Paul and Barnabas in Iconium Acts 14:1-7: The missionary journey carried the brethren to Iconium. There they spoke of the grace of God and His gospel. They taught the people with power, boldness and courage. The result was that a great multitude of the Jews and Gentiles believed. The part of the Jews that continued in unbelief stirred the minds of the people in an evil way against the apostles.

The missionaries stayed a long time at Iconiun. They did not even seem discouraged at the treatment that they had received. The preaching of the gospel cause division. Some agreed with the apostles doctrine and others condemned their doctrine as false. The unbelievers attempted to stone the apostles as blasphemers. This caused these brethren to flee to Lystra and Derbe, cities of Lycaonia. Even in difficult times they never lost the focus of their purpose. "And there they preached the gospel." (Acts 14:7)
