Acts 14:13-19

¹³Then the priest of Zeus, whose temple was in front of their city, brought bulls and garlands to the gates, intending to make a sacrifice, along with the crowd.

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

¹⁵and saying: “Men, why are you doing these things? We also are men with the same nature as you, giving you good news, telling you to turn from these useless things to the living God, who made the heaven and the earth and the sea and all that is in them;

¹⁶who in the former generations allowed all the ethnic nations to walk in their own ways.

¹⁷Nevertheless He did not leave Himself without witness, doing good, giving you rain from heaven and fruitful seasons, filling our hearts with food and gladness.”

¹⁸Even saying these things, they barely stopped the crowd from sacrificing to them.

¹⁹Then Jews from Antioch and Iconium came, and having persuaded the crowd and having stoned Paul, they dragged him out of the city, supposing him to have died.
