44:013:051 But they shook off the dust of their feet against them, and
came unto Iconium.
44:013:052 And the disciples were filled with joy, and with the Holy
Ghost.
44:014:001 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.
44:014:002 But the unbelieving Jews stirred up the Gentiles, and made
their minds evil affected against the brethren.
44:014:003 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.
44:014:004 But the multitude of the city was divided: and part held with
the Jews, and part with the apostles.
44:014:005 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,
44:014:006 They were ware of it, and fled unto Lystra and Derbe, cities
of Lycaonia, and unto the region that lieth round about:
44:014:007 And there they preached the gospel.
44:014:008 And there sat a certain man at Lystra, impotent in his feet,
being a cripple from his mother's womb, who never had walked:
44:014:009 The same heard Paul speak: who stedfastly beholding him, and
perceiving that he had faith to be healed,
44:014:010 Said with a loud voice, Stand upright on thy feet. And he
leaped and walked.
44:014:011 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.
44:014:012 And they called Barnabas, Jupiter; and Paul, Mercurius,
because he was the chief speaker.
44:014:013 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.
44:014:014 Which when the apostles, Barnabas and Paul, heard of, they
rent their clothes, and ran in among the people, crying out,
44:014:015 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:
44:014:016 Who in times past suffered all nations to walk in their own
ways.
44:014:017 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.
44:014:018 And with these sayings scarce restrained they the people, that
they had not done sacrifice unto them.
