14 ⁸ At Lystra sat a crippled man, lame from birth, who had never walked in his life. 14 ⁹ This man listened while Paul was speaking. Paul fixed his eyes on him and saw that he had the faith to be cured, 14 ¹⁰ so he said to him in a loud voice, 'Stand up straight on your feet'; and he sprang up and started to walk. 14 ¹¹ When the crowds saw what Paul had done, they shouted, in their native Lycaonian, 'The gods have come down to us in human form.' 14 ¹² And they called Barnabas Jupiter, and Paul they called Mercury, because he was the spokesman. 14 ¹³ And the priest of Jupiter, whose temple was just outside the city, brought oxen and garlands to the gates, and he and all the people were about to offer sacrifice.
14 ¹⁴ But when the apostles Barnabas and Paul heard of it, they tore their clothes and rushed into the crowd shouting, 14 ^{15 [ Ex.20.11, Ps.146.6. ]} 'Men, what is this that you are doing? We are only human beings, no less mortal than you. The good news we bring tells you to turn from these follies to the living God, who made heaven and earth and sea and everything in them. 14 ¹⁶ In past ages he allowed all nations to go their own way; 14 ¹⁷ and yet he has not left you without some clue to his nature, in the kindness he shows: he sends you rain from heaven and crops in their seasons, and gives you food and good cheer in plenty.'
14 ¹⁸ With these words they barely managed to prevent the crowd from offering sacrifice to them.

14 ¹⁹ Then Jews from Antioch and Iconium came on the scene and won over the crowds. They stoned Paul, and dragged him out of the city, thinking him dead. 14 ²⁰ The converts formed a ring round him, and he got to his feet and went into the city. Next day he left with Barnabas for Derbe.
