The Acts of the Apostles 14

14 And it happened that in Iconium they entered together into the synagogue of the Jews and spoke in such a way that a great multitude, both of Jews and of Greeks, believed. 2 But the disobeying Jews stirred up and embittered the souls of the Gentiles against the brothers. 3 But indeed they stayed there for a long time, speaking boldly for the Lord, who was testifying to the word of his grace by granting signs and wonders to happen by their hands. 4 But the multitude of the city was divided, and some indeed were with the Jews, but some with the apostles. 5 But when a plot happened of both the Gentiles and the Jews, with their rulers, to mistreat and stone them, 6 having become aware of it, they fled to the cities of Lycaonia, Lystra and Derbe, and the surrounding region, 7 and there they were proclaiming the gospel.

8 And in Lystra a certain man was sitting, powerless in his feet, lame from the womb of his mother, who had never walked. 9 He heard Paul speaking, who looked intently at him and saw that he had faith to be healed. 10 He said in a loud voice, “Stand upright on your feet,” and he jumped up and walked around. 11 And the crowds, seeing what Paul had done, raised their voice, saying in Lycaonian, “The gods, having been made like men, have come down to us.” 12 And they were calling Barnabas “Zeus,” and Paul “Hermes,” because he was the leader of the word. 13 And the priest of Zeus, being before the city, bringing oxen and wreaths to the gates, was wanting to sacrifice with the crowds. 14 But hearing this, the apostles Barnabas and Paul, tearing their clothing, rushed out into the crowd, crying out 15 and saying, “Men, why are you doing these things? We also are men, like-passioned to you. We are proclaiming the gospel to you to turn you from these useless things to the living God, who made the heaven and the earth and the sea and everything in them, 16 who in bygone generations allowed all the nations to go their own ways, 17 and yet he did not leave himself without witness: doing good, giving you rains from the sky and fruitful seasons, filling your hearts with food and gladness.” 18 And saying these things they barely restrained the crowds, so that they did not sacrifice to them.

19 But Jews from Antioch and Iconium came and, having persuaded the crowds and having stoned Paul, they were dragging him out of the city, thinking him to have died. 20 But as the disciples surrounded him, arising, he entered into the city, and the next day he went with Barnabas to Derbe. 21 And having proclaimed the gospel in that city and having made many disciples, they returned to Lystra and to Iconium and Antioch, 22 strengthening the souls of the disciples, encouraging them to continue in the faith, and saying, “It is necessary for us to enter into the kingdom of God through many afflictions.” 23 And having appointed elders for them by church, having prayed with fasting, they entrusted them to the Lord in whom they had believed. 24 And having passed through Pisidia, they came to Pamphylia. 25 And having spoken the word in Perga, they went down to Attalia. 26 And from there they sailed to Antioch, where they had been commended to the grace of God for the work which they had completed. 27 And having arrived and having gathered the church together, they were reporting how much God had done with them and that he had opened a door of faith for the Gentiles. 28 And they were staying for not a little time with the disciples.
