Acts 14
14
Paul and Barnabas at Iconium
1And it came to pass in Ico´ni-um, 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. 2But the unbelieving Jews stirred up the Gentiles, and made their minds evil affected against the brethren. 3Long 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. 4But the multitude of the city was divided: and part held with the Jews, and part with the apostles. 5And 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, 6they were ware of it, and fled unto Lystra and Derbe, cities of Lyca-o´nia, and unto the region that lieth round about: 7and there they preached the gospel.
Paul Stoned at Lystra
8And there sat a certain man at Lystra, impotent in his feet, being a cripple from his mother's womb, who never had walked: 9the same heard Paul speak: who steadfastly beholding him, and perceiving that he had faith to be healed, 10said with a loud voice, Stand upright on thy feet. And he leaped and walked. 11And when the people saw what Paul had done, they lifted up their voices, saying in the speech of Lyca-o´nia, The gods are come down to us in the likeness of men. 12And they called Barnabas, Jupiter; and Paul, Mercu´ri-us, because he was the chief speaker. 13Then the priest of Jupiter, which was#14.13 which was or whose temple was. before their city, brought oxen and garlands unto the gates, and would have done sacrifice with the people. 14Which when the apostles, Barnabas and Paul, heard of, they rent their clothes, and ran in among the people, crying out, 15and 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: 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 thither certain Jews from An´ti-och and Ico´ni-um, who persuaded the people, and, having stoned Paul, drew him out of the city, supposing he had been dead. 20Howbeit, 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. 21And when they had preached the gospel to that city, and had taught many, they returned again to Lystra, and to Ico´ni-um, and An´ti-och, 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. 23And when they had ordained them elders in every church, and had prayed with fasting, they commended them to the Lord, on whom they believed.
The Return to Antioch in Syria
24And after they had passed throughout Pisid´i-a, they came to Pamphyl´i-a. 25And when they had preached the word in Perga, they went down into Attali´a: 26and thence sailed to An´ti-och, from whence they had been recommended to the grace of God for the work which they fulfilled. 27And 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. 28And there they abode long time with the disciples.

Ma`asei (Acts) 14
14
1And it came to be in Ikonion that they went together into the congregation of the Yehuḏim, and spoke in such a way that a great number of both Yehuḏim and Greeks believed.
2But the Yehuḏim who would not obey stirred up the nations and evilly influenced their beings against the brothers.
3So they remained a long time, speaking boldly in the Master, who was bearing witness to the word of His favour, giving signs and wonders to be done by their hands.
4And the crowd of the city was divided, and some sided with the Yehuḏim, and some with the emissaries.
5But when a move took place by both the nations and Yehuḏim, with their rulers, to mistreat and stone them,
6they became aware of it and fled to Lustra and Derbe, cities of Lukaonia, and the country round about.
7And they were bringing the Good News there.
8And in Lustra there was sitting a certain man, disabled in his feet, a cripple from his mother’s womb, who had never walked.
9This one heard Sha’ul speaking, who, looking intently at him and seeing that he had belief to be healed,
10said with a loud voice, “Stand upright on your feet!” And he sprang up and began to walk.
11And when the crowds saw what Sha’ul had done, they lifted up their voices, saying in Lukaonian, “The mighty ones have become like men and come down to us!”
12And they called Barnaḇa Zeus, and Sha’ul Hermes, since he was the chief speaker.
13And the priest of Zeus, being in front of their city, brought oxen and wreaths to the gates, and wished to offer with the crowds.
14And when the emissaries Barnaḇa and Sha’ul heard this, they tore their garments and ran in among the crowd, crying out
15and saying, “Men, why are you doing this? We also are men with the same nature as you, bringing to you the Good News: to turn from these worthless matters to the living Elohim, who made the heaven, and the earth, and the sea, and all that is in them,# Exo. 20:11; Psa. 146:6
16who in past generations allowed all the nations to walk in their own ways,#See Acts 17:30
17though, indeed, He did not leave Himself without witness, doing good – giving us rain from heaven and fruit-bearing seasons, filling our hearts with food and gladness.”#See Mat. 5:45
18Even with these words they still had difficulty in stopping the crowds from offering to them.
19But Yehuḏim arrived from Antioch and Ikonion, and having won over the crowds, they stoned Sha’ul, dragged him out of the city, thinking he was dead.
20But while the taught ones gathered around him, he rose up and went into the city. And on the next day he went away with Barnaḇa to Derbe.
21And having brought the Good News to that city, and having made many taught ones, they returned to Lustra, and Ikonion, and Antioch,
22strengthening the beings of the taught ones, encouraging them to continue in the belief, and that through many pressures we have to enter the reign of Elohim.
23And having appointed elders in every assembly, having prayed with fasting, they committed them to the Master in whom they had believed.
24And having passed through Pisidia, they came to Pamphulia.
25And having spoken the word in Perge, they went down to Attaleia,
26and from there they sailed to Antioch, where they had been committed to the favour of Elohim for the work which they had completed.
27And having arrived, and having gathered together the assembly, they related all that Elohim had done with them, and that He had opened the door of belief to the nations.
28And they remained there a long time with the taught ones.
