ABP - Acts - 14

14:1  And it came to pass in Iconium, together they entered into the synagogue of the Jews, and spoke thus so as for [6to believe 3of both Jews 4and 5Hellenists 1a great 2multitude].

14:2  But the Jews having resisted persuasion, roused up and afflicted the souls of the nations against the brethren.

14:3  [3a fit 1Then 4time 2they spent] speaking openly in the Lord, to the bearing witness to the word of his favor, granting signs and miracles to take place through their hands.

14:4  [6was split 1And 2the 3multitude 4of the 5city]; and some were with the Jews, and some with the apostles.

14:5  And as there became a movement by the nations, and also of Jews with their rulers, to insult and to stone them,

14:6  being fully conscious, they took refuge in the cities of Lycaonia, Lystra and Derbe, and the place round about,

14:7  and there they were announcing good news.

14:8  And a certain man in Lystra, disabled in the feet sat, [2lame 3from 4the belly 5of his mother 1being], who at no time walked.

14:9  This one heard Paul speaking; who having gazed upon him, and seeing that [2belief 1he had], of the one to be delivered,

14:10  said with a great voice, Rise upon your feet straight! And he leaped up and walked.

14:11  And the multitudes beholding what Paul did, lifted up their voice in Lycaonian, saying, The gods having become like men, are come down to us.

14:12  And they called Barnabas -- Dia, and Paul -- Hermes, since he was the one leading by word.

14:13  And the priest, the one of Dia, of the one being before their city, [2bulls 3and 4garlands 5unto 6the 7vestibules 1having brought], with the multitudes, wanted to sacrifice.

14:14  And having heard, the apostles Barnabas and Paul, having torn their garments, rushed into the multitude crying,

14:15  and saying, Men, why do you do these things? Even we [3having the same passions 1are 4as you 2men], announcing good news -- for you [2from 3these 4vanities 1to turn] unto the [2God 1living], who made the heaven, and the earth, and the sea, and all the things in them;

14:16  who in the [2passing by 1generations] allowed all the nations to go by their ways;

14:17  though indeed not without his own witness did he allow it, but doing good from heaven to you -- [2rains 1giving], and seasons bearing fruit, filling up provision and gladness of our hearts.

14:18  And saying these things, [3hardly 4ceased 1the 2multitudes] to not sacrifice to them.

14:19  [3came 1And 4from 5Antioch 6and 7Iconium 2Jews]; and having persuaded the multitudes, and having stoned Paul, they dragged him outside the city thinking him to have died.

14:20  [4having encircled 1But 5him 2the 3disciples], having risen up, he entered into the city. And the next day he went forth with Barnabas unto Derbe.

14:21  And having announced good news in that city, and having discipled a fit amount, they returned unto Lystra, and Iconium, and Antioch,

14:22  staying up the souls of the disciples, appealing to them to adhere to the belief, and saying that, By many afflictions we must enter into the kingdom of God.

14:23  And having hand picked for them elders in every assembly, having prayed with fastings, they placed them to the Lord in whom they had believed.

14:24  And having gone through Pisidia, they came unto Pamphylia.

14:25  And having spoken [3in 4Perga 1the 2word], they went down unto Attalia.

14:26  And from there they sailed away unto Antioch, from where they were delivered up to the favor of God, for the work which they fulfilled.

14:27  And having arrived, and having gathered together the assembly, they announced as much as God did with them, and that he opened to the nations a door of belief.

14:28  And they spent time there, not a little, with the disciples.
