3They stayed therefore a good while, speaking boldly, [confiding] in the Lord, who gave witness to the word of his grace, giving signs and wonders to be done by their hands. 4And the multitude of the city was divided, and some were with the Jews and some with the apostles. And when an assault was making, both of [those of] the nations and [the] Jews with their rulers, to use [them] ill and stone them, 6they, being aware of it, fled to the cities of Lycaonia, Lystra and Derbe, and the surrounding country, 7and there they were announcing the glad tidings.
