Deeds (Act) of Apostles 14:4-16

⁴But the multitude of the city was parted, and some were with the Jews, and some with the apostles.

⁵But when there was made an assault of the heathen men and the Jews, with their princes, to torment, and to stone them,

⁶they understood, and fled together to the cities of Lycaonia, and Lystra, and Derbe, and into all the country about.

⁷And they preached there the gospel, and all the multitude was moved together in the teaching of them. Paul and Barnabas dwelt at Lystra.

⁸And a man at Lystra was sick in the feet, and had sat crooked from his mother’s womb, which never had gone.

⁹This heard Paul speaking; and Paul beheld him and saw that he had faith, that he should be made safe,

¹⁰and said with a great voice, Rise thou upright on thy feet. And he leaped, and walked.

¹¹And the people, when they had seen that that Paul did, reared their voice in Lycaonian tongue, and said, Gods made like to men be come down to us.

¹²And they called Barnabas, Jupiter, and Paul, Mercury, for he was leader of the word.

¹³And the priest of Jupiter that was before the city, brought bulls and crowns before the gates, with peoples, and would have made sacrifice.

¹⁴And when the apostles Barnabas and Paul heard this, they rent their coats; and they skipped out among the people, and cried,

¹⁵and said, Men, what do ye this thing? and we be deadly men like you, and show to you, that ye be converted from these vain things to the living God, that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and all things that be in them;

¹⁶which in generations passed suffered all folks to go into their own ways.
