Acts 14:11-19

ACV(i) 11 And the multitudes who saw what Paul did, lifted up their voice, speaking Lycaonian, The gods came down to us, having become like men. 12 And they actually called Barnabas, Zeus, and Paul, Hermes, because he was the man who led the word. 13 And the priest of Zeus, being in front of their city, after bringing oxen and garlands to the gates, wanted to sacrifice with the multitudes. 14 But when the apostles, Barnabas and Paul, heard, having torn their garments, they rushed into the crowd, crying out 15 and saying, Men, why are ye doing these things? We also are men of like nature with you, proclaiming good news to you, to turn from these vain things to the living God, who made the heaven and the earth and the sea, and all the things in them, 16 who in the generations that have passed allowed all the nations to go in their own ways, 17 although he did not leave himself without evidence, doing good and giving you rains from heaven and fruitful seasons, filling our hearts of food and gladness. 18 And saying these things, they scarcely restrained the multitudes not to sacrifice to them. 19 But Jews came from Antioch and Iconium. And having persuaded the crowds, and having stoned Paul, they dragged him out of the city, after presuming him to be dead.
