Acts 14

1 And it came to pass in Iconium, that they went both together into the synagogue of the Jews, and so spoke, that a great multitude both of the Jews and also of the Greeks believed.

Now it happened in Iconium that they went together into the synagogue of the Jews, and they spoke to such effect that a large number of both Jews and Greeks believed.

2 But the unbelieving Jews stirred up the Gentiles, and made their minds evil affected against the brethren.

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

3 A long time therefore they abode speaking boldly in the Lord, who gave testimony to the word of his grace, and granted signs and wonders to be done by their hands.

Even so they stayed there a considerable time, speaking boldly for the Lord, who was bearing witness to the word of His grace, giving signs and wonders to take place by their hands.

4 But the multitude of the city was divided: and part held with the Jews, and part with the apostles.

Well the population of the city became divided; some sided with the Jews, others with the apostles.

5 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,

But when a plot was hatched by both Gentiles and Jews, with their rulers, to mistreat and stone them,

6 Being aware of it, they fled to Lystra and Derbe, cities of Lycaonia, and to the surrounding region:

they became aware of it and escaped to the cities of Lycaonia—Lystra, Derbe and the surrounding area—

7 And there they preached the gospel.

where they continued to preach the Gospel.

8 And there sat a certain man at Lystra, impotent in his feet, being a cripple from his mother’s womb, who had never walked:

Well in Lystra a certain man with helpless feet was sitting (lame from his mother's womb, who had never walked).

9 The same heard Paul speak: who steadfastly beholding him, and perceiving that he had faith to be healed,

This man was listening to Paul speaking; who looking intently at him and seeing that he had faith to be healed,

10 Said with a loud voice, Stand upright on thy feet. And he leaped and walked.

said with a loud voice, “Stand up straight on your feet!” And the man jumped up and began to walk!

11 And when the people saw what Paul had done, they lifted up their voices, saying in the speech of Lycaonia, The gods have come down to us in the likeness of men.

Now when the crowd saw what Paul had done, they raised their voices, saying in Lycaonian, “The gods have come down to us in the likeness of men!”

12 And they called Barnabas, Jupiter; and Paul, Mercury, because he was the chief speaker.

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

13 Then the priest of Jupiter, who was before their city, brought oxen and garlands to the gates, and would have done sacrifice with the people.

Then the priest of Zeus, whose temple was in front of their city, brought bulls and garlands to the gates, intending to make a sacrifice, along with the crowd.

14 Which when the apostles, Barnabas and Paul, heard of, they tore their clothes, and ran in among the people, crying out,

But when the apostles, Barnabas and Paul, heard of it, they tore their clothes and rushed into the crowd, crying out

15 And saying, Sirs, why do ye these things? We also are men of like passions with you, and preach to you that ye should turn from these vanities to the living God, who made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and all things that are in them:

and saying: “Men, why are you doing these things? We also are men with the same nature as you, giving you good news, telling you to turn from these useless things to the living God, who made the heaven and the earth and the sea and all that is in them;

16 Who in times past allowed all nations to walk in their own ways.

who in the former generations allowed all the ethnic nations to walk in their own ways.

17 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.

Nevertheless He did not leave Himself without witness, doing good, giving you rain from heaven and fruitful seasons, filling our hearts with food and gladness.”

18 And with these sayings they scarce restrained the people, from doing sacrifice to them.

Even saying these things, they barely stopped the crowd from sacrificing to them.

19 And there came there certain Jews from Antioch and Iconium, who persuaded the people, and, having stoned Paul, drew him out of the city, supposing him to be dead.

Then Jews from Antioch and Iconium came, and having persuaded the crowd and having stoned Paul, they dragged him out of the city, supposing him to have died.

20 But, as the disciples stood around him, he rose, and came into the city: and the next day he departed with Barnabas to Derbe.

But as the disciples stood around him, he got up and entered the city. The next day he departed with Barnabas to Derbe.

21 And when they had preached the gospel to that city, and had taught many, they returned again to Lystra, and to Iconium, and to Antioch,

When they had evangelized that city and discipled a good number, they returned to Lystra and Iconium and Antioch,

22 Confirming the souls of the disciples, exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that we must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God.

strengthening the souls of the disciples, exhorting them to continue in the faith, and saying, “We must go through many hardships to enter the kingdom of God.”

23 And when they had ordained for them elders in every church, and had prayed with fasting, they commended them to the Lord, on whom they believed.

When they had appointed elders for them in every congregation, having prayed with fasting, they commended them to the Lord into whom they had believed.

24 And after they had passed throughout Pisidia, they came to Pamphylia.

After going through Pisidia, they came to Pamphilia.

25 And when they had preached the word in Perga, they went down into Attalia:

When they had declared the Word in Perga, they went down to Attalia.

26 And from there sailed to Antioch, where they had been commended from to the grace of God for the work which they fulfilled.

From there they sailed to Antioch, from where they had been commended to the grace of God for the work that they had completed.

27 And when they had come, and had gathered the church together, they reported all that God had done with them, and that he had opened the door of faith to the Gentiles.

So upon arriving and gathering the congregation, they reported all that God had done with them, and that He had opened the door of faith to the Gentiles.

28 And there they abode a long time with the disciples.

And they stayed there a long time with the disciples.
