Acts, Chapter 14
{14:1} It happened in Iconium that they entered together into the
synagogue of the Yehudim, and so spoke that a great multitude both of
Yehudim and of Yevanim believed. {14:2} But the disobedient Yehudim
stirred up and embittered the souls of the Goyim against the brothers.
{14:3} Therefore they stayed there a long time, speaking boldly in the
Lord, who testified to the word of his grace, granting signs and
wonders to be done by their hands. {14:4} But the multitude of the
city was divided. Part sided with the Yehudim, and part with the
apostles. {14:5} When some of both the Goyim and the Yehudim, with
their rulers, made a violent attempt to mistreat and stone them,
{14:6} they became aware of it, and fled to the cities of Lycaonia,
Lystra, Derbe, and the surrounding region. {14:7} There they preached
the Good News.
{14:8} At Lystra a certain man sat, impotent in his feet, a cripple
from his mother's womb, who never had walked. {14:9} He was listening
to Sha'ul speaking, who, fastening eyes on him, and seeing that he had
faith to be made whole, {14:10} said with a loud voice, "Stand upright
on your feet!" He leaped up and walked. {14:11} When the multitude saw
what Sha'ul had done, they lifted up their voice, saying in the
language of Lycaonia, "The gods have come down to us in the likeness
of men!" {14:12} They called Bar-Nabba "Jupiter," and Sha'ul
"Mercury," because he was the chief speaker. {14:13} The [1>]Kohen[<1]
of Jupiter, whose temple was in front of their city, brought oxen and
garlands to the gates, and would have made a sacrifice along with the
multitudes. {14:14} But when the apostles, Bar-Nabba and Sha'ul, heard
of it, they tore their clothes, and sprang into the multitude, crying
out, {14:15} "Men, why are you doing these things? We also are men of
like passions with you, and bring you good news, that you should turn
from these vain things to the living God, who made the sky and the
[2>]eretz[<2] and the sea, and all that is in them; {14:16} who in the
generations gone by allowed all the nations to walk in their own ways.
{14:17} Yet he didn't leave himself without witness, in that he did
good and gave you rains from the sky and fruitful seasons, filling our
hearts with food and gladness."
{14:18} Even saying these things, they hardly stopped the multitudes
from making a sacrifice to them. {14:19} But some Yehudim from Antioch
and Iconium came there, and having persuaded the multitudes, they
stoned Sha'ul, and dragged him out of the city, supposing that he was
dead.
{14:20} But as the [3>]talmidim[<3] stood around him, he rose up,
and entered into the city. On the next day he went out with Bar-Nabba
to Derbe. {14:21} When they had preached the Good News to that city,
and had made many [4>]talmidim[<4], they returned to Lystra, Iconium,
and Antioch, {14:22} confirming the souls of the [5>]talmidim[<5],
exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that through many
afflictions we must enter into the Kingdom of God. {14:23} When they
had appointed Zakenim for them in every assembly, and had prayed with
fasting, they commended them to the Lord, on whom they had believed.
{14:24} They passed through Pisidia, and came to Pamphylia. {14:25}
When they had spoken the word in Perga, they went down to Attalia.
{14:26} From there they sailed to Antioch, from where they had been
committed to the grace of God for the work which they had fulfilled.
{14:27} When they had arrived, and had gathered the assembly together,
they reported all the things that God had done with them, and that he
had opened a door of faith to the Goyim. {14:28} They stayed there
with the [6>]talmidim[<6] for a long time.
