⁴ But the multitude of the city was divided; and part held with the Jews, and part with the apostles.

⁵ And when there was made an onset both of the Gentiles and of the Jews with their rulers, to treat them shamefully and to stone them,

⁶ they became aware of it, and fled unto the cities of Lycaonia, Lystra and Derbe, and the region round about:

⁷ and there they preached the gospel.

⁸ And at Lystra there sat a certain man, impotent in his feet, a cripple from his mother’s womb, who never had walked.

⁹ The same heard Paul speaking: who, fastening his eyes upon him, and seeing that he had faith to be made whole,

¹⁰ said with a loud voice, Stand upright on thy feet. And he leaped up and walked.

¹¹ And when the multitude saw what Paul had done, they lifted up their voice, saying in the speech of Lycaonia, The gods are come down to us in the likeness of men.

³ Long time therefore abode they speaking boldly in the Lord, which gave testimony unto the word of his grace, and granted signs and wonders to be done by their hands.

⁴ But the multitude of the city was divided: and part held with the Jews, and part with the apostles.

⁵ And when there was an assault made both of the Gentiles, and also of the Jews with their rulers, to use them despitefully, and to stone them,

⁶ They were ware of it, and fled unto Lystra and Derbe, cities of Lycaonia, and unto the region that lieth round about:

⁷ And there they preached the gospel.

⁸ And there sat a certain man at Lystra, impotent in his feet, being a cripple from his mother’s womb, who never had walked:

⁴ But the multitude of the city was divided; and part held with the Jews, and part with the apostles.

⁵ And when there was made an onset both of the Gentiles and of the Jews with their rulers, to entreat them shamefully, and to stone them,

⁶ they became aware of it, and fled unto the cities of Lycaonia, Lystra and Derbe, and the region round about:

⁷ and there they preached the gospel.

⁸ And at Lystra there sat a certain man, impotent in his feet, a cripple from his mother’s womb, who never had walked.

⁹ The same heard Paul speaking: who, fastening his eyes upon him, and seeing that he had faith to be made whole,

¹⁰ said with a loud voice, Stand upright on thy feet. And he leaped up and walked.

¹¹ And when the multitudes saw what Paul had done, they lifted up their voice, saying in the speech of Lycaonia, The gods are come down to us in the likeness of men.

³ So Paul and Barnabas spent considerable time there speaking boldly for the Lord, and the Lord Jesus enabled them to do many miracles. In this way he showed people that the message about how the Lord saves us in a way that we do not deserve is true.

⁴ The people who lived in Iconium city strongly disagreed with each other concerning the message about Jesus . Some of them agreed with the Jews SYN who did not believe that message . Others agreed with Paul and Barnabas.

⁵ Then the non-Jewish people and the Jewish leaders SYN who opposed those two talked among themselves about how they could mistreat them. Some of the important men in that city agreed to help them. Together, they decided that they would kill Paul and Barnabas by throwing stones at them.

⁶ But Paul and Barnabas heard about that, so they quickly went away to Lycaonia district. They went to Lystra and Derbe cities in that district and to the area surrounding those cities.

⁷ While they were in that area, they continually told people the message about the Lord Jesus.

⁸ Once while Paul was preaching to people in Lystra, a man was sitting there who was crippled in his legs. When his mother bore him he had crippled legs, so he was never able to walk.

⁹ He listened as Paul was speaking about the Lord Jesus. Paul looked directly at him and could see in the man's face that he believed that the Lord Jesus could make him well.

¹⁰ So Paul called out to him, “Stand up!” When the man heard that, he immediately jumped up and began to walk normally.

¹¹ When the crowd saw what Paul had done, they thought that Paul and Barnabas ◄ were/must be► the gods that they worshipped. So they shouted excitedly in their own Lycaonia language, “ Look! These people are the gods that we(inc) worship! They have made themselves look like people and have come down from the sky/heaven to help us!”

³ Therefore they stayed there a long time, speaking boldly in the Lord, who testified to the word of his grace, granting signs and wonders to be done by their hands.

⁴ But the multitude of the city was divided. Part sided with the Jews and part with the apostles.

⁵ When some of both the Gentiles and the Jews, with their rulers, made a violent attempt to mistreat and stone them,

⁶ they became aware of it and fled to the cities of Lycaonia, Lystra, Derbe, and the surrounding region.

