Book 44 : ACTS - Chapter 014
014:001
But the unbelieving Jews stirred up the Gentiles, and made
their minds evil affected against the brethren
014:002
Long time therefore abode they speaking boldly in the Lord,
which gave testimony unto the word of his grace, and granted
signs and wonders to be done by their hands
014:003
But the multitude of the city was divided: and part held with
the Jews, and part with the apostles
014:004
And when there was an assault made both of the Gentiles, and
also of the Jews with their rulers, to use them despitefully,
and to stone them
014:005
They were ware of it, and fled unto Lystra and Derbe, cities
of Lycaonia, and unto the region that lieth round about
014:006
And there they preached the gospel
014:007
And there sat a certain man at Lystra, impotent in his feet,
being a cripple from his mother's womb, who never had walked
014:008
The same heard Paul speak: who stedfastly beholding him, and
perceiving that he had faith to be healed
014:009
Said with a loud voice, Stand upright on thy feet. And he
leaped and walked
014:010
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
014:011
And they called Barnabas, Jupiter; and Paul, Mercurius,
because he was the chief speaker
014:012
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
014:013
Which when the apostles, Barnabas and Paul, heard of, they
rent their clothes, and ran in among the people, crying out
014:014
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
014:015
Who in times past suffered all nations to walk in their own
ways
014:016
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
014:017
And with these sayings scarce restrained they the people, that
they had not done sacrifice unto them
014:018
And there came thither certain Jews from Antioch and Iconium,
who persuaded the people, and having stoned Paul, drew him out
of the city, supposing he had been dead
014:019
Howbeit, as the disciples stood round about him, he rose up,
and came into the city: and the next day he departed with
Barnabas to Derbe
014:020
And when they had preached the gospel to that city, and had
taught many, they returned again to Lystra, and to Iconium,
and Antioch
014:021
Confirming the souls of the disciples, and exhorting them to
continue in the faith, and that we must through much
tribulation enter into the kingdom of God
014:022
And when they had ordained them elders in every church, and
had prayed with fasting, they commended them to the Lord, on
whom they believed
014:023
And after they had passed throughout Pisidia, they came to
Pamphylia
014:024
And when they had preached the word in Perga, they went down
into Attalia
014:025
And thence sailed to Antioch, from whence they had been
recommended to the grace of God for the work which they
fulfilled
014:026
And when they were come, and had gathered the church together,
they rehearsed all that God had done with them, and how he had
opened the door of faith unto the Gentiles
014:027
And there they abode long time with the disciples
