4But the townspeople were divided, some siding with the Jews, some with the apostles;
5and, when there was an attempt on the part of both Gentiles and Jews, with their leaders, to resort to violence and to stone them,
6the apostles heard of it, and took refuge in Lystra and Derbe, towns in Lycaonia, and in the district around,
7and there they continued to tell the good news.
8In 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.
9This man was listening to Paul speaking, when Paul, looking intently at him, and seeing that he had the faith to be healed,
10said loudly, “Stand upright on your feet.” The man leaped up, and began walking about,
11and the crowd, seeing what Paul had done, called out in the Lycaonian language, “The Gods have come down to us in human form.”
12So they called Barnabas ‘Zeus,’ and Paul ‘Hermes,’ because he took the lead in speaking;
13and the priest of Zeus-beyond-the-Walls, accompanied by the crowd, brought bullocks and garlands to the gates, with the intention of offering sacrifices.
