³Longe 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.

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

⁵When ther was a saute made both of the gentyls and also of the Iewes with their rulers to put them to shame and to stone them

⁶they were ware of it and fled vnto Listra and Derba cities of Licaonia and vnto the region that lyeth round aboute

⁷And there preached the gospell.

⁸And ther sate a certayne man at Listra weake in his fete beinge creple from his mothers wombe and never walkyd.

⁹The same hearde Paul preache. Which behelde him and perceaved that he had fayth to be whole

¹⁰and sayd with a loude voyce: stond vp right on thy fete. And he stert vp and walked.

¹¹And 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.

¹²And they called Barnabas Iupiter and Paul Mercurius because he was the preacher.

¹³Then Iupiters Preste which dwelt before their cite brought oxe and garlondes vnto the churche porche and wolde have done sacrifise with the people.

¹⁴But when the Apostles Barnabas and Paul herde that they rent their clothes and ran in amonge the people cryinge

¹⁵and sayinge: syrs why do ye this? We are mortall men lyke vnto you and preache vnto you that ye shuld turne from these vanyties vnto the lyvinge God which made heaven and erth and the see and all that in them is:

¹⁶the which in tymes past suffred all nacions to walke in their awne wayes.

¹⁷Neverthelesse he lefte not him selfe with outen witnes in that he shewed his benefites in gevinge vs rayne from heaven and frutefull ceasons fyllinge oure hertes with fode and gladnes.

¹⁸And with these sayinges scase refrayned they the people that they had not done sacrifice vnto them.

¹⁹Thither came certayne Iewes from Antioche and Iconium and optayned the peoples consent and stoned Paul and drewe him oute of the cyte supposynge he had bene deed.

²⁰How be it as the disciples stode rounde about him he arose vp and cam into the cyte. And the nexte daye he departed with Barnabas to Derba.
