Acts 14:1-21

Acts 14:1-21

[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  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  with  the Jews,  and  part with  the apostles.  [5] And  when  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  [8] And  there sat  a certain  man  at  Lystra,  impotent  in his feet,  a cripple  from  his  mother's  womb,  who  never  had walked:  [9] The same  heard  Paul  speak:  who  stedfastly beholding  him,  and  that  he had  faith  to be healed,  [10] Said  with a loud  voice,  Stand  upright  on  feet.  And  he leaped  and  walked.  [11] when the people  what  Paul  had done,  they lifted up  their  voices,  saying  in the speech of Lycaonia,  The gods  are come down  to  in the likeness  of men.  [12] And  they called  Barnabas,  Jupiter;  and  Paul,  Mercurius,  because  he  the chief  speaker.  [13] the priest  of Jupiter,  which  before  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  also  men  of like passions  and preach  that ye should turn  from  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] he left  not  without witness,  and gave  rain  from heaven,  and  fruitful  seasons,  filling  hearts  with food  and  gladness.  [18] And  sayings  scarce  restrained they  the people,  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,
