* And a certain man was sitting in Lystra , without strength in the feet , being lame from his mother 's womb , who never had walked . * This one heard Paul speaking ; [and Paul ], looking intently at him , and seeing that he had faith to be healed , * said with a loud voice , Stand up on your feet ! And he leaped and walked . * And seeing what Paul did , the crowd lifted up their voice , saying in Lycaonian , The gods have come down to us , becoming like men . * And they called Barnabas Jupiter , and Paul Mercury , because he was the chief speaker . * And the priest of Jupiter , being before their city , brought oxen and garlands to the gates , wishing to sacrifice with the crowds . * But hearing [this ], the apostles Barnabas and Paul tore their clothes and ran in among the people , crying out * and saying , Men , why do you do these things ? We also are men of like passions with you , and preaching the gospel to you to turn [you ] from these vanities to the living God , who made the heaven and the earth and the sea , and all things in them ; * who in past generations allowed all nations to walk in their [own ] ways . * And yet He did not leave Himself without witness , doing good , giving rain and fruitful season to us from heaven , filling our hearts with food and gladness . * And saying these things , they scarcely stopped the people from sacrificing to them . * And Jews from Antioch and Iconium came there , who , having persuaded the people , and having stoned Paul , they drew [him ] out of the city , supposing him to have died . * But the disciples surrounding him , he rose up and came into the city . And the next day he departed with Barnabas to Derbe . * And preaching the gospel to that city , and having made many disciples , they returned to Lystra and Iconium and Antioch ,
