14Acts 14

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

2and the unbelieving Jews did stir up and made evil the souls of the nations against the brethren;Select Acts 14:2

3long time, indeed, therefore, did they abide speaking boldly in the Lord, who is testifying to the word of His grace, and granting signs and wonders to come to pass through their hands.Select Acts 14:3

4And the multitude of the city was divided, and some were with the Jews, and some with the apostles,Select Acts 14:4

5and when there was a purpose both of the nations and of the Jews with their rulers to use them despitefully, and to stone them,Select Acts 14:5

6they having become aware, did flee to the cities of Lycaonia, Lystra, and Derbe, and to the region round about,Select Acts 14:6

7and there they were proclaiming good news.Select Acts 14:7

8And a certain man in Lystra, impotent in the feet, was sitting, being lame from the womb of his mother--who never had walked,Select Acts 14:8

9this one was hearing Paul speaking, who, having stedfastly beheld him, and having seen that he hath faith to be saved,Select Acts 14:9

10said with a loud voice, `Stand up on thy feet upright;' and he was springing and walking,Select Acts 14:10

11and the multitudes having seen what Paul did, did lift up their voice, in the speech of Lycaonia, saying, `The gods, having become like men, did come down unto us;'Select Acts 14:11

12they were calling also Barnabas Zeus, and Paul Hermes, since he was the leader in speaking.Select Acts 14:12

13And the priest of the Zeus that is before their city, oxen and garlands unto the porches having brought, with the multitudes did wish to sacrifice,Select Acts 14:13

14and having heard, the apostles Barnabas and Paul, having rent their garments, did spring into the multitude, cryingSelect Acts 14:14

15and saying, `Men, why these things do ye? and we are men like-affected with you, proclaiming good news to you, from these vanities to turn unto the living God, who made the heaven, and the earth, and the sea, and all the things in them;Select Acts 14:15

16who in the past generations did suffer all the nations to go on in their ways,Select Acts 14:16

17though, indeed, without witness He did not leave himself, doing good--from heaven giving rains to us, and fruitful seasons, filling our hearts with food and gladness;'Select Acts 14:17

18and these things saying, scarcely did they restrain the multitudes from sacrificing to them.Select Acts 14:18

19And there came thither, from Antioch and Iconium, Jews, and they having persuaded the multitudes, and having stoned Paul, drew him outside of the city, having supposed him to be dead;Select Acts 14:19

20and the disciples having surrounded him, having risen he entered into the city, and on the morrow he went forth with Barnabas to Derbe.Select Acts 14:20

21Having proclaimed good news also to that city, and having discipled many, they turned back to Lystra, and Iconium, and Antioch,Select Acts 14:21

22confirming the souls of the disciples, exhorting to remain in the faith, and that through many tribulations it behoveth us to enter into the reign of God,Select Acts 14:22

23and having appointed to them by vote elders in every assembly, having prayed with fastings, they commended them to the Lord in whom they had believed.Select Acts 14:23

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

25and having spoken in Perga the word, they went down to Attalia,Select Acts 14:25

26and thence did sail to Antioch, whence they had been given by the grace of God for the work that they fulfilled;Select Acts 14:26

27and having come and gathered together the assembly, they declared as many things as God did with them, and that He did open to the nations a door of faith;Select Acts 14:27

28and they abode there not a little time with the disciples.Select Acts 14:28
