Acts 14:3-19

³So 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.

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

⁵And 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,

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

⁷And there preached the Gospel.

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

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

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

¹¹Then 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.

¹²And they called Barnabas, Iupiter: and Paul, Mercurius, because hee was the chiefe speaker.

¹³Then Iupiters priest, which was before their citie, brought bulles with garlands vnto the gates, and would haue sacrificed with the people.

¹⁴But when the Apostles, Barnabas and Paul heard it, they rent their clothes, and ran in among the people, crying,

¹⁵And saying, O men, why doe yee these things? We are euen men subiect to the like passions that yee be, and preache vnto you, that yee shoulde turne from these vaine things vnto the liuing God, which made heauen and earth, and the sea, and all things that in them are:

¹⁶Who in times past suffered all the Gentiles to walke in their owne waies.

¹⁷Neuerthelesse, hee left not him selfe without witnes, in that hee did good and gaue vs raine from heauen, and fruitful seasons, filling our hearts with foode, and gladnesse.

¹⁸And speaking these things, scarce appeased they the multitude, that they had not sacrificed vnto them.

¹⁹Then there came certaine Iewes from Antiochia and Iconium, which when they had persuaded the people, stoned Paul, and drewe him out of the citie, supposing he had bene dead.
