Acts 14:8-20

8In 1Lystra 2a 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 3looked at him intently and saw that he had 4faith to be 5made well, 10and he said with a loud voice, “Stand upright on your feet!” 6And the man leaped up and began to walk. 11When the crowds saw what Paul had done, they raised their voice, saying in the 7Lycaonian language, “8The gods have become like men and have come down to us!” 12And they began calling Barnabas, 9Zeus, and Paul, 10Hermes, since he was 11the chief speaker. 13Moreover, the priest of Zeus, whose temple was 12just outside the city, brought oxen and garlands to the gates, and 13wanted to offer sacrifice with the crowds. 14But when 14the apostles Barnabas and Paul heard about it, they 15tore their 16robes and rushed out into the crowd, crying out 15and saying, “Men, why are you doing these things? We are also 17men, of the same nature as you, 18preaching the gospel to you, to turn from these 1920useless things to a 21living God, who 22made the heaven and the earth and the sea, and everything that is in them. 1623In past generations He 24permitted all the 25nations to 26go their own ways; 17yet 27He did not leave Himself without witness, in that He did good and 28gave you rains from heaven and fruitful seasons, 29satisfying 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 30Jews came from 31Antioch and 32Iconium, and having won over the crowds, they 33stoned Paul and dragged him out of the city, thinking that he was dead. 20But while 34the disciples stood around him, he got up and entered the city. The next day he left with Barnabas for 35Derbe.
