Acts 13:51

49 And the word of the Lord spread throughout that region.

50 The Jews, however, incited the religious women of prominence and the leading men of the city. They stirred up persecution against Paul and Barnabas and drove them out of their district.

So they shook the dust off their feet in protest against them and went to Iconium.

52 And the disciples were filled with joy and with the Holy Spirit.

Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
