Acts 14

1 It came to pass now in Iconium according to the same entering they into the synagogue of the Jews and speaking so that to believe of Jews both and Greeks a great number.

At Iconium, Paul and Barnabas went as usual into the Jewish synagogue, where they spoke so well that a great number of Jews and Greeks believed.

2 The however (disobeying *N+kO) Jews stirred up and they poisoned the minds of the Gentiles against the brothers.

But the unbelieving Jews stirred up the Gentiles and poisoned their minds against the brothers.

3 A long indeed therefore time they stayed speaking boldly about the Lord who is bearing witness (to *n) the word of the grace of Him, (and *k) granting signs and wonders to be done through the hands of them.

So Paul and Barnabas spent considerable time there, speaking boldly for the Lord, who affirmed the message of His grace by enabling them to perform signs and wonders.

4 Was divided now the multitude of the city, and some indeed were with the Jews, some however with the apostles.

The people of the city were divided. Some sided with the Jews, and others with the apostles.

5 When then there was a rush of the Gentiles both and Jews with the rulers of them to mistreat and to stone them,

But when the Gentiles and Jews, together with their rulers, set out to mistreat and stone them,

6 having become aware they fled to the cities of Lycaonia, Lystra and Derbe and the surrounding region,

they found out about it and fled to the Lycaonian cities of Lystra and Derbe and to the surrounding region,

7 and there and there evangelising they were continuing.

where they continued to preach the gospel.

8 And a certain man crippled in Lystra in the feet was sitting, lame from [the] womb of [the] mother of him (being *k) who never (walked. *N+kO)

In Lystra there sat a man crippled in his feet, who was lame from birth and had never walked.

9 This [man] (heard *N+kO) Paul speaking, who having looked intently at him and having seen that he has faith to be healed,

This man was listening to the words of Paul, who looked intently at him and saw that he had faith to be healed.

10 said in a loud voice; do stand on the feet of you (upright! *NK+o) And (he sprang up *N+kO) and was walking.

In a loud voice Paul called out, “Stand up on your feet!” And the man jumped up and began to walk.

11 (And *N+kO) the crowds having seen what did Paul lifted up the voice of them in Lycaonian saying; The gods having become like as men have come down to us;

When the crowds saw what Paul had done, they lifted up their voices in the Lycaonian language: “The gods have come down to us in human form!”

12 They were calling then (one *k) Barnabas Zeus, other Paul Hermes, because he himself was the leading speaker.

Barnabas they called Zeus, and Paul they called Hermes, because he was the chief speaker.

13 (And *N+kO) the priest of Zeus who is being just outside the city (of them *k) oxen and wreaths to the gates having brought with the crowds was desiring to sacrifice.

The priest of Zeus, whose temple was just outside the city, brought bulls and wreaths to the city gates, hoping to offer a sacrifice along with the crowds.

14 Having heard however the apostles Barnabas and Paul having torn the garments (of them *NK+o) (rushed out *N+kO) into the crowd crying out

But when the apostles Barnabas and Paul found out about this, they tore their clothes and rushed into the crowd, shouting,

15 and saying; Men, why these things do you? Also we ourselves of like nature are with you men, evangelising to you from these vanities to turn to God (who *k) is living, who made the heaven and the earth and the sea and all the [things] in them,

“Men, why are you doing this? We too are only men, human like you. We are bringing you good news that you should turn from these worthless things to the living God, who made heaven and earth and sea and everything in them.

16 who in the having past generations allowed all the nations to go in the ways of them;

In past generations, He let all nations go their own way.

17 (and yet and yet *N+kO) not without witness (Himself *N+kO) He has left (doing good, *N+kO) from heaven (to you *N+KO) rains giving and seasons fruitful, filling with food and gladness the hearts (of you. *N+KO)

Yet He has not left Himself without testimony to His goodness: He gives you rain from heaven and fruitful seasons, filling your hearts with food and gladness.”

18 And these things saying hardly they stopped the crowds not sacrificing to them.

Even with these words, Paul and Barnabas could hardly stop the crowds from sacrificing to them.

19 Came however from Antioch and Iconium Jews, and having persuaded the crowds and having stoned Paul they were dragging [him] outside the city (supposing *N+kO) him (to have died. *N+kO)

Then some Jews arrived from Antioch and Iconium and won over the crowds. They stoned Paul and dragged him outside the city, presuming he was dead.

20 When were sorrounding however the disciples him having risen up he entered into the city And on the next day he went away with Barnabas to Derbe.

But after the disciples had gathered around him, he got up and went back into the city. And the next day he left with Barnabas for Derbe.

21 Having evangelised then the city that and having discipled many they returned to Lystra and (to *no) Iconium and (to *no) Antioch;

They preached the gospel to that city and made many disciples. Then they returned to Lystra, Iconium, and Antioch,

22 strengthening the souls of the disciples, exhorting [them] to continue in the faith and that through many tribulations it behooves us to enter into the kingdom of God.

strengthening the souls of the disciples and encouraging them to continue in the faith. “We must endure many hardships to enter the kingdom of God,” they said.

23 Having chosen now for them in every church elders, having prayed with fasting they committed them to the Lord in whom they had believed.

Paul and Barnabas appointed elders for them in each church, praying and fasting as they entrusted them to the Lord, in whom they had believed.

24 And having passed through Pisidia they came to Pamphylia,

After passing through Pisidia, they came to Pamphylia.

25 and having spoken in Perga the word they went down to Attalia;

And when they had spoken the word in Perga, they went down to Attalia.

26 And from there And from there they sailed to Antioch, from where they had committed to the grace of God for the work that they had fulfilled.

From Attalia they sailed to Antioch, where they had been commended to the grace of God for the work they had just completed.

27 Having arrived now and having gathered together the church (they were declaring *N+kO) how much did God with them and that He had opened to the Gentiles a door of faith.

When they arrived, they gathered the church together and reported all that God had done through them, and how He had opened the door of faith to the Gentiles.

28 They were remaining then (there *k) time no little with the disciples.

And they spent a long time there with the disciples.
