ACTS 14:15-26

¹⁵and saying, Sirs, why do ye these things? We also are men of like passions with you, and bring you good tidings, that ye should turn from these vain things unto the living God, who made the heaven and the earth and the sea, and all that in them is:

¹⁶who in the generations gone by suffered all the nations to walk in their own ways.

¹⁷And yet he left not himself without witness, in that he did good, and gave you from heaven rains and fruitful seasons, filling your hearts with food and gladness.

¹⁸And with these sayings scarce restrained they the multitudes from doing sacrifice unto them.

¹⁹But there came Jews thither from Antioch and Iconium: and having persuaded the multitudes, they stoned Paul, and dragged him out of the city, supposing that he was dead.

²⁰But as the disciples stood round about him, he rose up, and entered into the city: and on the morrow he went forth with Barnabas to Derbe.

²¹And when they had preached the gospel to that city, and had made many disciples, they returned to Lystra, and to Iconium, and to Antioch,

²²confirming the souls of the disciples, exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that through many tribulations we must enter into the kingdom of God.

²³And when they had appointed for them elders in every church, and had prayed with fasting, they commended them to the Lord, on whom they had believed.

²⁴And they passed through Pisidia, and came to Pamphylia.

²⁵And when they had spoken the word in Perga, they went down to Attalia;

²⁶and thence they sailed to Antioch, from whence they had been committed to the grace of God for the work which they had fulfilled.
