Acts 14:6-20

6they became aware of it and fled to the cities of 1Lycaonia, 2Lystra and 3Derbe, and the surrounding region; 7and there they continued to 4preach the gospel.

8In 5Lystra 6a man was sitting whose feet were incapacitated. He had been disabled from his mother’s womb, and had never walked. 9This man was listening to Paul as he spoke. Paul 7looked at him intently and saw that he had 8faith to be 9made well, 10and he said with a loud voice, “Stand upright on your feet!” 10And the man leaped up and began to walk. 11When the crowds saw what Paul had done, they raised their voice, saying in the 11Lycaonian language, “12The gods have become like men and have come down to us!” 12And they began calling Barnabas, 13Zeus, and Paul, 14Hermes, since he was 15the chief speaker. 13Moreover, the priest of Zeus, whose temple was 16just outside the city, brought oxen and garlands to the gates, and 17wanted to offer sacrifice with the crowds. 14But when 18the apostles Barnabas and Paul heard about it, they 19tore their 20robes and rushed out into the crowd, crying out 15and saying, “Men, why are you doing these things? We are also 21men, of the same nature as you, 22preaching the gospel to you, to turn from these 2324useless things to a 25living God, who 26made the heaven and the earth and the sea, and everything that is in them. 1627In past generations He 28permitted all the 29nations to 30go their own ways; 17yet 31He did not leave Himself without witness, in that He did good and 32gave you rains from heaven and fruitful seasons, 33satisfying your hearts with food and gladness.” 18And even by saying these things, only with difficulty did they restrain the crowds from offering sacrifices to them.

19But 34Jews came from 35Antioch and 36Iconium, and having won over the crowds, they 37stoned Paul and dragged him out of the city, thinking that he was dead. 20But while 38the disciples stood around him, he got up and entered the city. The next day he left with Barnabas for 39Derbe.
