Many Jews and Greeks were saved in Iconium,
But unbelieving Jews stirred up persecution.
The apostles, lest they be stoned, left there and came
To Lystra, where a cripple was healed, from birth lame!
They were hailed gods, and scarce halted sacrifices
Being made to them - rent their clothes in the crisis.
By Jews from Antioch and Iconium led,
A crowd stoned Paul, dragged him away, left him for dead!
Circled by saints, he revived, and with Barnabas
Went to Derbe; then they retraced steps, and thus
Returned to their church in Antioch, Syria,
Through Pamphylia, Perga, and Attalia.
