| 6 | they learned of it and fled to Lystra and Derbe, cities of Lycao'nia, and to the surrounding country; |
| 7 | and there they preached the gospel. |
| 8 | Now at Lystra there was a man sitting, who could not use his feet; he was a cripple from birth, who had never walked. |
| 9 | He listened to Paul speaking; and Paul, looking intently at him and seeing that he had faith to be made well, |
| 10 | said in a loud voice, "Stand upright on your feet." And he sprang up and walked. |
| 11 | And when the crowds saw what Paul had done, they lifted up their voices, saying in Lycao'nian, "The gods have come down to us in the likeness of men!" |
| 12 | Barnabas they called Zeus, and Paul, because he was the chief speaker, they called Hermes. |
| 13 | And the priest of Zeus, whose temple was in front of the city, brought oxen and garlands to the gates and wanted to offer sacrifice with the people. |
| 14 | But when the apostles Barnabas and Paul heard of it, they tore their garments and rushed out among the multitude, crying, |
| 15 | "Men, why are you doing this? We also are men, of like nature with you, and bring you good news, that you should turn from these vain things to a living God who made the heaven and the earth and the sea and all that is in them. |
| 16 | In past generations he allowed all the nations to walk in their own ways; |
| 17 | yet he did not leave himself without witness, for he did good and gave you from heaven rains and fruitful seasons, satisfying your hearts with food and gladness." |
| 18 | With these words they scarcely restrained the people from offering sacrifice to them. |
| 19 | But Jews came there from Antioch and Ico'nium; and having persuaded the people, they stoned Paul and dragged him out of the city, supposing that he was dead. |
| 20 | But when the disciples gathered about him, he rose up and entered the city; and on the next day he went on with Barnabas to Derbe. |
