*
And there sat a certain man at Lystra ,
sick in his feet ,
being a cripple from his mother '
s womb ,
who never had walked :
*
The same heard Paul speak :
who steadfastly beholding him ,
and perceiving that he had faith to be healed ,
*
Said with a loud voice ,
Stand upright on your feet .
And he leaped and walked .
*
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 .
*
And they called Barnabas ,
Jupiter ;
and Paul ,
Mercurius ,
because he was the chief speaker .
*
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 .
*
Which when the apostles ,
Barnabas and Paul ,
heard of ,
they tear their clothes ,
and ran in among the people ,
crying out ,
*
And saying ,
Sirs ,
why do you these things ?
We also are men of like passions with you ,
and preach unto you that you should turn from these vanities unto the living God ,
which made heaven ,
and earth ,
and the sea ,
and all things that are in it :
*
Who in times past permitted all nations to walk in their own ways .
*
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 .
*
And with these sayings scarce restrained they the people ,
that they had not done sacrifice unto them .
*
And there came to there certain Jews from Antioch and Iconium ,
who persuaded the people ,
and having stoned Paul ,
drew him out of the city ,
supposing he had been dead .
*
Howbeit ,
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 .
*
And when they had preached the gospel to that city ,
and had taught many ,
they returned again to Lystra ,
and to Iconium ,
and Antioch ,