⁷ There they preached the Good News.

⁸ At Lystra a certain man sat, impotent in his feet, a cripple from his mother’s womb, who never had walked.

⁹ He was listening to Paul speaking, who, fastening eyes on him and seeing that he had faith to be made whole,

¹⁰ said with a loud voice, “Stand upright on your feet!” He leaped up and walked.

¹¹ When the multitude saw what Paul had done, they lifted up their voice, saying in the language of Lycaonia, “The gods have come down to us in the likeness of men!”

⁸ At Lystra a certain man sat, impotent in his feet, a cripple from his mother’s womb, who never had walked.

⁹ He was listening to Paul speaking, who, fastening eyes on him and seeing that he had faith to be made whole,

¹⁰ said with a loud voice, “Stand upright on your feet!” He leapt up and walked.

¹¹ When the multitude saw what Paul had done, they lifted up their voice, saying in the language of Lycaonia, “The gods have come down to us in the likeness of men!”

³ So they kept there for a long time, taking heart in the Lord, who gave witness to the word of his grace by causing signs and wonders to be done by their hands.

⁴ But there was a division among the people of the town; some were on the side of the Jews and some on the side of the Apostles.

⁵ And when a violent attempt was made by the Gentiles and the Jews, with their rulers, to make an attack on them and have them stoned,

⁶ Having got news of it, they went in flight to the towns of Lycaonia, Lystra, and Derbe, and the country round about:

⁷ And went on preaching the good news there.

⁸ And at Lystra there was a certain man, who from birth had been without the use of his feet, never having had the power of walking.

⁹ This man was giving ear to the preaching of Paul, who, looking at him, and seeing that he had faith to be made well,

¹⁰ Said in a loud voice, Get up on your feet. And, jumping up, he went walking about.

¹¹ And when the people saw what Paul had done, they said in a loud voice, in the language of Lycaonia, The gods have come down to us in the form of men.

³ They stayed therefore a good while, speaking boldly, confiding in the Lord, who gave witness to the word of his grace, giving signs and wonders to be done by their hands.

⁴ And the multitude of the city was divided, and some were with the Jews and some with the apostles.

⁵ And when an assault was making, both of those of the nations and the Jews with their rulers, to use them ill and stone them,

⁶ they, being aware of it, fled to the cities of Lycaonia, Lystra and Derbe, and the surrounding country,

⁷ and there they were announcing the glad tidings.

⁸ And a certain man in Lystra, impotent in his feet, sat, being lame from his mother's womb, who had never walked.

⁹ This man heard Paul speaking, who, fixing his eyes on him, and seeing that he had faith to be healed,

¹⁰ said with a loud voice, Rise up straight upon thy feet: and he sprang up and walked.

¹¹ But the crowds, who saw what Paul had done, lifted up their voices in Lycaonian, saying, The gods, having made themselves like men, are come down to us.

³ A 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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

¹⁰ And 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;

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

³ Therefore they spent a considerable time there, speaking boldly in the Lord, who was bearing witness to the word of His grace, giving signs and wonders to take place by their hands.

⁴ And the multitude of the city was divided: and some were with the Jews, and others with the apostles.

⁵ And when an attempt was made by both the Gentiles and the Jews, together with their rulers, to mistreat and to stone them,

⁶ they became aware of it and fled to the cities of Lycaonia, Lystra and Derbe, and to the surrounding region.

⁷ And there, they were preaching the gospel.

⁸ And a certain man in Lystra, powerless in his feet, was sitting, lame from his mother's womb, who had never walked.

⁹ This man heard Paul speaking; who, gazing intently on him and seeing that he had faith to be healed,

¹⁰ said with a loud voice, “Stand up straight on your feet!” And he was jumping and walking about.

¹¹ And the crowds, seeing what Paul had done, raised their voice, saying in the Lycaonian language, “The gods have been made like men and have come down to us!”

³ Even so they stayed there a considerable time, speaking boldly for the Lord, who was bearing witness to the word of His grace, giving signs and wonders to take place by their hands.

⁴ Well the population of the city became divided; some sided with the Jews, others with the apostles.

