✦ MADE SIMPLE
Then some Jewish leaders from Antioch and Iconium showed up and turned the crowd against Paul and Barnabas. They got so worked up that they actually stoned Paul and dragged him outside the city, thinking they'd killed him.
⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE
Paul's enemies literally tried to stone him to death — ministry isn't always safe.
