Acts 14:6-23

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.

8In 5LystraG3082 6a 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 7lookedG816 at him intentlyG816 and sawG3708 that he hadG2192 8faithG4102 to be 9madeG4982 wellG4982, 10and he saidG3004 with a loudG3173 voiceG5456, “StandG450 uprightG3717 on your feetG4228!” 10And the man leapedG242 upG242 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, sinceG1894 he was 15the chiefG2233 speakerG3056. 13MoreoverG5037, the 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 about it, they 19toreG1284 their 20robesG2440 and rushedG1601 outG1601 into the crowdG3793, cryingG2896 outG2896 15and sayingG3004, “MenG435, whyG5101 are you doingG4160 theseG3778 thingsG3778? We are alsoG2532 21menG444, of the sameG3663 natureG3663 as you, 22preachingG2097 the gospelG2097 to you, to turnG1994 from theseG3778 2324uselessG3152 thingsG3152 to a 25livingG2198 GodG2316, who 26madeG4160 the heavenG3772 and the earthG1093 and the seaG2281, and everythingG3956 that is in them. 1627In pastG3944 generationsG1074 He 28permittedG1439 allG3956 the 29nationsG1484 to 30goG4198 their own waysG3598; 17yetG2543 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.” 18And even by sayingG3004 theseG3778 thingsG3778, only with difficultyG3433 did they restrainG2664 the crowdsG3793 from offeringG2380 sacrificesG2380 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, thinkingG3543 that he was deadG2348. 20But while 38the disciplesG3101 stoodG2944 aroundG2944 him, he gotG450 upG450 and enteredG1525 the cityG4172. The nextG1887 dayG1887 he leftG1831 with BarnabasG921 for 39DerbeG1191. 21And after they had 40preachedG2097 the gospelG2097 to that cityG4172 and had 41madeG3100 a goodG2425 numberG2425 of disciplesG3100, they returnedG5290 to 42LystraG3082, to 43IconiumG2430, and to 44AntiochG490, 22strengtheningG1991 the soulsG5590 of 45the disciplesG3101, encouragingG3870 them to continueG1696 in 46the faithG4102, and saying, “47It is throughG1223 manyG4183 tribulationsG2347 that we mustG1163 enterG1525 the kingdomG932 of GodG2316.” 23When 48they had appointedG5500 49eldersG4245 for them in everyG2596 churchG1577, having 50prayedG4336 with fastingG3521, they 51entrustedG3908 them to the LordG2962 in whomG3739 they had believedG4100.
