* And at Lystra there sat a certain man , lame in his feet , a cripple from his mother 's womb , who had never walked . * The same heard Paul speaking , who , fastening eyes on him , and seeing that he had faith to be made whole , * said with a loud voice , Stand upright on your feet . And he leaped up and walked . * And when the multitude saw what Paul had done , they lifted up their voice , saying in the speech of Lycaonia , The gods have come down to us in the likeness of men . * And they called Barnabas , Jupiter ; and Paul , Mercury , because he was the chief speaker . * And the priest of Jupiter whose [temple ] was before the city , brought oxen and garlands to the gates , and would have sacrificed with the multitudes . * But when the apostles , Barnabas and Paul , heard of it , they rent their garments , and sprang forth among the multitude , crying out * and saying , Sirs , why do you (note :){+}(:note ) do these things ? We also are men of like passions with you {+}, and bring you {+} good news , that you {+} should turn from these useless things to a living God , who made the heaven and the earth and the sea , and all that is in them : * who in the generations gone by allowed all the nations to walk in their own ways . * And yet he did not leave himself without witness , in that he did good and gave you (note :){+}(:note ) from heaven rains and fruitful seasons , filling your {+} hearts with food and gladness . * And with these sayings they scarcely restrained the multitudes from sacrificing to them . * But there came Jews there from Antioch and Iconium : and having persuaded the multitudes , they stoned Paul , and dragged him out of the city , supposing that he was dead . * But as the disciples stood around him , he rose up , and entered into the city : and on the next day he went forth with Barnabas to Derbe . * And when they had preached the good news to that city , and had made many disciples , they returned to Lystra , and to Iconium , and to Antioch ,
