12 Besides, they called Barnabas Zeus, yet Paul, Hermes, since, in fact, he was the leading speaker."
13 Besides, the priest of the Zeus which is before the city, bringing bulls and garlands to the portals, wanted to sacrifice together with the throngs."
14 Now, on hearing this, the apostles Barnabas and Paul, tearing their garments, spring out into the throng, crying"

16 Who, in bygone generations, leaves all the nations to go their ways,
17 although He leaves Himself not without the testimony of good acts, giving showers from heaven and fruitbearing seasons, filling our hearts with nourishment and gladness."
