Acts 14

1 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.

And it came to pass in Iconium at this time, they came together into the synagogue of the Jews, and spoke in such a manner, that a great multitude both of the Jews and Greeks believed.

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

But the unbelieving Jews stirred up and poisoned the minds of the Gentiles against the brethren.

3 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.

Then indeed preaching boldly in behalf of the Lord, witnessing to the word of His grace, giving signs and wonders to be wrought by their hands, they spent much time.

4 And the throng of the city was divided; and some indeed were with the Jews, while some were with the apostles.

And the multitude of the city was divided: and some indeed were with the Jews, and some with the apostles.

5 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,

And when there was a conspiracy of both Gentiles and Jews along with their leaders, to insult and stone them,

6 They became aware of it, and fled unto the cities of Lycaonia, Lystra and Derbe, and the surrounding country;

recognizing it, they fled into the cities of Lycaonia, Lystra, and Derbe, and the surrounding country;

7 And, there, were they announcing the glad tidings.

and there they preached the gospel.

8 And, a certain man in Lystra, impotent in his feet, was sitting, —lame from his mother’s womb, who never had walked.

And there was a certain man sitting there in Lystra, impotent in his feet, being lame from the womb of his mother, who never did walk about.

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

He heard Paul speaking, who fixing his attention on him, and seeing that he had faith to be saved,

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

said with a loud voice, Stand upright on thy feet. And he leaped and continued to walk around.

11 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!

And the multitudes seeing what Paul did, lifted up their voice, in Lycaonic, saying, The gods having assumed the likeness of men have come down to us:

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

and they were calling Barnabas, Jupiter; and Paul, Mercury, since he was the leader of the speech.

13 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.

And the priest of Jupiter, being in front of the city, having brought oxen and garlands to the gate, wished to offer sacrifices to them, along with the multitudes.

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

And the apostles, Barnabas and Paul, hearing, rending their garments, rushed into the crowd, crying out, and saying,

15 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;

Men, why are you doing these things? We are also men of like suffering with you, preaching the gospel to you that you should turn from these vanities to the living God, who created the heaven, and the earth, and the sea, and all things which are in them:

16 Who in the bygone generations suffered all the nations to be going on in their own ways, —

who in bygone generations, suffered all nations to walk in their own ways;

17 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.

indeed he did not leave himself without witnesses, doing good, giving to you the rains from heaven, and fruitful seasons, filling your hearts with food and gladness.

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

And speaking these things they scarcely restrained the multitude from offering sacrifices to them.

19 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.

But the Jews came from Antioch and Iconium, and having persuaded the multitudes, stoned Paul, dragged him out of the city, thinking that he was dead;

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

but, the disciples having surrounded him, rising up, he came into the city. And on the following day he came with Barnabas into Derbe;

21 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, —

and preaching the gospel to that city, and making many disciples, they returned into Lystra, and into Iconium, and into Antioch,

22 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.

strengthening the souls of the disciples, exhorting them to abide in the faith, and it behooves them through many tribulations to enter into the kingdom of God.

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

And electing elders for them in every church, praying with fasting, they commended them to the Lord, on whom they had believed.

24 And, passing through Pisidia, they came into Pamphylia;

And having come through Pisidia, they came into Pamphylia.

25 and, speaking in Perga the word, they came down unto Attalia;

And having spoken the word in Perge, they came down into Attalia;

26 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.

and thence they sailed away into Antioch, whence they had been committed to the grace of God for the work which they fulfilled.

27 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.

And arriving, and convening the church, they reported so many things as God did with them, and that He opened the door of faith to the Gentiles.

28 And they spent no little time with the disciples.

And they spent no small time with the disciples.
