14Acts 14

1And it came to pass in Iconium that they entered together into the synagogue of the Jews, and so spake that a great multitude both of Jews and of Greeks believed.Select Acts 14:1

2But the Jews that were disobedient stirred up the souls of the Gentiles, and made them evil affected against the brethren.Select Acts 14:2

3Long time therefore they tarried there speaking boldly in the Lord, who bare witness unto the word of his grace, granting signs and wonders to be done by their hands.Select Acts 14:3

4But the multitude of the city was divided; and part held with the Jews, and part with the apostles.Select Acts 14:4

5And when there was made an onset both of the Gentiles and of the Jews with their rulers, to treat them shamefully and to stone them,Select Acts 14:5

6they became aware of it, and fled unto the cities of Lycaonia, Lystra and Derbe, and the region round about:Select Acts 14:6

7and there they preached the gospel.Select Acts 14:7

8And at Lystra there sat a certain man, impotent in his feet, a cripple from his mother’s womb, who never had walked.Select Acts 14:8

9The same heard Paul speaking: who, fastening his eyes upon him, and seeing that he had faith to be made whole,Select Acts 14:9

10said with a loud voice, Stand upright on thy feet. And he leaped up and walked.Select Acts 14:10

11And when the multitude saw what Paul had done, they lifted up their voice, saying in the speech of Lycaonia, The gods are come down to us in the likeness of men.Select Acts 14:11

12And they called Barnabas, Jupiter; and Paul, Mercury, because he was the chief speaker.Select Acts 14:12

13And the priest of Jupiter whose temple was before the city, brought oxen and garlands unto the gates, and would have done sacrifice with the multitudes.Select Acts 14:13

14But when the apostles, Barnabas and Paul, heard of it, they rent their garments, and sprang forth among the multitude, crying outSelect Acts 14:14

15and saying, Sirs, why do ye these things? We also are men of like passions with you, and bring you good tidings, that ye should turn from these vain things unto a living God, who made the heaven and the earth and the sea, and all that in them is:Select Acts 14:15

16who in the generations gone by suffered all the nations to walk in their own ways.Select Acts 14:16

17And yet he left not himself without witness, in that he did good and gave you from heaven rains and fruitful seasons, filling your hearts with food and gladness.Select Acts 14:17

18And with these sayings scarce restrained they the multitudes from doing sacrifice unto them.Select Acts 14:18

19But there came Jews thither from Antioch and Iconium: and having persuaded the multitudes, they stoned Paul, and dragged him out of the city, supposing that he was dead.Select Acts 14:19

20But as the disciples stood round about him, he rose up, and entered into the city: and on the morrow he went forth with Barnabas to Derbe.Select Acts 14:20

21And when they had preached the gospel to that city, and had made many disciples, they returned to Lystra, and to Iconium, and to Antioch,Select Acts 14:21

22confirming the souls of the disciples, exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that through many tribulations we must enter into the kingdom of God.Select Acts 14:22

23And when they had appointed for them elders in every church, and had prayed with fasting, they commended them to the Lord, on whom they had believed.Select Acts 14:23

24And they passed through Pisidia, and came to Pamphylia.Select Acts 14:24

25And when they had spoken the word in Perga, they went down to Attalia;Select Acts 14:25

26and thence they sailed to Antioch, from whence they had been committed to the grace of God for the work which they had fulfilled.Select Acts 14:26

27And when they were come, and had gathered the church together, they rehearsed all things that God had done with them, and that he had opened a door of faith unto the Gentiles.Select Acts 14:27

28And they tarried no little time with the disciples.Select Acts 14:28
