Acts 14
1 And it came to pass in Iconium, that they went
both together into the synagogue of the Jews, and so
spake, that a great multitude both of the Jews and
also of the Greeks believed.
2 But the unbelieving Jews stirred up the Gentiles,
and made their minds evil affected against the
brethren.
3 Long time therefore abode they speaking boldly in
the Lord, which gave testimony unto the word of his
grace, and granted signs and wonders to be done by
their hands.
4 But the multitude of the city was divided: and
part held with the Jews, and part with the apostles.
5 And when there was an assault made both of the
Gentiles, and also of the Jews with their rulers, to
use them despitefully, and to stone them,
6 They were ware of it, and fled unto Lystra and
Derbe, cities of Lycaonia, and unto the region that
lieth round about:
7 And there they preached the gospel.
8 And there sat a certain man at Lystra, impotent in
his feet, being a cripple from his mother's womb, who
never had walked:
9 The same heard Paul speak: who stedfastly
beholding him, and perceiving that he had faith to be
healed,
10 Said with a loud voice, Stand upright on thy feet.
And he leaped and walked.
11 And when the people saw what Paul had done, they
lifted up their voices, saying in the speech of
Lycaonia, The gods are come down to us in the
likeness of men.
12 And they called Barnabas, Jupiter; and Paul,
Mercurius, because he was the chief speaker.
13 Then the priest of Jupiter, which was before their
city, brought oxen and garlands unto the gates, and
would have done sacrifice with the people.
14 Which when the apostles, Barnabas and Paul, heard
of, they rent their clothes, and ran in among the
people, crying out,
15 And saying, Sirs, why do ye these things? We also
are men of like passions with you, and preach unto
you that ye should turn from these vanities unto the
living God, which made heaven, and earth, and the
sea, and all things that are therein:
16 Who in times past suffered all nations to walk in
their own ways.
17 Nevertheless he left not himself without witness,
in that he did good, and gave us rain from heaven,
and fruitful seasons, filling our hearts with food
and gladness.
18 And with these sayings scarce restrained they the
people, that they had not done sacrifice unto them.
19 And there came thither certain Jews from Antioch
and Iconium, who persuaded the people, and, having
stoned Paul, drew him out of the city, supposing he
had been dead.
20 Howbeit, as the disciples stood round about him,
he rose up, and came into the city: and the next day
he departed with Barnabas to Derbe.
21 And when they had preached the gospel to that
city, and had taught many, they returned again to
Lystra, and to Iconium, and Antioch,
22 Confirming the souls of the disciples, and
exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that we
must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom
of God.
23 And when they had ordained them elders in every
church, and had prayed with fasting, they commended
them to the Lord, on whom they believed.
24 And after they had passed throughout Pisidia, they
came to Pamphylia.
25 And when they had preached the word in Perga, they
went down into Attalia:
26 And thence sailed to Antioch, from whence they had
been recommended to the grace of God for the work
which they fulfilled.
27 And when they were come, and had gathered the
church together, they rehearsed all that God had done
with them, and how he had opened the door of faith
unto the Gentiles.
28 And there they abode long time with the disciples.
