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 entered together into the synagogue of the Jews, and so spake, that a great multitude both of Jews and of Greeks believed.

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

But the Jews that were disobedient stirred up the souls of the Gentiles, and made them evil affected against the brethren.

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 they tarried [there] speaking boldly in the Lord, which bare witness unto the word of his grace, 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 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 made an onset both of the Gentiles and of the Jews with their rulers, to entreat them shamefully, and to stone them,

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

they became aware of it, and fled unto the cities of Lycaonia, Lystra and Derbe, and the region 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 at Lystra there sat a certain man, impotent in his feet, 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 speaking: who, fastening his eyes upon him, and seeing that he had faith to be made whole,

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 thy feet. And he leaped up 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 multitudes saw what Paul had done, they lifted up their voice, 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, Mercury, 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,

And the priest of Jupiter whose [temple] was before the city, brought oxen and garlands unto the gates, and would have done sacrifice with the multitudes.

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

But when the apostles, Barnabas and Paul, heard of it, they rent their garments, and sprang forth among the multitude, 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 ye these things? We also are men of like passions with you, and bring you good tidings, that ye should turn from these vain things unto the living God, who made the heaven and the earth and the sea, and all that in them is:

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

who in the generations gone by suffered all the 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”;

And yet he left not himself without witness, in that he did good, and gave you from heaven rains and fruitful seasons, filling your 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 multitudes from doing sacrifice unto 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;

But there came Jews thither from Antioch and Iconium: and having persuaded the multitudes, they stoned Paul, and dragged him out of the city, supposing that he was 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.

But as the disciples stood round about him, he rose up, and entered into the city: and on the morrow he went forth 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 made many disciples, they returned to Lystra, and to Iconium, and to 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, exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that through many tribulations we must 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 appointed for them elders in every church, and had prayed with fasting, they commended them to the Lord, on whom they had believed.

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

And they passed through Pisidia, and came to Pamphylia.

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

And when they had spoken the word in Perga, they went down to 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 thence they sailed to Antioch, from whence they had been committed to the grace of God for the work which they had 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 things that God had done with them, and how that he had opened a door of faith unto the Gentiles.

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

And they tarried no little time with the disciples.
