The Bible, Douay-Rheims, Book 51: Acts: The Challoner Revision
Bible. Acts
14:4. And the multitude of the city was divided. And some of them indeed
held with the Jews, but some with the apostles.
14:5. And when there was an assault made by the Gentiles and the Jews
with their rulers, to use them contumeliously and to stone them:
14:6. They, understanding it, fled to Lystra and Derbe, cities of
Lycaonia, and to the whole country round about: and were there preaching
the gospel.
14:7. And there sat a certain man at Lystra, impotent in his feet, a
cripple from his mother's womb, who never had walked.
14:8. This same heard Paul speaking. Who looking upon him and seeing
that he had faith to be healed,
14:9. Said with a loud voice: Stand upright on thy feet. And he leaped
up and walked.
14:10. And when the multitudes had seen what Paul had done, they lifted
up their voice in the Lycaonian tongue, saying: The gods are come down
to us in the likeness of men.
14:11. And they called Barnabas, Jupiter: but Paul, Mercury: because he
was chief speaker.
14:12. The priest also of Jupiter that was before the city, bringing
oxen and garlands before the gate, would have offered sacrifice with the
people.
14:13. Which, when the apostles Barnabas and Paul had heard, rending
their clothes, they leaped out among the people, crying,
14:14. And saying: Ye men, why do ye these things? We also are mortals,
men like unto you, preaching to you to be converted from these vain
things to the living God, who made the heaven and the earth and the sea
and all things that are in them:
14:15. Who in times past, suffered all nations to walk in their own
ways.
14:16. Nevertheless he left not himself without testimony, doing good
from heaven, giving rains and fruitful Seasons, filling our hearts with
food and gladness.
14:17. And speaking these things, they scarce restrained the people from
sacrificing to them.
14:18. Now there came thither certain Jews from Antioch and Iconium:
and, persuading the multitude and stoning Paul, drew him out of the
city, thinking him to be dead.
14:19. But as the disciples stood round about him, he rose up and
entered into the city: and the next day he departed with Barnabas to
Derbe.
14:20. And when they had preached the gospel to that city and had taught
many, they returned again to Lystra and to Iconium and to Antioch:
14:21. Confirming the souls of the disciples and exhorting them to
continue in the faith: and that through many tribulations we must enter
into the kingdom of God.
14:22. And when they had ordained to them priests in every church and
had prayed with fasting, they commended them to the Lord, in whom they
believed.
14:23. And passing through Pisidia, they came into Pamphylia.
14:24. And having spoken the word of the Lord in Perge, they went down
into Attalia.
14:25. And thence they sailed to Antioch, from whence they had been
delivered to the grace of God, unto the work which they accomplished.
