Paul and Barnabas at Lystra
Act 14:8 In Lystra there was a man sitting who could not use his feet and had never walked, for he had been crippled from birth.
Act 14:9 He listened to Paul as he was speaking. And Paul, looking at him intently and seeing that he had faith to be healed,
Act 14:10 said in a loud voice, "Stand upright on your feet." And the man sprang up and began to walk.
Act 14:11 When the crowds saw what Paul had done, they shouted in the Lycaonian language, "The gods have come down to us in human form!"
Act 14:12 Barnabas they called Zeus, and Paul they called Hermes, because he was the chief speaker.
Act 14:13 The priest of Zeus, whose temple was just outside the city, brought oxen and garlands to the gates; he and the crowds wanted to offer sacrifice.
Act 14:14 When the apostles Barnabas and Paul heard of it, they tore their clothes and rushed out into the crowd, shouting,
Act 14:15 "Friends, why are you doing this? We are mortals just like you, and we bring you good news, that you should turn from these worthless things to the living God, who made the heaven and the earth and the sea and all that is in them.
Act 14:16 In past generations he allowed all the nations to follow their own ways;
Act 14:17 yet he has not left himself without a witness in doing good—giving you rains from heaven and fruitful seasons, and filling you with food and your hearts with joy."
Act 14:18 Even with these words, they scarcely restrained the crowds from offering sacrifice to them.
