Acts 14:5-19
5And whenG5613 an attemptG3730 was madeG1096 by bothG5037 the GentilesG1484 and 1the JewsG2453 with their rulersG758, to treatG5195 them abusivelyG5195 and to 2stoneG3036 them, 6they became awareG4894 of it and fledG2703 to the citiesG4172 of 3LycaoniaG3071, 4LystraG3082 and 5DerbeG1191, and the surroundingG4066 regionG4066; 7and thereG2546 they continued to 6preachG2097 the gospelG2097.
8In 7LystraG3082 8a manG435 was sittingG2521 whose feetG4228 were incapacitatedG102. He had been disabledG5560 from his mother’sG3384 wombG2836, and had neverG3763 walkedG4043. 9ThisG3778 manG3778 was listeningG191 to PaulG3972 as he spokeG2980. Paul 9lookedG816 at him intentlyG816 and sawG3708 that he hadG2192 10faithG4102 to be 11madeG4982 wellG4982, 10and he saidG3004 with a loudG3173 voiceG5456, “StandG450 uprightG3717 on your feetG4228!” 12And the man leapedG242 upG242 and began to walkG4043. 11When the crowdsG3793 sawG3708 whatG3739 PaulG3972 had doneG4160, they raisedG1869 their voiceG5456, sayingG3004 in the 13LycaonianG3072 languageG3072, “14The godsG2316 have becomeG3666 likeG3666 menG444 and have comeG2597 downG2597 to us!” 12And they began callingG2564 BarnabasG921, 15ZeusG2203, and PaulG3972, 16HermesG2060, sinceG1894 he was 17the chiefG2233 speakerG3056. 13MoreoverG5037, the priestG2409 of ZeusG2203, whose temple was 18justG4253 outsideG4253 the cityG4172, broughtG5342 oxenG5022 and garlandsG4725 to the gatesG4440, and 19wantedG2309 to offerG2380 sacrificeG2380 with the crowdsG3793. 14But when 20the apostlesG652 BarnabasG921 and PaulG3972 heardG191 about it, they 21toreG1284 their 22robesG2440 and rushedG1601 outG1601 into the crowdG3793, cryingG2896 outG2896 15and sayingG3004, “MenG435, whyG5101 are you doingG4160 theseG3778 thingsG3778? We are alsoG2532 23menG444, of the sameG3663 natureG3663 as you, 24preachingG2097 the gospelG2097 to you, to turnG1994 from theseG3778 2526uselessG3152 thingsG3152 to a 27livingG2198 GodG2316, who 28madeG4160 the heavenG3772 and the earthG1093 and the seaG2281, and everythingG3956 that is in them. 1629In pastG3944 generationsG1074 He 30permittedG1439 allG3956 the 31nationsG1484 to 32goG4198 their own waysG3598; 17yetG2543 33He did not leaveG863 HimselfG848 withoutG267 witnessG267, in that He didG19 goodG19 and 34gaveG1325 you rainsG5205 from heavenG3771 and fruitfulG2593 seasonsG2540, 35satisfyingG1705 your heartsG2588 with foodG5160 and gladnessG2167.” 18And even by sayingG3004 theseG3778 thingsG3778, only with difficultyG3433 did they restrainG2664 the crowdsG3793 from offeringG2380 sacrificesG2380 to them.
19But 36JewsG2453 cameG1904 from 37AntiochG490 and 38IconiumG2430, and having wonG3982 overG3982 the crowdsG3793, they 39stonedG3034 PaulG3972 and draggedG4951 him out of the cityG4172, thinkingG3543 that he was deadG2348.
