Acts 14:6-19
6they became awareG4894 of it and fledG2703 to the citiesG4172 of 1LycaoniaG3071, 2LystraG3082 and 3DerbeG1191, and the surroundingG4066 regionG4066; 7and thereG2546 they continued to 4preachG2097 the gospelG2097.
8At 5LystraG3082 6a manG435 was sittingG2521 whoG3739 had noG102 strengthG102 in his feetG4228, lameG5560 from his mother’sG3384 wombG2836, whoG3739 had neverG3763 walkedG4043. 9ThisG3778 manG3778 was listeningG191 to PaulG3972 as he spokeG2980, whoG3739, 7when he had fixedG816 his gazeG816 on him and had seenG3708 that he hadG2192 8faithG4102 to be 9madeG4982 wellG4982, 10saidG3004 with a loudG3173 voiceG5456, “StandG450 uprightG3717 on your feetG4228.” 10And he leapedG242 up and began to walkG4043. 11When the crowdsG3793 sawG3708 whatG3739 PaulG3972 had doneG4160, they raisedG1869 their voiceG5456, sayingG3004 in the 11LycaonianG3072 languageG3072, “12The godsG2316 have becomeG3666 likeG3666 menG444 and have comeG2597 downG2597 to us.” 12And they began callingG2564 BarnabasG921, 13ZeusG2203, and PaulG3972, 14HermesG2060, becauseG1894 he was 15the chiefG2233 speakerG3056. 13The priestG2409 of ZeusG2203, whose temple was 16justG4253 outsideG4253 the cityG4172, broughtG5342 oxenG5022 and garlandsG4725 to the gatesG4440, and 17wantedG2309 to offerG2380 sacrificeG2380 with the crowdsG3793. 14But when 18the apostlesG652 BarnabasG921 and PaulG3972 heardG191 of it, they 19toreG1284 their 20robesG2440 and rushedG1601 out into the crowdG3793, cryingG2896 out 15and sayingG3004, “MenG435, whyG5101 are you doingG4160 theseG3778 thingsG3778? We are alsoG2532 21menG444 of the sameG3663 natureG3663 as you, and 22preachG2097 the gospelG2097 to you that you should turnG1994 from theseG3778 2324vainG3152 thingsG3152 to a 25livingG2198 GodG2316, 26whoG3739 madeG4160 the heavenG3772 and the earthG1093 and the seaG2281 and allG3956 that is in them. 1627In the generationsG1074 goneG3944 by He 28permittedG1439 allG3956 the 29nationsG1484 to 30goG4198 their own waysG3598; 17and yetG2543 31He did not leaveG863 HimselfG848 withoutG267 witnessG267, in that He didG19 goodG19 and 32gaveG1325 you rainsG5205 from heavenG3771 and fruitfulG2593 seasonsG2540, 33satisfyingG1705 your heartsG2588 with foodG5160 and gladnessG2167.” 18Even sayingG3004 theseG3778 thingsG3778, with difficultyG3433 they restrainedG2664 the crowdsG3793 from offeringG2380 sacrificeG2380 to them.
19But 34JewsG2453 cameG1904 from 35AntiochG490 and 36IconiumG2430, and having wonG3982 overG3982 the crowdsG3793, they 37stonedG3034 PaulG3972 and draggedG4951 him out of the cityG4172, supposingG3543 him to be deadG2348.
