Question 1 Report

Paul was stoned and dragged out of the city by
Answer Details
Paul was stoned and dragged out of the city by Jews from Antioch and Iconium. This event occurred during Paul's first missionary journey to Lystra in the book of Acts. Paul and Barnabas were preaching the gospel message, and a man who had been lame from birth was healed. The people of the city, including some Jews, were amazed and started to worship Paul and Barnabas as gods. However, when the Jews from Antioch and Iconium heard about this, they stirred up the crowd and convinced them to turn against Paul and Barnabas. They stoned Paul, leaving him for dead, and dragged him outside the city. Despite being severely injured, Paul later recovered and continued his missionary work. This event is significant in Christian history because it demonstrates the opposition and persecution that early Christians faced while spreading the gospel message.
