What does the Bible say about the apostles preaching in Iconium?
Answered in 1 source
In Iconium, the apostles preached boldly, leading many Jews and Gentiles to believe in Jesus as the Messiah.
The apostles Paul and Barnabas, upon arriving in Iconium, entered the synagogue and preached the gospel with such effectiveness that a great multitude of both Jews and Gentiles believed. However, this preaching was met with opposition from unbelieving Jews who stirred up discontent among the Gentiles, illustrating that the true gospel often causes division and provokes opposition. Yet, the apostles remained steadfast, giving testimony to the word of His grace and performing signs and wonders, confirming the truth of their message. Ultimately, when faced with violent opposition, they prudently left the city to continue their mission elsewhere, illustrating both their commitment to the gospel and their awareness of God's providence in their ministry.
