Acts 14:8-18

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.
