14:1And it happened at Iconium that they went together into the synagogue of the Jews, and spoke, so that a copious multitude of Jews and Greeks believed. 14:2But those Jews who were unbelieving roused and stirred up to anger the souls of the Gentiles against the brothers. 14:3For a long time, therefore, they stayed, acting confidently in the Lord, who bore witness to the word of his grace, granting signs and wonders to be done through their hands. 14:4And the multitude of the city was divided: and some indeed were with the Jews, but some with the Apostles. 14:5But when an onrush of Gentiles and Jews with their rulers had been made, to treat them with insults and to stone them, understanding this they fled for refuge to the cities of Lycaonia, Lystra and Derbe, and the whole region round about, and there they were preaching the Gospel.
14:7And a certain man at Lystra, weak in his feet, was sitting, lame from his mother's womb, who had never walked. 14:8This man heard Paul speaking. 14:8Who, gazing at him, and seeing that he had faith that he might be made whole, said with a great voice: "Stand up straight upon your feet." 14:9And he leapt up, and was walking. 14:10But the crowds, when they had seen what Paul had done, lifted up their voice in Lycaonian, saying: "Gods made like men have come down to us." 14:11And they were calling Barnabas Jupiter, but Paul Mercury: since he was the leader of the speaking. 14:12The priest of Jupiter also, who was before the city, bringing bulls and garlands before the gates, wished to sacrifice with the peoples.
14:13And when the Apostles, Barnabas and Paul, heard this, their tunics having been torn, they leapt out into the crowds, shouting and saying: "Men, why are you doing these things? 14:14We too are mortal, men like you, announcing to you that you should turn from these vain things to the living God, who made heaven, and earth, and sea, and all things that are in them: who in past generations allowed all the nations to walk in their own ways. 14:16And yet he did not leave himself without witness, doing good from heaven, giving rains and fruitful seasons, filling our hearts with food and gladness." 14:17And saying these things, they barely calmed the crowds from sacrificing to them.
14:18But there came upon them certain Jews from Antioch and Iconium: and, the crowds having been persuaded, and stoning Paul, they dragged him outside the city, thinking that he was dead. 14:19But the disciples standing round him, rising up he went into the city, and on the next day he set out with Barnabas to Derbe. 14:20And when they had preached the Gospel to that city, and had taught many, they returned to Lystra, and Iconium, and Antioch, strengthening the souls of the disciples, and exhorting them to remain in the faith: and that through many tribulations we must enter into the kingdom of God. 14:22And when they had appointed for them elders in each church, and had prayed with fastings, they commended them to the Lord, in whom they had believed.
14:23And passing through Pisidia, they came into Pamphylia, and speaking the word of the Lord in Perga, they went down into Attalia: and from there they sailed to Antioch, from where they had been handed over to the grace of God for the work which they had completed. 14:26And when they had come, and had gathered the church, they reported how great things God had done with them, and that he had opened to the Gentiles the door of faith. 14:27And they stayed no small time with the disciples.
