9This man heard Paul speaking. Paul fixed his eyes on him and saw that he had faith to be made well.
10So he said to him in a loud voice, “Stand up on your feet.” Then the man jumped up and walked around.
11When the multitude saw what Paul had done, they raised their voice, saying in the dialect of Lycaonia, “The gods have come down to us in the form of men.”
12They called Barnabas “Zeus,” and Paul, “Hermes,” because he was the main speaker.
13The priest of Zeus, whose temple was just outside the city, brought oxen and wreaths to the gates; he and the multitudes wanted to offer sacrifice.
14But when the apostles, Barnabas and Paul, heard of it, they tore their clothing and quickly went out into the crowd, crying out
15and saying, “Men, why are you doing these things? We also are human beings with the same feelings as you. We bring you good news, that you should turn from these useless things to a living God, who made the heavens, the earth, and the sea and everything that is in them.
16In the past ages, he allowed all the nations to walk in their own ways.
17But still, he did not leave himself without witness, in that he did good and gave you the rains from heaven and fruitful seasons, filling your hearts with food and gladness.”
18Even with these words, Paul and Barnabas barely kept the multitudes from sacrificing to them.
19But some Jews from Antioch and Iconium came and persuaded the crowds. They stoned Paul and dragged him out of the city, thinking that he was dead.
20Yet as the disciples were standing around him, he got up and entered the city. The next day, he went to Derbe with Barnabas.
21After they had proclaimed the gospel in that city and made many disciples, they returned to Lystra, to Iconium, and to Antioch.
