Acts 14:15-28
15and sayingG3004, “MenG435, whyG5101 are you doingG4160 theseG3778 thingsG3778? We are alsoG2532 1menG444 of the sameG3663 natureG3663 as you, and 2preachG2097 the gospelG2097 to you that you should turnG1994 from theseG3778 34vainG3152 thingsG3152 to a 5livingG2198 GodG2316, 6whoG3739 madeG4160 the heavenG3772 and the earthG1093 and the seaG2281 and allG3956 that is in them. 167In the generationsG1074 goneG3944 by He 8permittedG1439 allG3956 the 9nationsG1484 to 10goG4198 their own waysG3598; 17and yetG2543 11He did not leaveG863 HimselfG848 withoutG267 witnessG267, in that He didG19 goodG19 and 12gaveG1325 you rainsG5205 from heavenG3771 and fruitfulG2593 seasonsG2540, 13satisfyingG1705 your heartsG2588 with foodG5160 and gladnessG2167.” 18Even sayingG3004 theseG3778 thingsG3778, with difficultyG3433 they restrainedG2664 the crowdsG3793 from offeringG2380 sacrificeG2380 to them.
19But 14JewsG2453 cameG1904 from 15AntiochG490 and 16IconiumG2430, and having wonG3982 overG3982 the crowdsG3793, they 17stonedG3034 PaulG3972 and draggedG4951 him out of the cityG4172, supposingG3543 him to be deadG2348. 20But while 18the disciplesG3101 stoodG2944 aroundG2944 him, he gotG450 up and enteredG1525 the cityG4172. The nextG1887 dayG1887 he wentG1831 awayG1831 with BarnabasG921 to 19DerbeG1191. 21After they had 20preachedG2097 the gospelG2097 to that cityG4172 and had 21madeG3100 manyG2425 disciplesG3100, they returnedG5290 to 22LystraG3082 and to 23IconiumG2430 and to 24AntiochG490, 22strengtheningG1991 the soulsG5590 of 25the disciplesG3101, encouragingG3870 them to continueG1696 in 26the faithG4102, and saying, “27ThroughG1223 manyG4183 tribulationsG2347 we mustG1163 enterG1525 the kingdomG932 of GodG2316.” 23When 28they had appointedG5500 29eldersG4245 for them in everyG2596 churchG1577, having 30prayedG4336 with fastingG3521, they 31commendedG3908 them to the LordG2962 in whomG3739 they had believedG4100.
24They passedG1330 throughG1330 32PisidiaG4099 and cameG2064 into 33PamphyliaG3828. 25When they had spokenG2980 the wordG3056 in 34PergaG4011, they wentG2597 downG2597 to AttaliaG825. 26From thereG2547 they sailedG636 to 35AntiochG490, from 36whichG3606 they had beenG1510 37commendedG3860 to the graceG5485 of GodG2316 for the workG2041 that they had 38accomplishedG4137. 27When they had arrivedG3854 and gatheredG4863 the churchG1577 togetherG4863, they began to 39reportG312 allG3745 thingsG3745 that GodG2316 had doneG4160 with them and 40howG3754 He had openedG455 a 41doorG2374 of faithG4102 to the GentilesG1484. 28And they spentG1304 42a longG3756G3641 timeG5550 with 43the disciplesG3101.
