The Journey and Tribulations of Paul and Barnabas

Paul and Barnabas journey through various cities, including Iconium and Lystra, preaching the Gospel amidst significant challenges. In Lystra, Paul heals a man who has been crippled since birth, leading the crowd to mistakenly identify them as Greek gods, Zeus and Hermes. However, their early acclaim turns to hostility when some Jews persuade the crowd to stone Paul, demonstrating the fickle nature of public opinion and the dangers faced by early Christians. Throughout these events, Paul emphasizes the inevitability of suffering in the Christian journey, stating that entering the kingdom of God requires enduring tribulation.
