Acts 14

1 It happened in Iconium that they entered together into the Jewish synagogue, and so spoke that a great number of both of Jews and of Greeks believed.

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

2 But the disbelieving Jews stirred up and embittered the souls of the non-Jewish people against the brothers.

But the unbelieving Jews excited and embittered the minds of the Gentiles against the brethren.

3 Therefore they stayed there a long time, speaking boldly in the Lord, who testified to the word of his grace, granting signs and wonders to be done by their hands.

Therefore, they continued a long time, and spoke boldly in the Lord, who gave testimony to the word of his grace, by granting signs and wonders to be done by their hands.

4 But the population of the city was divided. Some sided with the Jews, and some with the apostles.

But the multitude of the city were divided; and some were with the Jews, and some with the apostles.

5 When some of both the non-Jewish people and the Jews, with their rulers, made a violent attempt to mistreat and stone them,

But when there was a violent purpose on the part of the Gentiles and of the Jews, with their rulers, to outrage and to stone them,

6 they became aware of it, and fled to the cities of Lycaonia, Lystra, Derbe, and the surrounding region.

being aware of it, they fled to the cities of Lycaonia, Lystra, and Derbe, and to the region round about,

7 There they preached the Good News.

and there they preached the gospel.

8 At Lystra a certain man sat, without strength in his feet, a cripple from his mother's womb, who never had walked.

And there was a certain man in Lystra, without strength in his feet, who sat, for he was a cripple from his mother’s womb, and had never walked.

9 He was listening to Paul speaking, who, fastening eyes on him, and seeing that he had faith to be made whole,

This man heard Paul speak, who, looking earnestly on him, and seeing that he had faith to be saved,

10 said with a loud voice, "Stand upright on your feet." He leaped up and walked.

said, with a loud voice: Stand erect upon your feet. And he leaped and walked.

11 When the crowd saw what Paul had done, they lifted up their voice, saying in the language of Lycaonia, "The gods have come down to us in human form."

When the multitude saw what Paul had done, they lifted up their voice, and said, in the Lycaonian language: The Gods have come down to us in the likeness of men.

12 They called Bar-Naba "Jupiter," and Paul "Mercury," because he was the chief speaker.

And they called Barnabas, Jupiter, and Paul, Mercury, for he was the chief speaker.

13 The priest of Jupiter, whose temple was in front of their city, brought oxen and garlands to the gates, and would have made a sacrifice along with the crowds.

Then the priest of Jupiter, whose temple was before the city, having brought bulls and garlands to the entrance, intended to offer sacrifice, with the multitudes.

14 But when the apostles, Bar-Naba and Paul, heard of it, they tore their clothes, and sprang into the crowd, crying out,

But when the apostles, Barnabas and Paul, heard of it, they rent their clothes, and ran in among the multitude, crying out,

15 "Men, why are you doing these things? We also are men of like passions with you, and bring you good news, that you should turn from these vain things to the living God, who made the sky and the earth and the sea, and all that is in them;

and saying: Men, why are you doing these things? We also are human beings, with passions like your own, and we preach the gospel to you, that you may turn from these vanities to the living God, who made the heaven, and the earth, and the sea, and all things that are in them;

16 who in the generations gone by allowed all the nations to walk in their own ways.

who, in past generations, permitted all the nations to walk in their own ways;

17 Yet he did not leave himself without witness, in that he did good and gave you rains from the sky and fruitful seasons, filling your hearts with food and gladness."

and yet he did not leave himself without testimony, doing good, and giving you rain from heaven, and fruitful seasons, filling your hearts with food and gladness.

18 Even saying these things, they hardly stopped the crowds from making a sacrifice to them.

And with these words they hardly restrained the multitudes from offering sacrifice to them.

19 But some Jews from Antioch and Iconium came there, and having persuaded the crowds, they stoned Paul, and dragged him out of the city, supposing that he was dead.

Then came thither, from Antioch and Iconium, Jews, who persuaded the multitudes; and having stoned Paul, they dragged him out of the city, supposing that he was dead.

20 But as the disciples stood around him, he rose up, and entered into the city. On the next day he went out with Bar-Naba to Derbe.

But while the disciples were standing around him, he arose, and went into the city. And on the next day, he departed with Barnabas to Derbe;

21 When they had preached the Good News to that city, and had made many disciples, they returned to Lystra, 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 them to continue in the faith, and that through many afflictions we must enter into the Kingdom of God.

strengthening the souls of the disciples, exhorting them to continue in the faith, and saying, that through many afflictions we mast enter the kingdom of God.

23 When they had appointed elders for them in every church, and had prayed with fasting, they commended them to the Lord, on whom they had believed.

And when they had appointed elders for them in every church, with prayer and fasting, they commended them to the Lord, on whom they believed.

24 They passed through Pisidia, and came to Pamphylia.

And having passed through Pisidia, they came into Pamphylia;

25 When they had spoken the word in Perga, they went down to Attalia.

and when they had preached the word in Perga, they went down to Attalia:

26 From there they sailed to Antioch, from where they had been committed to the grace of God for the work which they had fulfilled.

thence they sailed to Antioch, from which place they had been commended to the grace of God, for the work which they had accomplished.

27 When they had arrived, and had gathered the church together, they reported all the things that God had done with them, and that he had opened a door of faith to the nations.

And having come and called together the church, they reported all that God had done with them, and that he had opened the door of faith to the Gentiles.

28 And they stayed with the disciples a long time.

And they continued a long time with the disciples.
