Acts 14

14And it came to pass in ^aIconium, that they went both together ^binto the synagogue of the Jews, and so spake, that a great multitude both of the Jews and also of the Greeks believed. ²But ^cthe unbelieving Jews ^dstirred up the Gentiles, and made their minds evil affected against ^ethe brethren. ³Long time therefore abode they ^fspeaking boldly in the Lord, ^gwhich gave testimony unto ^hthe word of his grace, and granted ⁱsigns and wonders to be done by their hands. ^4*But the multitude of the city was divided: and ^jpart held with the Jews, and part with the ^kapostles. ⁵And when there was an assault made both of the Gentiles, and also of the Jews with their rulers, ^lto use them despitefully, and to stone them, ⁶They were ^mware of it, and ⁿfled unto ^oLystra and ^pDerbe, cities of ^qLycaonia, and unto the region that lieth round about: ⁷And there they preached the gospel.

⁸And there sat a certain man at ^oLystra, impotent in his feet, ^rbeing a cripple from his mother’s womb, who never had walked: ⁹The same heard Paul speak: who ^sstedfastly beholding him, and ^tperceiving that he had faith ^uto be healed, ¹⁰Said with a loud voice, Stand upright on thy feet. And he ^xleaped and walked. ¹¹And when the people saw what Paul had done, they ^ylifted up their voices, saying in the speech of ^qLycaonia, ^zThe gods are come down to us in the likeness of men. ¹²And they called Barnabas, Jupiter; and Paul, Mercurius, because he was the chief speaker. ¹³Then the priest of Jupiter, which was before their city, brought oxen and garlands unto ^athe gates, and ^bwould have done sacrifice with the people. ¹⁴Which when ^cthe apostles, Barnabas and Paul, heard of, ^dthey rent their clothes, and ^eran in among the people, crying out, ¹⁵And saying, Sirs, ^fwhy do ye these things? We also are men ^gof like passions with you, and preach unto you that ye should ^hturn from these ⁱvanities unto ^jthe living God, ^kwhich made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and all things that are therein: ¹⁶Who in times past ^lsuffered all nations ^mto walk in their own ways. ¹⁷ⁿNevertheless he left not himself without witness, in that he did good, and ^ogave us rain from heaven, and fruitful seasons, filling our hearts with ^pfood and ^qgladness. ¹⁸And with these sayings scarce restrained they the people, that they had not done sacrifice unto them.

¹⁹And ^rthere came thither certain Jews from ^sAntioch and ^tIconium, who persuaded the people, and, ^uhaving stoned Paul, drew him out of the city, supposing he had been dead. ²⁰Howbeit, as the disciples stood round about him, he rose up, and came into the city: and the next day he departed with Barnabas to ^xDerbe. ²¹And when they had preached the gospel to that city, and ^†had taught many, they returned again to ^yLystra, and to ^tIconium, and ^sAntioch, ^22zConfirming the souls of the disciples, and ^aexhorting them to continue in the faith, and that ^bwe must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God. ²³And when they had ^cordained them ^delders in every church, and had prayed with ^efasting, they ^fcommended them to the Lord, on whom they believed. ²⁴And after they had passed throughout ^gPisidia, they came to ^hPamphylia. ²⁵And when they had preached the word in ⁱPerga, they went down into Attalia: ²⁶And thence sailed to ^kAntioch, ^lfrom whence they had been ^mrecommended to ⁿthe grace of God for the work which they fulfilled. ²⁷And when they were come, and had gathered the church together, they ^orehearsed all that God had done with them, and how he had ^popened the door of faith unto the Gentiles. ²⁸And there they abode long time with the disciples.
