Acts 14:1-12

¹And it came to pass in Iconium, that they entered together into the synagogue of the Jews, and so spoke that a very great multitude both of the Jews and of the Greeks did believe.

²But the unbelieving Jews stirred up and incensed the minds of the Gentiles against the brethren.

³A long time therefore they abode there, dealing confidently in the Lord, who gave testimony to the word of his grace, granting signs and wonders to be done by their hands.

⁴And the multitude of the city was divided; and some of them indeed held with the Jews, but some with the apostles.

⁵And when there was an assault made by the Gentiles and the Jews with their rulers, to use them contumeliously, and to stone them:

⁶They understanding it, fled to Lystra, and Derbe, cities of Lycaonia, and to the whole country round about, and were there preaching the gospel.

⁷And there sat a certain man at Lystra, impotent in his feet, a cripple from his mother’s womb, who never had walked.

⁸This same heard Paul speaking. Who looking upon him, and seeing that he had faith to be healed,

⁹Said with a loud voice: Stand upright on thy feet. And he leaped up, and walked.

¹⁰And when the multitudes had seen what Paul had done, they lifted up their voice in the Lycaonian tongue, saying: The gods are come down to us in the likeness of men;

¹¹And they called Barnabas, Jupiter: but Paul, Mercury; because he was chief speaker.

¹²The priest also of Jupiter that was before the city, bringing oxen and garlands before the gate, would have offered sacrifice with the people.
