Acts 14:11-13
11When the crowds saw what Paul had done, they raised their voice, saying in the 1Lycaonian language, “2The gods have become like men and have come down to us.”
12And they began calling Barnabas, 3Zeus, and Paul, 4Hermes, because he was 5the chief speaker.
13The priest of Zeus, whose temple was 6just outside the city, brought oxen and garlands to the gates, and 7wanted to offer sacrifice with the crowds.
