Acts 14

1 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.

And at Iconium they went both together into the synagogue of the Jews, and so spake, that a great number both of the Jews and of the Greeks believed.

2 But the Jews who refused to believe stirred up and corrupted the minds of the Gentiles to be against the brothers.

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

3 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.

They therefore stayed a considerable time speaking freely of the Lord, who bare witness to the word of his grace, and gave signs and wonders to be done by their hands.

4 But the population of the city was divided; some were with the Jews, and some were with the apostles.

But the multitude of the city was divided: and some were for the Jews, and some for the apostles:

5 And when an attempt was made by both the Gentiles and the Jews, together with their rulers, to mistreat them and stone them,

but when there was an effort both of the Gentiles and of the Jews, together with their rulers, to offer violence to them, and to stone them;

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

being apprised of it they fled to the cities of Lycaonia, Lystra and Derbe, and the adjacent country:

7 There they continued to preach the gospel.

and there they preached the gospel.

8 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.

And there was sitting at Lystra, a man disabled in his feet, who had never walked at all, being lame from his birth.

9 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,

This man heard Paul speaking; who looking earnestly at him, and perceiving that he had faith to be healed,

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

said with a loud voice, Stand upright on thy feet. And he leaped up, and walked.

11 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.”

And the people, seeing what Paul had done, lifted up their voice, saying in the Lycaonian tongue, The gods are come down to us in the likeness of men.

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

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

13 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.

And the priest of Jupiter, whose image was before the city, brought oxen and garlands to the gates, and with the people would have offered sacrifices to them.

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

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

15 “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.

crying out, and saying, "Sirs, why do ye these things? we also are men subject to the like infirmities with you, and we preach the gospel unto you, that ye may turn from these vanities to the living God, who made the heaven, and the earth, and the sea,

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

and all things therein, who in generations past suffered all the nations to walk in their own ways: though He left not Himself without witness;

17 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.”

for He did us good, in giving us rain from heaven, and fruitful seasons, filling our hearts with food and gladness."

18 Yet even by saying these things, they barely restrained the crowds from offering sacrifices to them.

And saying these things, they with difficulty restrained the people from sacrificing to them.

19 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.

But there came thither some Jews from Antioch and Iconium, and persuading the multitude, stoned Paul, and dragged him out of the city, supposing him to be dead.

20 But when the disciples gathered around him, he rose and entered the city. The next day he went on with Barnabas to Derbe.

But when the disciples were gathered round him, he rose up and came into the city: and the next day he departed with Barnabas to Derbe.

21 After preaching the gospel in that city and making many disciples, Paul and Barnabas returned to Lystra, Iconium, and Antioch,

And when they had preached the gospel to that city, and made many disciples, they returned to Lystra, and Iconium, and Antioch;

22 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.

confirming the souls of the disciples, exhorting them to continue in the faith, and telling them that through many afflictions we must enter into the kingdom of God.

23 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.

And when they had appointed them elders in every church, praying and fasting, they recommended them to the Lord, in whom they had believed.

24 After passing through Pisidia, they came to Pamphylia,

And passing through Pisidia, they came to Pamphylia.

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

And when they had preached the word at Perga, they went down to Attalia.

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

And from thence they sailed to Antioch, from whence they had been recommended to the grace of God, for the work which they had now fulfilled.

27 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.

And when they were come, and had gathered the church together, they related what God had done by them, and how he had opened the door of faith to the Gentiles.

28 And they stayed there with the disciples for some time.

And they spent a considerable time there with the disciples.
