Acts 14

Acceptance and Opposition

1

In  aIconiumg2430  bthey enteredg1525 the synagogueg4864 of the Jewsg2453 togetherg2596g3588g846, and spokeg2980 in suchg3779 a mannerg3779  cthat a largeg4183 numberg4128 of peopleg4128 believedg4100, bothg5037 of Jewsg2453 and of  dGreeksg1672.

2

But  athe Jewsg2453 who  1 bdisbelievedg544 stirredg1892 up the  2mindsg5590 of the Gentilesg1484 and embitteredg2559 them againstg2596  cthe brethreng80.

3

Thereforeg3767 they spentg1304 a longg2425 timeg5550 there  aspeakingg3955 boldlyg3955 with reliance upon the Lordg2962, who was testifyingg3140 to the wordg3056 of His graceg5485, grantingg1325 that  1 bsignsg4592 and wondersg5059 be doneg1096 by their handsg5495.

4

 aBut the  1peopleg4128 of the cityg4172 were dividedg4977; and someg3588g3303a  2sidedg1510 with  bthe Jewsg2453, and someg3588 with  cthe apostlesg652.

5

And wheng5613 an attemptg3730 was madeg1096 by bothg5037 the Gentilesg1484 and  athe Jewsg2453 with their rulersg758, to mistreatg5195 and to  bstoneg3036 them,

6

they became awareg4894 of it and fledg2703 to the citiesg4172 of  aLycaoniag3071,  bLystrag3082 and  cDerbeg1191, and the surroundingg4066 regiong4066;

7

and thereg2546 they continued to  apreachg2097 the gospelg2097.

8

At  aLystrag3082  ba mang435 was sittingg2521 whog3739 had nog102 strengthg102 in his feetg4228, lameg5560 from his mother'sg3384 wombg2836, whog3739 had neverg3763 walkedg4043.

9

Thisg3778 mang3778 was listeningg191 to Paulg3972 as he spokeg2980, whog3739,  awhen he had fixedg816 his gazeg816 on him and had seeng3708 that he hadg2192  bfaithg4102 to be  1madeg4982 wellg4982,

10

saidg3004 with a loudg3173 voiceg5456, "Standg450 uprightg3717 on your feetg4228."  aAnd he leapedg242 up and began to walkg4043.

11

When the crowdsg3793 sawg3708 whatg3739 Paulg3972 had doneg4160, they raisedg1869 their voiceg5456, sayingg3004 in the  aLycaoniang3072 languageg3072, " bThe godsg2316 have becomeg3666 likeg3666 meng444 and have comeg2597 downg2597 to us."

12

And they began callingg2564 Barnabasg921,  1Zeusg2203, and Paulg3972,  2Hermesg2060, becauseg1894 he was  3the chiefg2233 speakerg3056.

13

The priestg2409 of Zeusg2203, whose temple was  1justg4253 outsideg4253 the cityg4172, broughtg5342 oxeng5022 and garlandsg4725 to the gatesg4440, and  awantedg2309 to offerg2380 sacrificeg2380 with the crowdsg3793.

14

But when  athe apostlesg652 Barnabasg921 and Paulg3972 heardg191 of it, they  btoreg1284 their  1robesg2440 and rushedg1601a out into the crowdg3793, cryingg2896 out

15

and sayingg3004, "Meng435, whyg5101 are you doingg4160 theseg3778 thingsg3778? We are alsog2532  ameng444 of the sameg3663 natureg3663 as you, and  bpreachg2097 the gospelg2097 to you that you should turng1994 from theseg3778  1 cvaing3152 thingsg3152 to a  dlivingg2198 Godg2316,  eWHOg3739 MADEg4160 THE HEAVENg3772 AND THE EARTHg1093 AND THE SEAg2281 AND ALLg3956 THAT IS IN THEM.

16

1In the generationsg1074 goneg3944 by He  apermittedg1439 allg3956 the  2nationsg1484 to  bgog4198 their own waysg3598;

17

and yetg2543  aHe did not leaveg863 Himselfg848 withoutg267 witnessg267, in that He didg19a goodg19a and  bgaveg1325 you rainsg5205 from heaveng3771 and fruitfulg2593 seasonsg2540,  1satisfyingg1705a your heartsg2588 with foodg5160 and gladnessg2167."

18

Even sayingg3004 theseg3778 thingsg3778, with difficultyg3433 they restrainedg2664 the crowdsg3793 from offeringg2380 sacrificeg2380 to them.

19

But  aJewsg2453 cameg1904 from  bAntiochg490 and  cIconiumg2430, and having wong3982 overg3982 the crowdsg3793, they  dstonedg3034 Paulg3972 and draggedg4951 him out of the cityg4172, supposingg3543 him to be deadg2348.

20

But while  athe disciplesg3101 stoodg2944 aroundg2944 him, he gotg450 up and enteredg1525 the cityg4172. The nextg1887 dayg1887 he wentg1831 awayg1831 with Barnabasg921 to  bDerbeg1191.

21

After they had  apreachedg2097 the gospelg2097 to that cityg4172 and had  bmadeg3100 manyg2425 disciplesg3100, they returnedg5290 to  cLystrag3082 and to  dIconiumg2430 and to  eAntiochg490,

22

strengtheningg1991 the soulsg5590 of  athe disciplesg3101, encouragingg3870 them to continueg1696 in  bthe faithg4102, and saying,cThroughg1223 manyg4183 tribulationsg2347 we mustg1163 enterg1525 the kingdomg932 of Godg2316."

23

When  athey had appointedg5500  beldersg4245 for them in everyg2596 churchg1577, having  cprayedg4336 with fastingg3521, they  dcommendedg3908 them to the Lordg2962 in whomg3739 they had believedg4100.

24

They passedg1330 throughg1330  aPisidiag4099 and cameg2064 into  bPamphyliag3828.

25

When they had spokeng2980 the wordg3056 in  aPergag4011, they wentg2597 downg2597 to Attaliag825.

26

From thereg2547 they sailedg636 to  aAntiochg490, from  bwhichg3606 they had beeng1510  ccommendedg3860 to the graceg5485 of Godg2316 for the workg2041 that they had  1accomplishedg4137.

27

When they had arrivedg3854 and gatheredg4863 the churchg1577 togetherg4863, they began to  areportg312 allg3745 thingsg3745 that Godg2316 had doneg4160 with them and  1howg3754 He had openedg455 a  bdoorg2374 of faithg4102 to the Gentilesg1484.

28

And they spentg1304  1a longg3756g3641 timeg5550 with  athe disciplesg3101.
