| 14:1 | Now it happened in Iconium that they both went together to the synagogue of the Jews, and spoke in such a way that a large crowd both of the Jews and of the Greeks believed. |
| 14:2 | But the unbelieving Jews stirred up the Gentiles and poisoned their minds against the brethren. |
| 14:3 | Therefore they stayed there a long time, 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. |
| 14:4 | But the population of the city was divided: part sided with the Jews, and part with the apostles. |
| 14:5 | And when a violent attempt was made by both the Gentiles and Jews, with their rulers, to abuse them, and to stone them, |
| 14:6 | they were aware of it and fled to Lystra and Derbe, cities of Lycaonia, and to the surrounding region. |
| 14:7 | And they preached the gospel there. |
| 14:8 | And in Lystra a certain man without strength in his feet was sitting, being a cripple from his mother's womb, who had never walked. |
| 14:9 | This man heard Paul speaking, who observing him intently and seeing that he had faith to be healed, |
| 14:10 | said with a loud voice, "Stand up straight on your feet!" And he leaped and walked. |
| 14:11 | Now when the people saw what Paul had done, they raised their voices, saying in the Lycaonian language, "The gods have come down to us in the likeness of men!" |
| 14:12 | And Barnabas they called Jupiter, and Paul, Mercurius, because he was the chief speaker. |
| 14:13 | Then the priest of Jupiter, who was in front of their city, brought oxen and garlands to the gates, intending to do sacrifice with the people. |
| 14:14 | But when the apostles Barnabas and Paul heard this, they tore their clothes and ran in among the people, shouting out |
| 14:15 | and saying, "Men, why are you doing these things? We also are men with a similar nature to you, and preach to you that you should turn from these useless things to the living God, who made the heaven, the earth, the sea, and all things that are in them, |
| 14:16 | who in times past allowed all nations to walk in their own ways. |
| 14:17 | Nevertheless He did not leave Himself without witness, in that He did good, gave us rain from heaven and fruitful seasons, filling our hearts with food and gladness." |
| 14:18 | And with these sayings they could barely restrain the people from sacrificing to them. |
| 14:19 | Then certain Jews from Antioch and Iconium came there; who persuaded the people, and having stoned Paul, dragged him out of the city, supposing him to be dead. |
| 14:20 | However, when the disciples gathered around him, he rose up and went into the city. And the next day he departed with Barnabas to Derbe. |
| 14:21 | And when they had preached the gospel to that city and taught many, they returned to Lystra, Iconium, and Antioch, |
| 14:22 | strengthening the souls of the disciples, exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that through many tribulations we must enter the kingdom of God. |
| 14:23 | So when they had appointed elders in every church, and prayed with fasting, they commended them to the Lord in whom they had believed. |
| 14:24 | And after they had passed through Pisidia, they came to Pamphylia. |
| 14:25 | Now when they had preached the word in Perga, they went down into Attalia. |
| 14:26 | From there they sailed to Antioch, where they had been commended to the grace of God for the work which they had completed. |
| 14:27 | Now when they had come and gathered the church together, they reported all that God had done with them, and how He had opened the door of faith to the Gentiles. |
| 14:28 | So they stayed there a long time with the disciples. |
| 14:1 | And it came to passe in Iconium, that they went both together into the Synagogue of the Iewes, and so spake, that a great multitude both of the Iewes and of the Grecians beleeued. |
| 14:2 | And the vnbeleeuing Iewes stirred vp, and corrupted the mindes of the Gentiles against the brethren. |
| 14:3 | So therefore they abode there a long time, and spake boldly in the Lord, which gaue testimonie vnto the woord of his grace, and caused signes and woders to be done by their hands. |
| 14:4 | But the multitude of the city was deuided: and some were with the Iewes, and some with the Apostles. |
| 14:5 | And when there was an assault made both of the Gentiles, and of the Iewes with their rulers, to doe them violence, and to stone them, |
| 14:6 | They were ware of it, and fled vnto Lystra, and Derbe, cities of Lycaonia, and vnto the region round about, |
| 14:7 | And there preached the Gospel. |
| 14:8 | Nowe there sate a certaine man at Lystra, impotent in his feete, which was a creeple from his mothers wombe, who had neuer walked. |
| 14:9 | He heard Paul speake: who beholding him, and perceiuing that he had faith to be healed, |
| 14:10 | Said with a loude voyce, Stand vpright on thy feete. And he leaped vp, and walked. |
| 14:11 | Then when the people sawe what Paul had done, they lift vp their voyces, saying in ye speach of Lycaonia, Gods are come downe to vs in the likenesse of men. |
| 14:12 | And they called Barnabas, Iupiter: and Paul, Mercurius, because hee was the chiefe speaker. |
| 14:13 | Then Iupiters priest, which was before their citie, brought bulles with garlands vnto the gates, and would haue sacrificed with the people. |
| 14:14 | But when the Apostles, Barnabas and Paul heard it, they rent their clothes, and ran in among the people, crying, |
| 14:15 | And saying, O men, why doe yee these things? We are euen men subiect to the like passions that yee be, and preache vnto you, that yee shoulde turne from these vaine things vnto the liuing God, which made heauen and earth, and the sea, and all things that in them are: |
| 14:16 | Who in times past suffered all the Gentiles to walke in their owne waies. |
| 14:17 | Neuerthelesse, hee left not him selfe without witnes, in that hee did good and gaue vs raine from heauen, and fruitful seasons, filling our hearts with foode, and gladnesse. |
| 14:18 | And speaking these things, scarce appeased they the multitude, that they had not sacrificed vnto them. |
| 14:19 | Then there came certaine Iewes from Antiochia and Iconium, which when they had persuaded the people, stoned Paul, and drewe him out of the citie, supposing he had bene dead. |

| 14:21 | And after they had preached the glad tidings of the Gospel to that citie, and had taught many, they returned to Lystra, and to Iconium, and to Antiochia, |
| 14:22 | Confirming the disciples hearts, and exhorting them to continue in the faith, affirming that we must through many afflictions enter into the kingdome of God. |
| 14:23 | And when they had ordeined them Elders by election in euery Church, and prayed, and fasted, they commended them to the Lord in whome they beleeued. |
| 14:24 | Thus they went throughout Pisidia, and came to Pamphylia. |
| 14:25 | And when they had preached the woorde in Perga, they came downe to Attalia, |
| 14:26 | And thence sailed to Antiochia, from whence they had bene comended vnto the grace of God, to the woorke, which they had fulfilled. |
| 14:27 | And when they were come and had gathered the Church together, they rehearsed all the things that God had done by them, and howe he had opened the doore of faith vnto the Gentiles. |
| 14:28 | So there they abode a long time with the disciples. |
| 14:1 | And it fortuned in Iconium that they went both to gether into the synagoge of ye Iewes and so spake that a gret multitude both of ye Iewes and also of the Grekes beleved. |
