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

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

But, the unpersuaded Jews, roused up and provoked the souls of them of the nations 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.

A good while, therefore, tarried they, using boldness of speech [in dependence] upon the Lord, who was bearing witness unto his word of favour, granting signs and wonders to be coming 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 throng of the city was divided; and some indeed were with the Jews, while some were 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,

But, when there took place an assault both of them of the nations and of the Jews, with their rulers, to maltreat 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 surrounding country;

7 and there they were proclaiming good news.

And, there, were they announcing the glad tidings.

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, a certain man in Lystra, impotent in his feet, was sitting, —lame 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,

This man, hearkened unto Paul, as he was speaking, —who, looking steadfastly at him, and seeing he had faith to be made well,

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

Said, with a loud voice—Stand up on thy feet, erect! And he sprang up, and began to walk about.

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, the multitudes, seeing what Paul had done, lifted up their voice, in the speech of Lycaonia—The gods, made like unto men, have come down unto us!

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

And they went on to call Barnabas, Jupiter, and Paul, Mercury, seeing that, he, was the leader of discourse.

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,

Also, the priest of the Jupiter that was before the city, bringing bulls and garlands unto the gates, with the multitudes, would have offered sacrifice.

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

But the apostles Barnabas and Paul, hearing of it, rending asunder their own mantles, sprang forward amidst the multitude, crying aloud,

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—Men! Why, these things, are ye doing? We also, of like nature with you, are men, bringing you the good news, that from these vain things, ye should be turning unto a living God: —Who made heaven and the earth and the sea and all things therein;

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

Who in the bygone generations suffered all the nations to be going on 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”;

Although, not without witness, he left himself, doing good, from heaven, upon you, giving rain and fruitful seasons, filling, with food and gladness, your hearts.

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

Even these things, saying, scarcely restrained they the multitudes from offering 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 thither, from Antioch and Iconium, Jews, and, persuading the multitudes, and stoning Paul, they dragged him outside the city, supposing him to be 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.

Howbeit, the disciples surrounding him, he rose up, and entered into the city. And, on the morrow, he went forth, with Barnabas, unto Derbe.

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

Delivering the good news unto that city also, and making a good number of disciples, they returned unto Lystra, and unto Iconium, and unto 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, beseeching them to abide in the faith, and [declaring] that, through many tribulations, must we 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.

Moreover, appointing unto them by vote, in each assembly, elders, praying with fastings, they commended them unto the Lord on whom they had believed.

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

And, passing through Pisidia, they came into Pamphylia;

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

and, speaking in Perga the word, they came down unto 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, from thence, they set sail for Antioch, whence they had been given up unto the favour 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 had arrived and gathered together the assembly, they began recounting how many things God had done with them, and that he had opened, unto the nations, a door of faith.

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

And they spent no little time with the disciples.
