Acts 14:11-18

¹¹and 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;'

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

¹³And 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,

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

¹⁵and 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;

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

¹⁷though, 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;'

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