Acts 14:7

Witness and mission

5 But when the Gentiles and Jews, together with their rulers, set out to mistreat and stone them,

6 they found out about it and fled to the Lycaonian cities of Lystra and Derbe and to the surrounding region,

where they continued to preach the gospel.

8 In Lystra there sat a man crippled in his feet, who was lame from birth and had never walked.

9 This man was listening to the words of Paul, who looked intently at him and saw that he had faith to be healed.
