Acts 14:8-18

Acts 14:8-18

[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.
