Acts 14:15-20

¹⁵“We are only people like yourselves, and we have come with the good news that you should turn away from these follies to a living God, who made the heavens, the earth, the sea, and everything that is in them.

¹⁶In bygone times he permitted all the nations to go their own ways.

¹⁷Yet he has not failed to give you, in the good he does, some revelation of himself — sending you from heaven rain and fruitful seasons, and gladdening your hearts with plenty and good cheer.”

¹⁸Even with this appeal they could hardly restrain the people from offering sacrifice to them.

¹⁹Presently, however, there came some Jews from Antioch, and Iconium who, after they had won over the people, stoned Paul, and dragged him out of the town, thinking him to be dead.

²⁰But, when the disciples had gathered around him, he got up and went back into the town; the next day he went with Barnabas to Derbe.
