Acts 14

American Standard Version

1And it cameG1096 to passG1096 in IconiumG2430 that they enteredG1525 together into the synagogueG4864 of the JewsG2453, and so spake that a greatG4183 multitudeG4128 both of JewsG2453 and of GreeksG1672 believedG4100. 2But the JewsG2453 that were disobedientG544 stirred up the soulsG5590 of the GentilesG1484, and made them evil affected against the brethren. 3Long timeG5550 thereforeG3767 they tarried there speakingG3955 boldlyG3955 in the LordG2962, who bare witnessG3140 unto the wordG3056 of his graceG5485, grantingG1325 signsG4592 and wondersG5059 to be done by their handsG5495. 4But the multitudeG4128 of the cityG4172 wasG1510 divided; and part held with the JewsG2453, and part with the apostlesG652. 5And whenG5613 there was made an onset both of the GentilesG1484 and of the JewsG2453 with their rulersG758, to treat them shamefully and to stone them, 6they became awareG4894 of it, and fled unto the citiesG4172 of Lycaonia, LystraG3082 and DerbeG1191, and the regionG4066 round about: 7and there they preached the gospel.

8And at LystraG3082 there satG2521 a certainG5100 manG435, impotent in his feetG4228, a cripple from his mother’sG3384 wombG2836, who neverG3763 had walkedG4043. 9The sameG846 heardG191 PaulG3972 speakingG2980: who, fastening his eyes upon him, and seeingG3708 that he had faithG4102 to be made whole, 10saidG3004 with a loudG3173 voiceG5456, StandG450 upright on thy feetG4228. And he leaped up and walkedG4043. 11And when the multitudeG3793 sawG3708 what PaulG3972 had done, they liftedG1869 up their voiceG5456, sayingG3004 in the speech of Lycaonia, The godsG2316 are comeG2597 down to us in the likeness of menG444. 12And they calledG2564 BarnabasG921, Jupiter; and PaulG3972, Mercury, because he wasG1510 the chief speaker. 13And the priestG2409 of Jupiter whose temple wasG1510 before the cityG4172, broughtG5342 oxenG5022 and garlands unto the gatesG4440, and wouldG2309 have done sacrificeG2380 with the multitudesG3793. 14But when the apostlesG652, BarnabasG921 and PaulG3972, heardG191 of it, they rent their garmentsG2440, and sprang forth among the multitudeG3793, cryingG2896 out 15and sayingG3004, Sirs, whyG5101 do ye these thingsG3778? We alsoG2532 areG1510 menG444 of like passions with you, and bring you good tidings, that ye should turnG1994 from these vain thingsG3778 unto a livingG2198 GodG2316, who madeG4160 the heavenG3772 and the earthG1093 and the seaG2281, and all that in them isG1510: 16who in the generationsG1074 goneG4198 by suffered all the nationsG1484 to walk in their own waysG3598. 17And yet he leftG863 not himself without witness, in that he did goodG14 and gaveG1325 you from heavenG3771 rainsG5205 and fruitful seasonsG2540, filling your heartsG2588 with foodG5160 and gladness. 18And with these sayings scarce restrained they the multitudesG3793 from doing sacrificeG2380 unto them.

19But there cameG1904 JewsG2453 thither from AntiochG490 and IconiumG2430: and having persuadedG3982 the multitudesG3793, they stonedG3034 PaulG3972, and dragged him out of the cityG4172, supposing that he was dead. 20But as the disciplesG3101 stoodG450 round about him, he roseG450 up, and enteredG1525 into the cityG4172: and on the morrow he wentG1831 forthG1831 with BarnabasG921 to DerbeG1191. 21And when they had preached the gospel to that cityG4172, and had made manyG2425 disciples, they returnedG5290 to LystraG3082, and to IconiumG2430, and to AntiochG490, 22confirming the soulsG5590 of the disciplesG3101, exhortingG3870 them to continueG1696 in the faithG4102, and that through manyG4183 tribulationsG2347 we must enterG1525 into the kingdomG932 of GodG2316. 23And when they had appointed for them eldersG4245 in every churchG1577, and had prayedG4336 with fasting, they commended them to the LordG2962, on whom they had believedG4100. 24And they passedG1330 through PisidiaG4099, and cameG2064 to PamphyliaG3828. 25And when they had spokenG2980 the wordG3056 in PergaG4011, they wentG2597 downG2597 to Attalia; 26and thence they sailedG636 to AntiochG490, from whence they had beenG1510 committed to the graceG5485 of GodG2316 for the workG2041 which they had fulfilled. 27And when they were comeG3854, and had gatheredG4863 the churchG1577 togetherG4863, they rehearsed all things that GodG2316 had done with them, and that he had openedG455 a doorG2374 of faithG4102 unto the GentilesG1484. 28And they tarried no littleG3641 timeG5550 with the disciplesG3101.
