Acts 14:5-19

5And whenG5613 an assault was making, both of [those of] the nationsG1484 and [the] JewsG2453 with their rulersG758, to use [them] ill and stone them,

6they, being awareG4894 of it, fled to the citiesG4172 of Lycaonia, LystraG3082 and DerbeG1191, and the surroundingG4066 country,

7and there they wereG1510 announcing the glad tidings.

8And a certainG5100 manG435 in LystraG3082, impotent in his feetG4228, satG2521, [being] lameG5560 from his mother's wombG2836, who had neverG3763 walkedG4043.

9This [manG3778] heardG191 PaulG3972 speakingG2980, who, fixing his eyes on him, and seeingG3708 that he had faithG4102 to be healed,

10saidG3004 with a loudG3173 voiceG5456, RiseG450 up straight upon thy feetG4228: and he sprang up and walkedG4043.

11But the crowdsG3793, who sawG3708 what PaulG3972 had done, liftedG1869 up their voicesG5456 in Lycaonian, sayingG3004, The 1godsG2316, having madeG4160 themselves like menG444, are comeG2597 down to us.

12And they calledG2564 BarnabasG921 Jupiter, and PaulG3972 Mercury, because he took the lead in speaking.

13And the priestG2409 of Jupiter who wasG1510 before the cityG4172, having broughtG5342 bullsG5022 and garlands to the gatesG4440, wouldG2309 have done sacrificeG2380 along with the crowdsG3793.

14But the apostlesG652 BarnabasG921 and PaulG3972, having heardG191 [it], rent their garmentsG2440, and rushed out to the crowdG3793, cryingG2896

15and sayingG3004, MenG444, whyG5101 do ye these thingsG3778? We alsoG2532 areG1510 menG444 of like passions with you, preaching to you to turnG1994 from these vanities to the livingG2198 2GodG2316, who madeG4160 the heavenG3772, and the earthG1093, and the seaG2281, and all thingsG3778 in them;

16who in the past generationsG1074 suffered all the nationsG1484 to goG4198 in their own waysG3598,

17though indeed he did not leaveG863 himself without witness, doing goodG14, and givingG1325 to you from heavenG3771 rainG5205 and fruitful seasonsG2540, filling your heartsG2588 with foodG5160 and gladness.

18And sayingG3004 these thingsG3778, they with difficultyG3433 kept the crowdsG3793 from sacrificing to them.

19But there cameG1904 JewsG2453 from AntiochG490 and IconiumG2430, and having persuadedG3982 the crowdsG3793 and stonedG3034 PaulG3972, drew him out of the cityG4172, supposing him to have died.
