Acts 14:8-20

8And a certain man in Lystra, impotent in his feet, sat, [being] lame from his mother's womb, who had never walked.

9This [man] heard Paul speaking, who, fixing his eyes on him, and seeing that he had faith to be healed,

10said with a loud voice, Rise up straight upon thy feet: and he sprang up and walked.

11But the crowds, who saw what Paul had done, lifted up their voices in Lycaonian, saying, The 1gods, having made themselves like men, are come down to us.

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 2God, 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.

19But there came Jews from Antioch and Iconium, and having persuaded the crowds and stoned Paul, drew him out of the city, supposing him to have died.

20But while the disciples encircled him, he rose up and entered into the city. And on the morrow he went away with Barnabas to Derbe.
