Acts 14

1 And it came to pass in Iconium, that they did enter together into the synagogue of the Jews, and spake, so that there believed both of Jews and Greeks a great multitude;

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

2 and the unbelieving Jews did stir up and made evil the souls of the nations against the brethren;

But the Jews that disbelieved stirred up and embittered the minds of the gentiles against the brethren.

3 long time, indeed, therefore, did they abide speaking boldly in the Lord, who is testifying to the word of His grace, and granting signs and wonders to come to pass through their hands.

They abode therefore a long time there, speaking boldly in reliance on the Lord, who gave testimony to the word of his grace, granting signs and wonders to be wrought by their a hands.

4 And the multitude of the city was divided, and some were with the Jews, and some with the apostles,

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

5 and when there was a purpose both of the nations and of the Jews with their rulers to use [them] despitefully, and to stone them,

And when a movement was made both of the gentiles, and the Jews with their rulers, to abuse and stone them,

6 they having become aware, did flee to the cities of Lycaonia, Lystra, and Derbe, and to the region round about,

they became aware of it, and fled to the cities of Lycaonia, Lystra and Derbe, and the neighboring country;

7 and there they were proclaiming good news.

and they were publishing the glad tidings there.

8 And a certain man in Lystra, impotent in the feet, was sitting, being lame from the womb of his mother — who never had walked,

And at Lystra there sat a certain man who had not the use of his feet, a cripple from his birth, who never had walked.

9 this one was hearing Paul speaking, who, having stedfastly beheld him, and having seen that he hath faith to be saved,

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

10 said with a loud voice, 'Stand up on thy feet upright;' and he was springing and walking,

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

11 and the multitudes having seen what Paul did, did lift up their voice, in the speech of Lycaonia, saying, 'The gods, having become like men, did come down unto us;'

And the multitudes, seeing what Paul had done, lifted up their voices, saying, in the language of Lycaonia, The gods have come down to us in the likeness of men.

12 they were calling also Barnabas Zeus, and Paul Hermes, since he was the leader in speaking.

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

13 And the priest of the Zeus that is before their city, oxen and garlands unto the porches having brought, with the multitudes did wish to sacrifice,

Then the priest of Jupiter, that was in front of the city, brought oxen and garlands to the gates, and would have offered sacrifice with the multitudes.

14 and having heard, the apostles Barnabas and Paul, having rent their garments, did spring into the multitude, crying

But the apostles, Barnabas and Paul, when they heard of it, rent their garments, and rushed forth to the multitude, crying out

15 and saying, 'Men, why these things do ye? and we are men like-affected with you, proclaiming good news to you, from these vanities to turn unto the living God, who made the heaven, and the earth, and the sea, and all the things in them;

and saying, Men, why do ye these things? We also are men of like nature with you, bringing to you glad tidings, that ye may turn from these vanities to the living God, who made heaven and earth and sea, and all things that are therein;

16 who in the past generations did suffer all the nations to go on in their ways,

who in the ages past suffered all the nations to walk in their own ways;

17 though, indeed, without witness He did not leave himself, doing good — from heaven giving rains to us, and fruitful seasons, filling our hearts with food and gladness;'

although he left not himself without witness, in that he did good, giving you rain from heaven and fruitful seasons, filling your hearts with food and gladness.

18 and these things saying, scarcely did they restrain the multitudes from sacrificing to them.

And with these words, they hardly restrained the multitudes from sacrificing to them.

19 And there came thither, from Antioch and Iconium, Jews, and they having persuaded the multitudes, and having stoned Paul, drew him outside of the city, having supposed him to be dead;

But there came thither Jews from Antioch and Iconium; who, having persuaded the multitudes, and stoned Paul, dragged him out of the city, supposing him to be dead.

20 and the disciples having surrounded him, having risen he entered into the city, and on the morrow he went forth with Barnabas to Derbe.

But the disciples having gathered around him, he rose up, and came into the city. And the next day he departed with Barnabas to Derbe.

21 Having proclaimed good news also to that city, and having discipled many, they turned back to Lystra, and Iconium, and Antioch,

And when they had published the glad tidings to that city, and had made many disciples, they went back to Lystra, and to Iconium, and to Antioch;

22 confirming the souls of the disciples, exhorting to remain in the faith, and that through many tribulations it behoveth us to enter into the reign of God,

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

23 and having appointed to them by vote elders in every assembly, having prayed with fastings, they commended them to the Lord in whom they had believed.

And having appointed for them elders in every church, they prayed with fasting, and commended them to the Lord, in whom they believed.

24 And having passed through Pisidia, they came to Pamphylia,

And having gone through Pisidia, they came to Pamphylia;

25 and having spoken in Perga the word, they went down to Attalia,

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

26 and thence did sail to Antioch, whence they had been given by the grace of God for the work that they fulfilled;

and thence set sail for Antioch, whence they had been commended to the grace of God, for the work which they had accomplished.

27 and having come and gathered together the assembly, they declared as many things as God did with them, and that He did open to the nations a door of faith;

And when they had arrived and had gathered the church together, they related what great things God had wrought with them, and that he had opened a door of faith to the gentiles.

28 and they abode there not a little time with the disciples.

And they abode no little time with the disciples.
