Acts 14
14
1And it came to pass in Iconium [little image], that they went both together into the synagogue of the Y’hudim (Judeans) [praised of Yah], and so spoke, that a great multitude both of the Y’hudim (Judeans) [praised of Yah] and also of the Greeks [unstable: miry ones] believed.
2But the unbelieving Y’hudim (Judeans) [praised of Yah] stirred up the Goyim [Gentiles], and made their minds evil affected against the brethren.
3Long time therefore abode they speaking boldly in the Lord - Kurios, which gave testimony unto the word of his grace, and granted signs and wonders to be done by their hands.
4But the multitude of the city was divided: and part held with the Y’hudim (Judeans) [praised of Yah], and part with the apostles.
5And when there was an assault made both of the Goyim [Gentiles], and also of the Y’hudim (Judeans) [praised of Yah] with their rulers, to use [them] despitefully, and to stone them,
6They were ware of [it], and fled unto Lystra [ransoming] and Derbe [tanner of skin], cities of Lycaonia [wolf-land], and unto the region that lies round about:
7And there they preached the Gospel (joyful message).
8And there sat a certain man at Lystra [ransoming], impotent (weak; without strength or power) in his feet, being a cripple from his mother’s womb, who never had walked:
9The same heard Sha’ul [desired] speak: who stedfastly beholding him, and perceiving that he had faith to be healed,
10Said with a loud voice, Stand upright on youri feet. And he leaped and walked.
11And when the people saw what Sha’ul [desired] had done, they lifted up their voices, saying in the speech of Lycaonia [wolf-land], The gods are come down to us in the likeness of men.
12And they called Bar-Nabba [son of rest], Jupiter; and Sha’ul [desired], Mercurius, because he was the chief speaker.
13Then 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 [Which] when the apostles, Bar-Nabba [son of rest] and Sha’ul [desired], heard [of], they rent their clothes, and ran in among the people, crying out,
15And saying, Sirs, why do you2f these things? We also are men of like passions with you, and preach unto you that you2f should turn from these vanities unto the living God-The Father, which made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and all things that are in it:
16Who in times past suffered all nations to walk in their own ways.
17Nevertheless 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.
18And with these sayings scarce restrained they the people, that they had not done sacrifice unto them.
19And there came there [certain] Y’hudim (Judeans) [praised of Yah] from Antioch [speedy as a chariot] and Iconium [little image], who persuaded the people, and, having stoned Sha’ul [desired], drew [him] out of the city, supposing he had been dead.
20However, as the disciples stood round about him, he rose up, and came into the city: and the next day he departed with Bar-Nabba [son of rest] to Derbe [tanner of skin].
21And when they had preached the Gospel (joyful message) to that city, and had taught many, they returned again to Lystra [ransoming], and [to] Iconium [little image], and Antioch [speedy as a chariot],
22Confirming 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-The Father.
23And when they had ordained them elders in every church, and had prayed with fasting, they commended them to the Lord - Kurios, on whom they believed.
24And after they had passed throughout Pisidia [pitchy], they came to Pamphylia [of every tribe].
25And when they had preached the word in Perga [earthy], they went down into Attalia:
26And there sailed to Antioch [speedy as a chariot], from what place they had been recommended to the grace of God-The Father for the work which they fulfilled.
27And when they were come, and had gathered the church together, they rehearsed all that God-The Father had done with them, and how he had opened the door of faith unto the Goyim [Gentiles].
28And there they abode long time with the disciples.
