12And they began callingG2564 BarnabasG921, 1ZeusG2203, and PaulG3972, 2HermesG2060, becauseG1894 he was 3the chiefG2233 speakerG3056. 13The priestG2409 of ZeusG2203, whose temple was 4justG4253 outsideG4253 the cityG4172, broughtG5342 oxenG5022 and garlandsG4725 to the gatesG4440, and 5wantedG2309 to offerG2380 sacrificeG2380 with the crowdsG3793. 14But when 6the apostlesG652 BarnabasG921 and PaulG3972 heardG191 of it, they 7toreG1284 their 8robesG2440 and rushedG1601 out into the crowdG3793, cryingG2896 out 15and sayingG3004, “MenG435, whyG5101 are you doingG4160 theseG3778 thingsG3778? We are alsoG2532 9menG444 of the sameG3663 natureG3663 as you, and 10preachG2097 the gospelG2097 to you that you should turnG1994 from theseG3778 1112vainG3152 thingsG3152 to a 13livingG2198 GodG2316, 14whoG3739 madeG4160 the heavenG3772 and the earthG1093 and the seaG2281 and allG3956 that is in them. 1615In the generationsG1074 goneG3944 by He 16permittedG1439 allG3956 the 17nationsG1484 to 18goG4198 their own waysG3598; 17and yetG2543 19He did not leaveG863 HimselfG848 withoutG267 witnessG267, in that He didG19 goodG19 and 20gaveG1325 you rainsG5205 from heavenG3771 and fruitfulG2593 seasonsG2540, 21satisfyingG1705 your heartsG2588 with foodG5160 and gladnessG2167.” 18Even sayingG3004 theseG3778 thingsG3778, with difficultyG3433 they restrainedG2664 the crowdsG3793 from offeringG2380 sacrificeG2380 to them.
