Deeds (Act) of Apostles 14:9-18

⁹This (man) heard Paul speaking; and Paul beheld him and saw that he had faith, that he should be made safe, (He listened as Paul spoke; and Paul looked at him, and saw that he had firm faith, so that he could be saved,)

¹⁰and said with a great voice, Rise thou upright on thy feet. And he leaped (up), 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 (the) leader of the word.

¹³And the priest of Jupiter that was before the city (or And the priest of Jupiter, whose temple was just outside the city), brought bulls and crowns (or garlands) before the gates, with (the) peoples, and would have made (a) sacrifice (there).

¹⁴And when the apostles Barnabas and Paul heard this, they rent their coats (or they tore 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 (these tidings) 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; (and said, Men, why do ye this? for we be mortal men just like you, and we tell these tidings to you, so that ye be converted from these futile and useless things to the living God, who made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and all the things that be in them;)

¹⁶which in generations passed suffered all folks to go into their own ways. (who in generations passed allowed all the peoples to go their own ways.)

¹⁷And yet he left not himself without witnessing in well-doing, for he gave rains from heaven, and times of bearing fruit, and full-filled your hearts with meat, and gladness. (And yet he did not leave himself without testimony or evidence of his good deeds, for he gave rain from the heavens, and times of bearing fruit, and filled you full with food, and your hearts with gladness.)

¹⁸And they saying these things, scarcely assuaged the people, (so) that they offered not to them.
