6Having got news of it, they went in flight to the towns of Lycaonia, Lystra, and Derbe, and the country round about:
7And went on preaching the good news there.
8And 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.
9This man was giving ear to the preaching of Paul, who, looking at him, and seeing that he had faith to be made well,
10Said in a loud voice, Get up on your feet. And, jumping up, he went walking about.
11And 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.
12And they gave the name of Jupiter to Barnabas, and to Paul that of Mercury, because he was the chief talker.
13And the priest of the image of Jupiter, which was before the town, took oxen and flowers to the doors of the town, and was about to make an offering with the people.
14But when this came to the ears of the Apostles, Paul and Barnabas, they went running out among the people, parting their clothing, and crying out,
15Good people, why are you doing these things? We are men with the same feelings as you, and we give you the good news so that you may be turned away from these foolish things to the living God, who made the heaven and the earth and the sea and all things in them:
16Who in the past let all nations go in the ways which seemed good to them.
