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 entered together into the synagogue of the Jews, and spoke, so that there believed a great multitude of both Jews and Greeks;

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.

and the unbelieving Jews stirred up and made the souls of the nations evil against the brothers;

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.

[for a] long time, indeed, therefore, they abided speaking boldly in the LORD, who is testifying to the word of His grace, and granting signs and wonders to come to pass through their hands.

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

And the multitude of the city was 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,

and when there was a purpose both of the nations and of the Jews with their rulers to mistreat [them], and to stone them,

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

they having become aware, fled to the cities of Lycaonia, Lystra, and Derbe, and the surrounding region,

7 and there they were announcing the glad tidings.

and there they were proclaiming good news.

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

And a certain man in Lystra, impotent in the feet, was sitting, being lame from the womb of his mother—who never had walked;

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

this one was hearing Paul speaking, who, having steadfastly beheld him, and having seen that he has 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 up on your feet upright”; and he was springing and walking,

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.

and the multitudes having seen what Paul did, lifted up their voice in the speech of Lycaonia, saying, “The gods, having become like men, came down to us”;

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

they were also calling Barnabas Zeus, and Paul Hermes, since he was the leader in speaking.

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.

And the priest of the Zeus that is before their city, having brought oxen and garlands to the porches, wished to sacrifice with the multitudes,

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

and having heard, the apostles Barnabas and Paul, having torn their garments, sprung into the multitude, crying

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 do you do these things? And we are similar-feeling men with you, proclaiming good news to you, to turn to the living God from these vanities, who made the heaven, and the earth, and the sea, and all the things in them;

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

who in the past generations permitted all the nations to go on in their 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.

though, indeed, He did not leave Himself without witness, doing good—giving rains to us from Heaven, and fruitful seasons, filling our hearts with food and gladness”;

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

and saying these things, they scarcely restrained the multitudes from sacrificing 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.

And there came there, from Antioch and Iconium, Jews, and they having persuaded the multitudes, and having stoned Paul, drew him outside of the city, having supposed him to be 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.

and the disciples having surrounded him, having risen he entered into the city, and on the next day he went forth 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,

Having also proclaimed good news to that city, and having discipled many, they turned back to Lystra, and Iconium, and 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.

confirming the souls of the disciples, exhorting to remain in the faith, and that it is required of us to enter into the Kingdom of God through many tribulations,

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 having appointed to them elders in every assembly by vote, having prayed with fastings, they commended them to the LORD in whom they had believed.

24 And having passed through Pisidia they came to Pamphylia,

And having passed through Pisidia, they came to Pamphylia,

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

and having spoken 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.

and [from] there sailed to Antioch, from where they had been given by the grace of God for the work that they fulfilled;

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 gathered the assembly together, they declared as many things as God did with them, and that He opened a door of faith to the nations;

28 And they stayed no little time with the disciples.

and they abided there with the disciples [for] not a short time.
