Acts 14:9-18

9ThisG3778 manG3778 was listeningG191 to PaulG3972 as he spokeG2980. Paul 1lookedG816 at him intentlyG816 and sawG3708 that he hadG2192 2faithG4102 to be 3madeG4982 wellG4982, 10and he saidG3004 with a loudG3173 voiceG5456, “StandG450 uprightG3717 on your feetG4228!” 4And the man leapedG242 upG242 and began to walkG4043. 11When the crowdsG3793 sawG3708 whatG3739 PaulG3972 had doneG4160, they raisedG1869 their voiceG5456, sayingG3004 in the 5LycaonianG3072 languageG3072, “6The godsG2316 have becomeG3666 likeG3666 menG444 and have comeG2597 downG2597 to us!” 12And they began callingG2564 BarnabasG921, 7ZeusG2203, and PaulG3972, 8HermesG2060, sinceG1894 he was 9the chiefG2233 speakerG3056. 13MoreoverG5037, the priestG2409 of ZeusG2203, whose temple was 10justG4253 outsideG4253 the cityG4172, broughtG5342 oxenG5022 and garlandsG4725 to the gatesG4440, and 11wantedG2309 to offerG2380 sacrificeG2380 with the crowdsG3793. 14But when 12the apostlesG652 BarnabasG921 and PaulG3972 heardG191 about it, they 13toreG1284 their 14robesG2440 and rushedG1601 outG1601 into the crowdG3793, cryingG2896 outG2896 15and sayingG3004, “MenG435, whyG5101 are you doingG4160 theseG3778 thingsG3778? We are alsoG2532 15menG444, of the sameG3663 natureG3663 as you, 16preachingG2097 the gospelG2097 to you, to turnG1994 from theseG3778 1718uselessG3152 thingsG3152 to a 19livingG2198 GodG2316, who 20madeG4160 the heavenG3772 and the earthG1093 and the seaG2281, and everythingG3956 that is in them. 1621In pastG3944 generationsG1074 He 22permittedG1439 allG3956 the 23nationsG1484 to 24goG4198 their own waysG3598; 17yetG2543 25He did not leaveG863 HimselfG848 withoutG267 witnessG267, in that He didG19 goodG19 and 26gaveG1325 you rainsG5205 from heavenG3771 and fruitfulG2593 seasonsG2540, 27satisfyingG1705 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.
