Acts 14:12-18

12And they called Barnabas Jupiter, and Paul Mercury, because he took the lead in speaking.

13And the priest of Jupiter who was before the city, having brought bulls and garlands to the gates, would have done sacrifice along with the crowds.

14But the apostles Barnabas and Paul, having heard [it], rent their garments, and rushed out to the crowd, crying

15and saying, Men, why do ye these things? We also are men of like passions with you, preaching to you to turn from these vanities to the living 1God, who made the heaven, and the earth, and the sea, and all things in them;

16who in the past generations suffered all the nations to go in their own ways,

17though indeed he did not leave himself without witness, doing good, and giving to you from heaven rain and fruitful seasons, filling your hearts with food and gladness.

18And saying these things, they with difficulty kept the crowds from sacrificing to them.
