Acts 14:12-18

12Barnabas they called Zeus, and Paul, Hermes, because he was the chief speaker.

13The priest of Zeus, whose temple was just outside the town, brought bulls and wreaths to the gates because he intended, with the crowds, to offer sacrifice.

14The apostles Barnabas and Paul tore their robes when they heard this and rushed into the crowd, shouting,

15“People! Why are you doing these things? We are people also, just like you, and we are proclaiming good news to you, that you turn from these worthless things to the living God, who made the heaven, the earth, the sea, and everything in them.

16In past generations he allowed all the nations to go their own way,

17although he did not leave himself without a witness, since he did what is good by giving you rain from heaven and fruitful seasons and filling you with food and your hearts with joy.”

18Even though they said these things, they barely stopped the crowds from sacrificing to them.
