\subsection{Acts 14}
|
|
\VS{1} Now it came to pass in Iconia they went together into the synagogue of the
|
|
Jews, and spoke thus so that [a] great multitude of Jews and Greeks believed.
|
|
\VS{2} But the disobedient Jews rose up and did evil to the psyche-lives\fnPsyche{} of the
|
|
nations against the brothers.
|
|
\VS{3} Indeed therefore they stayed some
|
|
time, openly speaking upon the Lord, witnessing upon the word of his grace,
|
|
giving signs and wonders to come to pass through their hands.
|
|
\VS{4} So the
|
|
multitude of the city was divided, and [some] were with the Jews, but [some] with the apostles.
|
|
\VS{5} Now as an assault, from the Gentiles and the Jews with
|
|
their rulers, came to pass to outrage and stone them,
|
|
\VS{6} having
|
|
understood, they fled to the cities of Lucaonia and Lystra and Derbe and the
|
|
surrounding region.
|
|
\VS{7} There also were they good-newsing.
|
|
\VS{8} And in
|
|
Lystra a certain unable man sat on his feet, lame from his mother's belly,
|
|
who had never walked.
|
|
\VS{9} This [one] heard Paul speaking, who looked intently
|
|
on him, and having known that he has belief to be saved,
|
|
\VS{10} he said
|
|
with [a] great voice: Arise upon your feet straight. And he leaped and was
|
|
walking.
|
|
\VS{11} The crowds, having seen what Paul did, raised their voices to
|
|
Lycaonis saying: Gods like men have come down to us.
|
|
\VS{12} And they were
|
|
calling Barnabbas ``Dia,''\footnote{``Zeus''} and Paul ``Hermes,'' since he was the leader of the word\footnote{that is, Paul did the talking}.
|
|
\VS{13} So the priest of Dios
|
|
whose [temple] was before the city, having brought bulls and wreaths to the gates,
|
|
he wanted to sacrifice with the crowds.
|
|
\VS{14} But having heard, the
|
|
apostles Barnabbas and Paul --- having torn their garments --- rushed out
|
|
into the crowd, crying out
|
|
\VS{15} and saying: Men, why do you do these
|
|
[things]? We also are of like nature to you men, good-newsing you to turn from these
|
|
futile [things] to the zoe-living\fnZoe{} God, who made the heaven and the earth
|
|
and the sea and everything in them,
|
|
\VS{16} who in past generations permitted all the
|
|
nations to go their own ways;
|
|
\VS{17} and yet doing good, he did not leave
|
|
them without witness, giving to you rain from heaven and bearing fruit at
|
|
the opportune-time\fnKairos{}, filling your hearts with food and gladness.
|
|
\VS{18} And saying these [things], the crowds barely ceased to be sacrificing to them.
|
|
\VS{19} Now Jews of Iconia also came from Antioch, and having persuaded the crowds,
|
|
and having stoned Paul, they were dragging him out of the city, thinking him
|
|
to have died.
|
|
\VS{20} But the disciples having surrounded him, he having arisen went into the city.
|
|
And on the morrow he went out with Barnabbas to Derbe.
|
|
\VS{21} And good-newsing that city and having made many disciples,
|
|
they returned to Lystra and Iconia and Antioch,
|
|
\VS{22} strengthening the
|
|
psyche-lives\fnPsyche{} of the disciples, calling upon them to abide in the faith, and that:
|
|
Through many distresses you must enter into the kingdom of God.
|
|
\VS{23} So having appointed to them elders [church] by assembly\fnEkklhsia{},
|
|
having prayed with fasting, they committed them to the Lord in whom they have believed.
|
|
\VS{24} And having gone through the Pisidian, they came to Pamphylia,
|
|
\VS{25} and having spoken to Perga the word, they went down to Attalia,
|
|
\VS{26} and from there they
|
|
sailed to Antioch, whence they had been delivered up by the grace of God to
|
|
the work which they fulfilled.
|
|
\VS{27} So having arrived and having gathered
|
|
the assembly\fnEkklhsia{}, they reported as many [things] as the Lord did with them,
|
|
and that he opened to the nations\footnote{i.e. the Gentiles} [the] door of faith.
|
|
\VS{28} So they stayed not [a] little time with the disciples.
