Acts 14:1-7
To Iconium
Basically, the same thing happened in Iconium as in Antioch. There were a great number of Jews and Greeks that believed. The Jews that did not believe inflamed the people. Paul and Barnabas had to leave.
Acts 14:8-18
Mistaken for gods
Paul and Barnabas were involved in an interesting incident in Lystra. This was around mostly non-Jewish people because the crowd got the idea that Paul and Baranabus were Zeus and Hermes come to earth in disguise to interact with them.
This is interesting because it shows Paul interacting people non-Jewish people and how that he gets the point across. Paul started with nature to lead them to introducing them to the God behind it all. He started with the here and now to get to then and there-the story of Jesus and his sacrifice for all people.
Where do we start with the here and now? Then, how do we get back to then, the crucifixion, and there, the middle east?
