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

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

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

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 But the population of the city was divided. Some sided 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 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 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 became aware of it, and fled to the cities of Lycaonia, Lystra, 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 There they preached the Good News.

And, there, were they announcing the glad tidings.

8 At Lystra a certain man sat, without strength in his feet, a cripple from his mother's womb, 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 He was listening to Paul speaking, who, fastening eyes on him, and seeing that he had faith to be made whole,

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 upright on your feet." He leaped up and walked.

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

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."

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 called Barnabas "Jupiter," and Paul "Mercury," because he was the chief speaker.

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

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.

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 But when the apostles, Barnabas and Paul, heard of it, they tore their clothes, and sprang into the crowd, crying out,

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

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

Who in the bygone generations suffered all the nations to be going on 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."

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

Even these things, saying, scarcely restrained they the multitudes from offering sacrifice unto 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.

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 But as the disciples stood around him, he rose up, and entered into the city. On the next day he went out 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 When they had preached the Good News to that city, and had made many disciples, they returned to Lystra, 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 them to continue in the faith, and that through many afflictions we must enter into the kingdom of God.

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 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.

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 They passed through Pisidia, and came to Pamphylia.

And, passing through Pisidia, they came into Pamphylia;

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

and, speaking in Perga the word, they came down unto 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.

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 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, 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 stayed with the disciples a long time.

And they spent no little time with the disciples.
