Acts 14

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

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

2 But the Jews who did not believe stirred up the minds of [those of] the nations and made [them] evil-affected against the brethren.

But the unbelieving Jews excited and embittered the minds of the Gentiles against the brethren.

3 They stayed therefore a good while, speaking boldly, [confiding] in the Lord, who gave witness to the word of his grace, giving signs and wonders to be done by their hands.

Therefore, they continued a long time, and spoke boldly in the Lord, who gave testimony to the word of his grace, by granting signs and wonders to be done by their hands.

4 And the multitude of the city was divided, and some were with the Jews and some with the apostles.

But the multitude of the city were divided; and some were with the Jews, and some with the apostles.

5 And when an assault was making, both of [those of] the nations and [the] Jews with their rulers, to use [them] ill and stone them,

But when there was a violent purpose on the part of the Gentiles and of the Jews, with their rulers, to outrage and to stone them,

6 they, being aware of it, fled to the cities of Lycaonia, Lystra and Derbe, and the surrounding country,

being aware of it, they fled to the cities of Lycaonia, Lystra, and Derbe, and to the region round about,

7 and there they were announcing the glad tidings.

and there they preached the gospel.

8 And a certain man in Lystra, impotent in his feet, sat, [being] lame from his mother's womb, who had never walked.

And there was a certain man in Lystra, without strength in his feet, who sat, for he was a cripple from his mother’s womb, and had never walked.

9 This [man] heard Paul speaking, who, fixing his eyes on him, and seeing that he had faith to be healed,

This man heard Paul speak, who, looking earnestly on him, and seeing that he had faith to be saved,

10 said with a loud voice, Rise up straight upon thy feet: and he sprang up and walked.

said, with a loud voice: Stand erect upon your feet. And he leaped and walked.

11 But the crowds, who saw what Paul had done, lifted up their voices in Lycaonian, saying, The gods, having made themselves like men, are come down to us.

When the multitude saw what Paul had done, they lifted up their voice, and said, in the Lycaonian language: The Gods have come down to us in the likeness of men.

12 And they called Barnabas Jupiter, and Paul Mercury, because he took the lead in speaking.

And they called Barnabas, Jupiter, and Paul, Mercury, for he was the chief speaker.

13 And the priest of Jupiter who was before the city, having brought bulls and garlands to the gates, would have done sacrifice along with the crowds.

Then the priest of Jupiter, whose temple was before the city, having brought bulls and garlands to the entrance, intended to offer sacrifice, with the multitudes.

14 But the apostles Barnabas and Paul, having heard [it], rent their garments, and rushed out to the crowd, crying

But when the apostles, Barnabas and Paul, heard of it, they rent their clothes, and ran in among the multitude, crying out,

15 and saying, Men, why do ye these things? We also are men of like passions with you, preaching to you to turn from these vanities to the living God, who made the heaven, and the earth, and the sea, and all things in them;

and saying: Men, why are you doing these things? We also are human beings, with passions like your own, and we preach the gospel to you, that you may turn from these vanities to the living God, who made the heaven, and the earth, and the sea, and all things that are in them;

16 who in the past generations suffered all the nations to go in their own ways,

who, in past generations, permitted all the nations to walk in their own ways;

17 though indeed he did not leave himself without witness, doing good, and giving to you from heaven rain and fruitful seasons, filling your hearts with food and gladness.

and yet he did not leave himself without testimony, doing good, and giving you rain from heaven, and fruitful seasons, filling your hearts with food and gladness.

18 And saying these things, they with difficulty kept the crowds from sacrificing to them.

And with these words they hardly restrained the multitudes from offering sacrifice to them.

19 But there came Jews from Antioch and Iconium, and having persuaded the crowds and stoned Paul, drew him out of the city, supposing him to have died.

Then came thither, from Antioch and Iconium, Jews, who persuaded the multitudes; and having stoned Paul, they dragged him out of the city, supposing that he was dead.

20 But while the disciples encircled him, he rose up and entered into the city. And on the morrow he went away with Barnabas to Derbe.

But while the disciples were standing around him, he arose, and went into the city. And on the next day, he departed with Barnabas to Derbe;

21 And having announced the glad tidings to that city, and having made many disciples, they returned to Lystra, and Iconium, and Antioch,

and when they had preached the gospel to that city, and had made many disciples, they returned to Lystra, and to Iconium, and to Antioch,

22 establishing the souls of the disciples, exhorting them to abide in the faith, and that through many tribulations we must enter into the kingdom of God.

strengthening the souls of the disciples, exhorting them to continue in the faith, and saying, that through many afflictions we mast enter the kingdom of God.

23 And having chosen them elders in each assembly, having prayed with fastings, they committed them to the Lord, on whom they had believed.

And when they had appointed elders for them in every church, with prayer and fasting, they commended them to the Lord, on whom they believed.

24 And having passed through Pisidia they came to Pamphylia,

And having passed through Pisidia, they came into Pamphylia;

25 and having spoken the word in Perga, they came down to Attalia;

and when they had preached the word in Perga, they went down to Attalia:

26 and thence they sailed away to Antioch, whence they had been committed to the grace of God for the work which they had fulfilled.

thence they sailed to Antioch, from which place they had been commended to the grace of God, for the work which they had accomplished.

27 And having arrived, and having brought together the assembly, they related to them all that God had done with them, and that he had opened a door of faith to the nations.

And having come and called together the church, they reported all that God had done with them, and that he had opened the door of faith to the Gentiles.

28 And they stayed no little time with the disciples.

And they continued a long time with the disciples.
