Acts - Chapter: 14


14:1	And it came to pass in Iconium, that they went both together into the synagogue of the Jews, and so spake, that a great multitude both of the Jews and also of the Greeks believed.
14:2	But the unbelieving Jews stirred up the Gentiles, and made their minds evil affected against the brethren.
14:3	Long time therefore abode they speaking boldly in the Lord, which gave testimony unto the word of his grace, and granted signs and wonders to be done by their hands.
14:4	But the multitude of the city was divided: and part held with the Jews, and part with the apostles.
14:5	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,
14:6	They were ware of it, and fled unto Lystra and Derbe, cities of Lycaonia, and unto the region that lieth round about:
14:7	And there they preached the gospel.
14:8	And there sat a certain man at Lystra, impotent in his feet, being a cripple from his mother's womb, who never had walked:
14:9	The same heard Paul speak: who stedfastly beholding him, and perceiving that he had faith to be healed,
14:10	Said with a loud voice, Stand upright on thy feet. And he leaped and walked.
14:11	And when the people saw what Paul had done, they lifted up their voices, saying in the speech of Lycaonia, The gods are come down to us in the likeness of men.
14:12	And they called Barnabas, Jupiter; and Paul, Mercurius, because he was the chief speaker.
14:13	Then the priest of Jupiter, which was before their city, brought oxen and garlands unto the gates, and would have done sacrifice with the people.
14:14	Which when the apostles, Barnabas and Paul, heard of, they rent their clothes, and ran in among the people, crying out,
14:15	And saying, Sirs, why do ye these things? We also are men of like passions with you, and preach unto you that ye should turn from these vanities unto the living God, which made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and all things that are therein:
14:16	Who in times past suffered all nations to walk in their own ways.
14:17	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.
14:18	And with these sayings scarce restrained they the people, that they had not done sacrifice unto them.
14:19	And there came thither certain Jews from Antioch and Iconium, who persuaded the people, and, having stoned Paul, drew him out of the city, supposing he had been dead.
14:20	Howbeit, as the disciples stood round about him, he rose up, and came 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 had taught many, they returned again to Lystra, and to Iconium, and Antioch,
14:22	Confirming the souls of the disciples, and exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that we must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God.
14:23	And when they had ordained them elders in every church, and had prayed with fasting, they commended them to the Lord, on whom they believed.
14:24	And after they had passed throughout Pisidia, they came to Pamphylia.
14:25	And when they had preached the word in Perga, they went down into Attalia:
14:26	And thence sailed to Antioch, from whence they had been recommended to the grace of God for the work which they fulfilled.
14:27	And when they were come, and had gathered the church together, they rehearsed all that God had done with them, and how he had opened the door of faith unto the Gentiles.
14:28	And there they abode 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.
14:20	Howbeit, as the disciples stoode rounde about him, hee arose vp, and came into the citie, and the next day hee departed with Barnabas to Derbe.
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.
14:2	But the unbelevinge Iewes steryd vp and vnquyeted the myndes of the Gentyls agaynste the brethre.
14:3	Longe tyme a bode they there and quyt them selves boldly with the helpe of the Lorde the which gave testimony vnto ye worde of his grace and caused signes and wondres to be done by their hondes.
14:4	The people of the cyte were devided: and parte helde with the Iewes and parte with the Apostles.
14:5	When ther was a saute made both of the gentyls and also of the Iewes with their rulers to put them to shame and to stone
14:6	the they were ware of it and fled vnto Listra and Derba cities of Licaonia and vnto the region that lyeth round aboute
14:7	and there preached the gospell.
14:8	And ther sate a certayne man at Listra weake in his fete beinge creple from his mothers wombe and never walkyd.
14:9	The same hearde Paul preache. Which behelde him and perceaved that he had fayth to be whole
14:10	and sayd with a loude voyce: stond vp right on thy fete. And he stert vp and walked.
14:11	And when the people sawe what Paul had done they lifte vp their voyces sayinge in the speache of Lycaonia: Goddes are come doune to vs in the lyknes of men.
14:12	And they called Barnabas Iupiter and Paul Mercurius because he was the preacher.
