Acts 14

1 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;

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.

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

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

3 [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.

Long time therefore stayed they speaking boldly in the Lord, which gave testimony to the word of his grace, and granted 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 was divided: and part held with the Jews, and part with the apostles.

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

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

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

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

7 and there they were proclaiming good news.

And there they preached the gospel.

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

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

9 this one was hearing Paul speaking, who, having steadfastly beheld him, and having seen that he has faith to be saved,

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

10 said with a loud voice, “Stand up on your feet upright”; and he was springing and walking,

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

11 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”;

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.

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

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

13 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,

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

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

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

15 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;

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

16 who in the past generations permitted all the nations to go on in their ways,

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

17 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”;

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.

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

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

19 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;

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.

20 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.

However, 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.

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

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

22 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,

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.

23 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.

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.

24 And having passed through Pisidia, they came to Pamphylia,

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

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

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

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

And there sailed to Antioch, from where they had been recommended to the grace of God for the work which they fulfilled.

27 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;

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 to the Gentiles.

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

And there they stayed long time with the disciples.
