Acts 14

1 Paul and Barnabas are persecuted from Iconium. 8 At Lystra Paul healeth a cripple, whereupon they are reputed as gods. 19 Paul is stoned. 21 They pass through divers churches, confirming the disciples in faith and patience. 26 Returning to Antioch, they report what God had done with them.

14:1 In Iconium 2430 they entered 1525 the synagogue 4864 of the Jews 2453 together 2596 3588 846, and spoke 2980 in such 3779 a manner 3779 that a large 4183 number 4128 of people 4128 believed 4100, both 5037 of Jews 2453 and of Greeks 1672.

14:2 But the Jews 2453 who disbelieved 544 stirred 1892 up the minds 5590 of the Gentiles 1484 and embittered 2559 them against 2596 the brethren 80.

14:3 Therefore 3767 they spent 1304 a long 2425 time 5550 [there] speaking 3955 boldly 3955 [with reliance] upon the Lord 2962, who was testifying 3140 to the word 3056 of His grace 5485, granting 1325 that signs 4592 and wonders 5059 be done 1096 by their hands 5495.

14:4 But the people 4128 of the city 4172 were divided 4977; and some 3588 3303a sided 1510 with the Jews 2453, and some 3588 with the apostles 652.

14:5 And when 5613 an attempt 3730 was made 1096 by both 5037 the Gentiles 1484 and the Jews 2453 with their rulers 758, to mistreat 5195 and to stone 3036 them,

14:6 they became aware 4894 of it and fled 2703 to the cities 4172 of Lycaonia 3071, Lystra 3082 and Derbe 1191, and the surrounding 4066 region 4066;

14:7 and there 2546 they continued to preach 2097 the gospel 2097.

14:8 ¶ At Lystra 3082 a man 435 was sitting 2521 who 3739 had no 102 strength 102 in his feet 4228, lame 5560 from his mother’s 3384 womb 2836, who 3739 had never 3763 walked 4043.

14:9 This 3778 man 3778 was listening 191 to Paul 3972 as he spoke 2980, who 3739, when he had fixed 816 his gaze 816 on him and had seen 3708 that he had 2192 faith 4102 to be made 4982 well 4982,

14:10 said 3004 with a loud 3173 voice 5456, “Stand 450 upright 3717 on your feet 4228.” And he leaped 242 up and [began] to walk 4043.

14:11 When the crowds 3793 saw 3708 what 3739 Paul 3972 had done 4160, they raised 1869 their voice 5456, saying 3004 in the Lycaonian 3072 language 3072, “The gods 2316 have become 3666 like 3666 men 444 and have come 2597 down 2597 to us.”

14:12 And they [began] calling 2564 Barnabas 921, Zeus 2203, and Paul 3972, Hermes 2060, because 1894 he was the chief 2233 speaker 3056.

14:13 The priest 2409 of Zeus 2203, whose [temple] was just 4253 outside 4253 the city 4172, brought 5342 oxen 5022 and garlands 4725 to the gates 4440, and wanted 2309 to offer 2380 sacrifice 2380 with the crowds 3793.

14:14 But when the apostles 652 Barnabas 921 and Paul 3972 heard 191 of it, they tore 1284 their robes 2440 and rushed 1601a out into the crowd 3793, crying 2896 out

14:15 and saying 3004, “Men 435, why 5101 are you doing 4160 these 3778 things 3778? We are also 2532 men 444 of the same 3663 nature 3663 as you, and preach 2097 the gospel 2097 to you that you should turn 1994 from these 3778 vain 3152 things 3152 to a living 2198 God 2316, WHO 3739 MADE 4160 THE HEAVEN 3772 AND THE EARTH 1093 AND THE SEA 2281 AND ALL 3956 THAT IS IN THEM.

14:16 “In the generations 1074 gone 3944 by He permitted 1439 all 3956 the nations 1484 to go 4198 their own ways 3598;

14:17 and yet 2543 He did not leave 863 Himself 848 without 267 witness 267, in that He did 19a good 19a and gave 1325 you rains 5205 from heaven 3771 and fruitful 2593 seasons 2540, satisfying 1705a your hearts 2588 with food 5160 and gladness 2167.”

14:18 [Even] saying 3004 these 3778 things 3778, with difficulty 3433 they restrained 2664 the crowds 3793 from offering 2380 sacrifice 2380 to them.

14:19 ¶ But Jews 2453 came 1904 from Antioch 490 and Iconium 2430, and having won 3982 over 3982 the crowds 3793, they stoned 3034 Paul 3972 and dragged 4951 him out of the city 4172, supposing 3543 him to be dead 2348.

14:20 But while the disciples 3101 stood 2944 around 2944 him, he got 450 up and entered 1525 the city 4172. The next 1887 day 1887 he went 1831 away 1831 with Barnabas 921 to Derbe 1191.

14:21 After they had preached 2097 the gospel 2097 to that city 4172 and had made 3100 many 2425 disciples 3100, they returned 5290 to Lystra 3082 and to Iconium 2430 and to Antioch 490,

14:22 strengthening 1991 the souls 5590 of the disciples 3101, encouraging 3870 them to continue 1696 in the faith 4102, and [saying], “Through 1223 many 4183 tribulations 2347 we must 1163 enter 1525 the kingdom 932 of God 2316.”

14:23 When they had appointed 5500 elders 4245 for them in every 2596 church 1577, having prayed 4336 with fasting 3521, they commended 3908 them to the Lord 2962 in whom 3739 they had believed 4100.

14:24 ¶ They passed 1330 through 1330 Pisidia 4099 and came 2064 into Pamphylia 3828.

14:25 When they had spoken 2980 the word 3056 in Perga 4011, they went 2597 down 2597 to Attalia 825.

14:26 From there 2547 they sailed 636 to Antioch 490, from which 3606 they had been 1510 commended 3860 to the grace 5485 of God 2316 for the work 2041 that they had accomplished 4137.

14:27 When they had arrived 3854 and gathered 4863 the church 1577 together 4863, they [began] to report 312 all 3745 things 3745 that God 2316 had done 4160 with them and how 3754 He had opened 455 a door 2374 of faith 4102 to the Gentiles 1484.
