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.

At Iconium Paul and Barnabas went together into the synagogue of the Jews and spoke in such a way that a great multitude of both 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 Jews who refused to believe stirred up and corrupted the minds of the Gentiles to be against the brothers.

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.

So Paul and Barnabas spent a long time there, speaking boldly for the Lord, who was testifying to the message of his grace by granting signs and wonders to be done by their hands.

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

But the population of the city was divided; some were with the Jews, and some were 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 an attempt was made by both the Gentiles and the Jews, together with their rulers, to mistreat them and stone them,

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

Paul and Barnabas became aware of it and fled for refuge to the Lycaonian cities of Lystra and Derbe and to the surrounding region.

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

There they continued to preach 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.

Now there was a man sitting in Lystra who could not use his feet. He had been lame from his mother's womb and had never walked.

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

This man listened to Paul as he was speaking. Paul looked at him intently, and when he saw that he had faith to be healed,

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

he said with a loud voice, “Stand up on yoʋr feet!” So the man leaped up and began to walk.

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!

When the crowds saw what Paul had done, they lifted up their voices, saying in Lycaonian, “The gods have come down to us in the likeness of men.”

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

Barnabas they called Zeus, and Paul they called Hermes, since he was the one who took the lead in speaking.

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.

Then the priest of the shrine of Zeus that was located in front of their city brought bulls and garlands to the city gates, intending to offer sacrifices together with the crowds.

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

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

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 also are men with the same nature as you. We are bringing you good news, telling you to turn from these worthless things to the living God, who made the heavens, the earth, the sea, and all that is in them.

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

In past generations he allowed all the nations to go their own way,

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.

although he did not leave himself without a witness in that he did good by giving you rain from heaven and fruitful seasons, filling our hearts with food and gladness.”

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

Yet even by saying these things, they barely restrained the crowds 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.

Then some Jews came from Antioch and Iconium and persuaded the crowds. They stoned Paul and dragged him out of the city, supposing 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 when the disciples gathered around him, he rose and entered the city. The next day he went on with Barnabas to 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, —

After preaching the gospel in that city and making many disciples, Paul and Barnabas returned to Lystra, Iconium, and 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 continue in the faith, and telling them that through many tribulations we must enter 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 when they had appointed elders for them in every church, with prayer and fasting they entrusted them to the Lord in whom they had come to believe.

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

After passing through Pisidia, they came to Pamphylia,

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

and when they had spoken the word in Perga, they went down to 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.

From there they sailed to Antioch, where they had been committed to the grace of God for the work they had now completed.

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.

After they arrived and gathered the church together, they reported all that God had done through them, and how he had opened a door of faith to the Gentiles.

28 And they spent no little time with the disciples.

And they stayed there with the disciples for some time.
