A city in Asia Minor where Paul and Barnabas planted a church — and nearly got stoned
Asia MinorHistorically Verified
Still exists as modern Konya, Turkey. Ancient Greek and Roman writers mention it, and classical remains have been found.
A city in the region of Galatia (modern-day Konya, Turkey) where Paul and Barnabas preached on Paul's first missionary journey. Many believed, but a mob was stirred up against them and they fled to Lystra and Derbe. Paul and Barnabas returned on the way back to encourage the new believers and appoint elders. Paul later referenced the persecutions he endured at Iconium in 2 Timothy.
Acts
Mistaken for Gods, Left for Dead
Iconium is the city where Paul and Barnabas experience their first major split in this chapter — a huge response among believers matched by an organized opposition campaign that eventually forces them out.
Acts
The Mission That Changed Everything
Iconium is the next destination after Paul and Barnabas are expelled from Pisidian Antioch — they shake the dust off their feet and move on, carrying the mission forward rather than letting opposition end it.
Acts
The Night Everything Changed
Iconium is mentioned alongside Lystra as the region where Timothy's reputation was already well established among the local believers.
