- In Lystra there sat a man crippled in his feet, who was lame from birth and had never walked.
- He listened to Paul as he was speaking. Paul looked directly at him, saw that he had faith to be healed
- and called out, "Stand up on your feet!" At that, the man jumped up and began to walk.
- When the crowd saw what Paul had done, they shouted in the Lycaonian language, "The gods have come down to us in human form!"
- Barnabas they called Zeus, and Paul they called Hermes because he was the chief speaker.
|
- And there sat a certain man at Lystra, impotent in his feet, being a cripple from his mother's womb, who never had walked:
- The same heard Paul speak: who stedfastly beholding him, and perceiving that he had faith to be healed,
- Said with a loud voice, Stand upright on thy feet. And he leaped and walked.
- And when the people saw what Paul had done, they lifted up their voices, saying in the speech of Lycaonia, The gods are come down to us in the likeness of men.
- And they called Barnabas, Jupiter; and Paul, Mercurius, because he was the chief speaker.
|
- The priest of Zeus, whose temple was just outside the city, brought bulls and wreaths to the city gates because he and the crowd wanted to offer sacrifices to them.
- But when the apostles Barnabas and Paul heard of this, they tore their clothes and rushed out into the crowd, shouting:
- "Men, why are you doing this? We too are only men, human like you. We are bringing you good news, telling you to turn from these worthless things to the living God, who made heaven and earth and sea and everything in them.
- In the past, he let all nations go their own way.
- Yet he has not left himself without testimony: He has shown kindness by giving you rain from heaven and crops in their seasons; he provides you with plenty of food and fills your hearts with joy."
|
- Then the priest of Jupiter, which was before their city, brought oxen and garlands unto the gates, and would have done sacrifice with the people.
- Which when the apostles, Barnabas and Paul, heard of, they rent their clothes, and ran in among the people, crying out,
- And saying, Sirs, why do ye these things? We also are men of like passions with you, and preach unto you that ye should turn from these vanities unto the living God, which made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and all things that are therein:
- Who in times past suffered all nations to walk in their own ways.
- Nevertheless he left not himself without witness, in that he did good, and gave us rain from heaven, and fruitful seasons, filling our hearts with food and gladness.
|
- Even with these words, they had difficulty keeping the crowd from sacrificing to them.
|
- And with these sayings scarce restrained they the people, that they had not done sacrifice unto them.