⁵ But when a plot was hatched by both Gentiles and Jews, with their rulers, to mistreat and stone them,

⁶ they became aware of it and escaped to the cities of Lycaonia—Lystra, Derbe and the surrounding area—

⁷ where they continued to preach the Gospel.

⁸ Well in Lystra a certain man with helpless feet was sitting (lame from his mother's womb, who had never walked).

⁹ This man was listening to Paul speaking; who looking intently at him and seeing that he had faith to be healed,

¹⁰ said with a loud voice, “Stand up straight on your feet!” And the man jumped up and began to walk!

¹¹ Now when the crowd saw what Paul had done, they raised their voices, saying in Lycaonian, “The gods have come down to us in the likeness of men!”

³ Paul and Barnabas stayed there a long time, speaking to them boldly in the Lord, who confirmed their message of grace through the miraculous signs that they were enabled to perform.

⁴ The inhabitants of the town were divided, with some supporting the Jews and some the apostles.

⁵ But then the foreigners and the Jews, together with their leaders, decided to attack and stone Paul and Barnabas.

⁶ However, they found out about it and fled to the region of Lycaonia, to the towns of Lystra and Derbe,

⁷ where they continued to share the good news.

⁸ In the town of Lystra there was a disabled man who was lame in both feet. He had been crippled from birth and had never been able to walk.

⁹ He sat there listening to Paul speaking. When Paul looked directly at him, and realized that the man was trusting in God to heal him,

¹⁰ Paul said in a loud voice, “Stand up on your feet!” The man jumped to his feet and started walking.

¹¹ When the crowds saw what Paul had done, they shouted out in the language of Lycaonia, “The gods have come down to us looking like men!”

³ So therefore they abode there a long time, and spake boldly in the Lord, which gaue testimonie vnto the woord of his grace, and caused signes and woders to be done by their hands.

⁴ But the multitude of the city was deuided: and some were with the Iewes, and some with the Apostles.

⁵ And when there was an assault made both of the Gentiles, and of the Iewes with their rulers, to doe them violence, and to stone them,

⁶ They were ware of it, and fled vnto Lystra, and Derbe, cities of Lycaonia, and vnto the region round about,

⁷ And there preached the Gospel.

⁸ Nowe there sate a certaine man at Lystra, impotent in his feete, which was a creeple from his mothers wombe, who had neuer walked.

⁹ He heard Paul speake: who beholding him, and perceiuing that he had faith to be healed,

¹⁰ Said with a loude voyce, Stand vpright on thy feete. And he leaped vp, and walked.

¹¹ Then when the people sawe what Paul had done, they lift vp their voyces, saying in ye speach of Lycaonia, Gods are come downe to vs in the likenesse of men.

³ Long time therefore abode they speaking boldly in the Lord, which gave testimony unto the word of his grace, and granted signs and wonders to be done by their hands.

⁴ But the multitude of the city was divided: and part held with the Jews, and part with the apostles.

⁵ And when there was an assault made both of the Gentiles, and also of the Jews with their rulers, to use them despitefully, and to stone them,

⁶ they were ware of it, and fled unto Lystra and Derbe, cities of Lycaonia, and unto the region that lieth round about:

⁷ and there they preached the gospel.

⁸ And there sat a certain man at Lystra, impotent in his feet, being a cripple from his mother’s womb, who never had walked:

⁹ the same heard Paul speak: who stedfastly beholding him, and perceiving that he had faith to be healed,

¹⁰ said with a loud voice, Stand upright on thy feet. And he leaped and walked.

¹¹ And when the people saw what Paul had done, they lift up their voices, saying in the speech of Lycaonia, The gods are come down to us in the likeness of men.

³ They abode therefore a long time there, speaking boldly in reliance on the Lord, who gave testimony to the word of his grace, granting signs and wonders to be wrought by their a hands.

⁴ But the multitude of the city was divided; and some held with the Jews, and some with the apostles.

⁵ And when a movement was made both of the gentiles, and the Jews with their rulers, to abuse and stone them,

⁶ they became aware of it, and fled to the cities of Lycaonia, Lystra and Derbe, and the neighboring country;

⁷ and they were publishing the glad tidings there.

⁸ And at Lystra there sat a certain man who had not the use of his feet, a cripple from his birth, who never had walked.

