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

But the unbelieving Jews stirred up and inflamed 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 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 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 were for the Jews, and some for 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,

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

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

7 and there they were proclaiming good news.

and there they preached the gospel.

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

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 earnestly 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 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 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,

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 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 clothes, and ran in among the people,

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;

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

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 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;'

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

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

And saying these things, they with difficulty restrained the people 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 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 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 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 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 preached the gospel to that city, and made many disciples, they returned to Lystra, and Iconium, and 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 telling them that through many afflictions we must 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 when they had appointed them elders in every church, praying and fasting, they recommended them to the Lord, in whom they had believed.

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

And passing through Pisidia, they came to Pamphylia.

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

And when they had preached the word at 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 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 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 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 abode there not a little time with the disciples.

And they spent a considerable time there with the disciples.
