Acts 14:18-20
18 And with these sayings they could scarcely restrain the multitudes from sacrificing to them. 19 Then Jews from Antioch and Iconium came there; and having persuaded the multitudes, they stoned Paul and dragged him out of the city, supposing him to be dead. 20 However, when the disciples gathered around him, he rose up and went into the city. And the next day he departed with Barnabas to Derbe.
From leader worshippers back to attempted murder, Paul suffered for the gospel but did not give up in proclaiming the necessary and soul-consuming message of the Christ. His suffering, death, burial, and resurrection with the eternal hope of glory drove Paul ever onward and upward in the race. So Paul got up after being stoned and went on with Barnabas to the next city with the words of life.
