Acts 14

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

And it came to pass in Iconium at this time, they came together into the synagogue of the Jews, and spoke in such a manner, that a great multitude both of the Jews and Greeks believed.

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

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

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

Then indeed preaching boldly in behalf of the Lord, witnessing to the word of His grace, giving signs and wonders to be wrought by their hands, they spent much time.

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

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

5 And 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,

And when there was a conspiracy of both Gentiles and Jews along with their leaders, to insult and stone them,

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

recognizing it, they fled into the cities of Lycaonia, Lystra, and Derbe, and the surrounding country;

7 And there they preached the gospel.

and there they preached the gospel.

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

And there was a certain man sitting there in Lystra, impotent in his feet, being lame from the womb of his mother, who never did walk about.

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

He heard Paul speaking, who fixing his attention on him, and seeing that he had faith to be saved,

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

said with a loud voice, Stand upright on thy feet. And he leaped and continued to walk around.

11 And 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.

And the multitudes seeing what Paul did, lifted up their voice, in Lycaonic, saying, The gods having assumed the likeness of men have come down to us:

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

and they were calling Barnabas, Jupiter; and Paul, Mercury, since he was the leader of the speech.

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

And the priest of Jupiter, being in front of the city, having brought oxen and garlands to the gate, wished to offer sacrifices to them, along with the multitudes.

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

And the apostles, Barnabas and Paul, hearing, rending their garments, rushed into the crowd, crying out, and saying,

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

Men, why are you doing these things? We are also men of like suffering with you, preaching the gospel to you that you should turn from these vanities to the living God, who created the heaven, and the earth, and the sea, and all things which are in them:

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

who in bygone generations, suffered all nations to walk in their own ways;

17 Nevertheless 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.

indeed he did not leave himself without witnesses, doing good, giving to you the rains from heaven, and fruitful seasons, filling your hearts with food and gladness.

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

And speaking these things they scarcely restrained the multitude from offering sacrifices to them.

19 And 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.

But the Jews came from Antioch and Iconium, and having persuaded the multitudes, stoned Paul, dragged him out of the city, thinking that he was dead;

20 Nevertheless, 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.

but, the disciples having surrounded him, rising up, he came into the city. And on the following day he came with Barnabas into Derbe;

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

and preaching the gospel to that city, and making many disciples, they returned into Lystra, and into Iconium, and into Antioch,

22 Confirming 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.

strengthening the souls of the disciples, exhorting them to abide in the faith, and it behooves them through many tribulations to enter into the kingdom of God.

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

And electing elders for them in every church, praying with fasting, they commended them to the Lord, on whom they had believed.

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

And having come through Pisidia, they came into Pamphylia.

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

And having spoken the word in Perge, they came down into Attalia;

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

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

27 And 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.

And arriving, and convening the church, they reported so many things as God did with them, and that He opened the door of faith to the Gentiles.

28 And there they abode long time with the disciples.

And they spent no small time with the disciples.
