Paul and Barnabas flee Pisidian Antioch to Iconium, Lystra, then Derbe as they obediently preach the gospel of Christ and bear much fruit in the Province of Galatia. In their ministry to idol worshipping Gentiles, a lame man in Lystra is healed, followed by severe persecution as Paul is stoned and left for dead. Though the hatred and jealousy of the unbelieving Jews who oppose them has no bounds, the apostles persevere as God protects and strengthens them for every good work.  Churches and new disciples are established, elders commissioned, and the testimony of God's faithfulness is brought back to the church in Syrian Antioch.