⁹ This man heard Paul speaking; who looking steadily at him, and perceiving that he had faith to be healed,

¹⁰ said with a loud voice, Stand upright on thy feet. And he leaped up and walked.

¹¹ And the multitudes, seeing what Paul had done, lifted up their voices, saying, in the language of Lycaonia, The gods have come down to us in the likeness of men.

³ Therefore Paul and Barnabas spent a long time there, and spoke out fearlessly, relying on the Lord, who confirmed the message of his love by permitting signs and wonders to take place at their hands.

⁴ But the townspeople were divided, some siding with the Jews, some with the apostles;

⁵ and, when there was an attempt on the part of both Gentiles and Jews, with their leaders, to resort to violence and to stone them,

⁶ the apostles heard of it, and took refuge in Lystra and Derbe, towns in Lycaonia, and in the district around,

⁷ and there they continued to tell the good news.

⁸ In the streets of Lystra there used to sit a man who had no power in his feet; he had been lame from his birth, and had never walked.

⁹ This man was listening to Paul speaking, when Paul, looking intently at him, and seeing that he had the faith to be healed,

¹⁰ said loudly, “Stand upright on your feet.” The man leapt up, and began walking about,

¹¹ and the crowd, seeing what Paul had done, called out in the Lycaonian language, “The Gods have come down to us in human form.”

³ Therefore Paul and Barnabas spent a long time there, and spoke out fearlessly, relying on the Lord, who confirmed the message of his love by permitting signs and wonders to take place at their hands.

⁴ But the townspeople were divided, some siding with the Jews, some with the apostles;

⁵ and, when there was an attempt on the part of both Gentiles and Jews, with their leaders, to resort to violence and to stone them,

⁶ the apostles heard of it, and took refuge in Lystra and Derbe, towns in Lycaonia, and in the district around,

⁷ and there they continued to tell the good news.

⁹ This man was listening to Paul speaking, when Paul, looking intently at him, and seeing that he had the faith to be healed,

¹⁰ said loudly, “Stand upright on your feet.” The man leaped up, and began walking about,

¹¹ and the crowd, seeing what Paul had done, called out in the Lycaonian language, “The Gods have come down to us in human form.”

⁴ The people of Iconium split up into 2 mobs. One mob reckoned Paul and Barnabas were right and the other mob reckoned the Jews that didn’t believe in Jesus were right.

⁵ Then some of those people, and their leaders, talked with each other about hurting Paul and Barnabas and killing them with stones. Some of that mob were Jews, and some were not Jews.

⁶ But somebody told Paul and Barnabas what they wanted to do, so Paul and Barnabas ran away to the country called Lycaonia. They went to the towns called Lystra and Derbe, and to the country around those towns,

⁷ and they told people the good news about Jesus.

⁸ In Lystra there was a man that was born crippled. He never walked in his life.

⁹ He was sitting there listening to Paul talking to the people. Paul looked straight at him, and then Paul knew that this man believed that Jesus can make him better.

¹⁰ So Paul shouted at him, “Stand up on your feet.” And the man jumped up and started to walk around.

¹¹ A big mob of people saw Paul do that, and they yelled out in their own Lycaonian language, “The gods turned themselves into men and they came here to us.”

³ Longe tyme a bode they there and quyt them selves boldly with the helpe of the Lorde the which gave testimony vnto the worde of his grace and caused signes and wondres to be done by their hondes.

⁴ The people of the cyte were devided: and parte helde with the Iewes and parte with the Apostles.

¹¹ And when the people sawe what Paul had done they lifte vp their voyces sayinge in the speache of Lycaonia: Goddes are come doune to vs in the lyknes of men.

³ So they stayed there for a long time, speaking boldly with the Lord's power, while he gave evidence about the message of his grace. He did this by granting signs and wonders to be done by the hands of Paul and Barnabas.

⁴ But the majority of the city was divided: some people sided with the Jews, and some with the apostles.

⁴ But the multitude of the city was parted, and some were with the Jews, and some with the apostles.

⁵ But when there was made an assault of the heathen men and the Jews, with their princes, to torment, and to stone them,

⁶ they understood, and fled together to the cities of Lycaonia, and Lystra, and Derbe, and into all the country about.

⁷ And they preached there the gospel, and all the multitude was moved together in the teaching of them. Paul and Barnabas dwelt at Lystra.
