y prodigios por medio de sus manos.
3 Therefore they stayed there a long time, speaking boldly in the Lord, who testified to the word of his grace, granting signs and wonders to be done by their hands.
4 La población de la ciudad se dividió: unos estaban con los judíos y otros con los apóstoles.
4 But the multitude of the city was divided. Part sided with the Jews and part with the apostles.
5 Pero los gentiles, los judíos y sus gobernantes prepararon un atentado para maltratarlos y apedrearlos.
5 When some of both the Gentiles and the Jews, with their rulers, made a violent attempt to mistreat and stone them,
6 Al saber esto, [los apóstoles] huyeron a las ciudades de Licaonia, Listra, Derbe y sus alrededores
6 they became aware of it and fled to the cities of Lycaonia, Lystra, Derbe, and the surrounding region.
7 donde proclamaron las Buenas Noticias.
7 There they preached the Good News.
8 En Listra estaba sentado un hombre impotente de los pies que nunca anduvo, cojo desde [el] vientre de su madre.
8 At Lystra a certain man sat, impotent in his feet, a cripple from his mother’s womb, who never had walked.
9 Éste escuchó cuando Pablo hablaba, quien lo miró directamente. Al ver que tenía fe para ser sanado,
9 He was listening to Paul speaking, who, fastening eyes on him and seeing that he had faith to be made whole,
10 [le] dijo a gran voz: ¡Levántate! Él saltó y andaba.
10 said with a loud voice, “Stand upright on your feet!” He leaped up and walked.
11 La multitud que vio lo que Pablo hizo alzó su voz en lengua licaónica: ¡Dioses semejantes a hombres bajaron a visitarnos!
11 When the multitude saw what Paul had done, they lifted up their voice, saying in the language of Lycaonia, “The gods have come down to us in the likeness of men!”
12 A Bernabé lo llamaban Zeus, y a Pablo, Hermes, porque era quien hablaba la Palabra.
12 They called Barnabas “Jupiter”, and Paul “Mercury”, because he was the chief speaker.
13 El sacerdote de Zeus, cuyo [templo] estaba en las afueras de la ciudad, llevó toros y guirnaldas a los portones y quería ofrecer sacrificio junto con la multitud.
13 The priest of Jupiter, whose temple was in front of their city, brought oxen and garlands to the gates, and would have made a sacrifice along with the multitudes.
14 Pero, cuando los apóstoles Bernabé y Pablo lo oyeron, rasgaron sus mantos, corrieron hacia la multitud y gritaban:
14 But when the apostles, Barnabas and Paul, heard of it, they tore their clothes and sprang into the multitude, crying out,
15 Señores, ¿por qué hacen esto? Nosotros también somos hombres semejantes a ustedes. Les anunciamos las Buenas Noticias para que den la vuelta de estas vanidades hacia el Dios vivo, Quien hizo el cielo, la tierra, el mar y todo lo que hay en ellos.
15 “Men, why are you doing these things? We also are men of the same nature as you, and bring you good news, that you should turn from these vain things to the living God, who made the sky, the earth, the sea, and all that is in them;
16 En los tiempos pasados, [Dios] permitió que todas las gentes practicaran sus propios caprichos.
16 who in the generations gone by allowed all the nations to walk in their own ways.
17 Sin embargo se manifestó de muchas maneras y les hizo bien: les dio lluvias del cielo y estaciones anuales fructíferas, y los llenó de sustento y alegría.
17 Yet he didn’t leave himself without witness, in that he did good and gave you rains from the sky and fruitful seasons, filling our hearts with food and gladness.”
18 Cuando dijeron estas cosas, con dificultad detuvieron a la multitud para que no les ofreciera sacrificio.
18 Even saying these things, they hardly stopped the multitudes from making a sacrifice to them.
19 Pero llegaron unos judíos de Antioquía e Iconio quienes persuadieron a la multitud para que apedrearan a Pablo. [Lo] arrastraron fuera de la ciudad, porque lo consideraban muerto.
19 But some Jews from Antioch and Iconium came there, and having persuaded the multitudes, they stoned Paul and dragged him out of the city, supposing that he was dead.
20 Pero cuando los discípulos lo rodearon, se levantó y volvió a la ciudad. El día siguiente salió con Bernabé hacia Derbe
20 But as the disciples stood around him, he rose up, and entered into the city. On the next day he went out with Barnabas to Derbe.
21 donde anunciaron las Buenas Noticias e hicieron muchos discípulos. Regresaron a Listra, Iconio y Antioquía.
21 When they had preached the Good News to that city and had made many disciples, they returned to Lystra, Iconium, and Antioch,
22 Fortalecieron a los discípulos y los exhortaron a perseverar en la fe. [Les decían]: Es necesario que a través de muchas aflicciones entremos en el reino de Dios.
22 strengthening the souls of the disciples, exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that through many afflictions we must enter into God’s Kingdom.
23 En cada iglesia designaron ancianos. Hablaron con Dios y ayunaron. Los encomendaron al Señor en Quien creyeron.
23 When they had appointed elders for them in every assembly, and had prayed with fasting, they commended them to the Lord on whom they had believed.

24 They passed through Pisidia and came to Pamphylia.
25 Hablaron la Palabra en Perge y bajaron a Atalia.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
Mark the vehemence with which all this is done by the Apostles: "rent their clothes, ran in, cried out," all from strong affection of the soul, revolted by the things that were done.

… and all things that are therein; who in times past suffered all nations to walk in their own ways, although He left not Himself without witness, performing acts of goodness, giving you rain from heaven, and fruitful seasons, filling your hearts with food and gladness." But that all his Epistles are consonant to these declarations, I shall, when expounding the …
For admirably, when he had said, "Thousands of men rejoicing:" immediately he added, "The Lord is in them." That we may not wonder why they rejoice, "The Lord is in them." For through many tribulations we must needs enter into the kingdom of God, but, "The Lord is in them." Therefore even if they are as it were sorrowful, yet …

Believe then that this Only-begotten Son of God for our sins came down from heaven upon earth, and took upon Him this human nature of like passions with us, and was begotten of the Holy Virgin and of the Holy Ghost, and was made Man, not in seeming and mere show, but in truth; nor yet by passing through the …
