In the book of Acts, which apostle continued his ministry even after being stoned and left for dead?
Correct Answer
C) Paul
In Acts 14:19-20, we read that Paul was stoned by opponents in Lystra and dragged out of the city, presumed to be dead. However, after the disciples gathered around him, he got up and went back into the city. The very next day, he left for Derbe to continue preaching the gospel. This incident demonstrates Paul's extraordinary perseverance in his mission, exemplifying the theme of "fighting the good fight" and "finishing the race" that we see in 2 Timothy 4:7. Despite facing extreme hardship and near-death experiences, Paul continued to press on in his faith and ministry, embodying the spirit of endurance in the Christian journey.
