Acts 14

¹And it came to pass in Iconium that they entered together into the synagogue of the Jews and so spoke that a very great multitude both of the Jews and of the Greeks did believe.

²But the unbelieving Jews stirred up and incensed the minds of the Gentiles against the brethren.

³A long time therefore they abode there, dealing confidently in the Lord, who gave testimony to the word of his grace, granting signs and wonders to be done by their hands.

⁴And the multitude of the city was divided. And some of them indeed held with the Jews, but some with the apostles.

⁵And when there was an assault made by the Gentiles and the Jews with their rulers, to use them contumeliously and to stone them:

⁶They, understanding it, fled to Lystra and Derbe, cities of Lycaonia, and to the whole country round about: and were there preaching the gospel.

⁷And there sat a certain man at Lystra, impotent in his feet, a cripple from his mother's womb, who never had walked.

⁸This same heard Paul speaking. Who looking upon him and seeing that he had faith to be healed,

⁹Said with a loud voice: Stand upright on thy feet. And he leaped up and walked.

¹⁰And when the multitudes had seen what Paul had done, they lifted up their voice in the Lycaonian tongue, saying: The gods are come down to us in the likeness of men.

¹¹And they called Barnabas, Jupiter: but Paul, Mercury: because he was chief speaker.

¹²The priest also of Jupiter that was before the city, bringing oxen and garlands before the gate, would have offered sacrifice with the people.

¹³Which, when the apostles Barnabas and Paul had heard, rending their clothes, they leaped out among the people, crying,

¹⁴And saying: Ye men, why do ye these things? We also are mortals, men like unto you, preaching to you to be converted from these vain things to the living God, who made the heaven and the earth and the sea and all things that are in them:

¹⁵Who in times past, suffered all nations to walk in their own ways.

¹⁶Nevertheless he left not himself without testimony, doing good from heaven, giving rains and fruitful Seasons, filling our hearts with food and gladness.

¹⁷And speaking these things, they scarce restrained the people from sacrificing to them.

¹⁸Now there came thither certain Jews from Antioch and Iconium: and, persuading the multitude and stoning Paul, drew him out of the city, thinking him to be dead.

¹⁹But as the disciples stood round about him, he rose up and entered into the city: and the next day he departed with Barnabas to Derbe.

²⁰And when they had preached the gospel to that city and had taught many, they returned again to Lystra and to Iconium and to Antioch:

²¹Confirming the souls of the disciples and exhorting them to continue in the faith: and that through many tribulations we must enter into the kingdom of God.

²²And when they had ordained to them priests in every church and had prayed with fasting, they commended them to the Lord, in whom they believed.

²³And passing through Pisidia, they came into Pamphylia.

²⁴And having spoken the word of the Lord in Perge, they went down into Attalia.

²⁵And thence they sailed to Antioch, from whence they had been delivered to the grace of God, unto the work which they accomplished.

²⁶And when they were come and had assembled the church, they related what great things God had done with them and how he had opened the door of faith to the Gentiles.

²⁷And they abode no small time with the disciples.

Acts 14

¹And it came to pass in Iconium, that they went both together into the synagogue of the Jews, and so spake, that a great multitude both of the Jews and also of the Greeks believed.

²But the unbelieving Jews stirred up the Gentiles, and made their minds evil affected against the brethren.

³Long time therefore abode they speaking boldly in the Lord, which gave testimony unto the word of his grace, and granted signs and wonders to be done by their hands.

⁴But the multitude of the city was divided: and part held with the Jews, and part with the apostles.

⁵And when there was an assault made both of the Gentiles, and also of the Jews with their rulers, to use them despitefully, and to stone them,

⁶They were ware of it, and fled unto Lystra and Derbe, cities of Lycaonia, and unto the region that lieth round about:

⁷And there they preached the gospel.

⁸And there sat a certain man at Lystra, impotent in his feet, being a cripple from his mother’s womb, who never had walked:

⁹The same heard Paul speak: who stedfastly beholding him, and perceiving that he had faith to be healed,

¹⁰Said with a loud voice, Stand upright on thy feet. And he leaped and walked.

¹¹And when the people saw what Paul had done, they lifted up their voices, saying in the speech of Lycaonia, The gods are come down to us in the likeness of men.

¹²And they called Barnabas, Jupiter; and Paul, Mercurius, because he was the chief speaker.

¹³Then the priest of Jupiter, which was before their city, brought oxen and garlands unto the gates, and would have done sacrifice with the people.

¹⁴Which when the apostles, Barnabas and Paul, heard of, they rent their clothes, and ran in among the people, crying out,

¹⁵And saying, Sirs, why do ye these things? We also are men of like passions with you, and preach unto you that ye should turn from these vanities unto the living God, which made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and all things that are therein:

¹⁶Who in times past suffered all nations to walk in their own ways.

¹⁷Nevertheless he left not himself without witness, in that he did good, and gave us rain from heaven, and fruitful seasons, filling our hearts with food and gladness.

¹⁸And with these sayings scarce restrained they the people, that they had not done sacrifice unto them.

¹⁹And there came thither certain Jews from Antioch and Iconium, who persuaded the people, and, having stoned Paul, drew him out of the city, supposing he had been dead.

²⁰Howbeit, as the disciples stood round about him, he rose up, and came into the city: and the next day he departed with Barnabas to Derbe.

²¹And when they had preached the gospel to that city, and had taught many, they returned again to Lystra, and to Iconium, and Antioch,

²²Confirming the souls of the disciples, and exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that we must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God.

²³And when they had ordained them elders in every church, and had prayed with fasting, they commended them to the Lord, on whom they believed.

²⁴And after they had passed throughout Pisidia, they came to Pamphylia.

²⁵And when they had preached the word in Perga, they went down into Attalia:

²⁶And thence sailed to Antioch, from whence they had been recommended to the grace of God for the work which they fulfilled.

²⁷And when they were come, and had gathered the church together, they rehearsed all that God had done with them, and how he had opened the door of faith unto the Gentiles.

²⁸And there they abode long time with the disciples.
