Acts 14:11-19

MKJV(i) 11 And seeing what Paul did, the crowd lifted up their voice, saying in Lycaonian, The gods have come down to us, becoming like men. 12 And they called Barnabas Jupiter, and Paul Mercury, because he was the chief speaker. 13 And the priest of Jupiter, being before their city, brought oxen and garlands to the gates, wishing to sacrifice with the crowds. 14 But hearing this, the apostles Barnabas and Paul tore their clothes and ran in among the people, crying out 15 and saying, Men, why do you do these things? We also are men of like passions with you, and preaching the gospel to you to turn you from these vanities to the living God, who made the heaven and the earth and the sea, and all things in them; 16 who in past generations allowed all nations to walk in their own ways. 17 And yet He did not leave Himself without witness, doing good, giving rain and fruitful season to us from heaven, filling our hearts with food and gladness. 18 And saying these things, they scarcely stopped the people from sacrificing to them. 19 And Jews from Antioch and Iconium came there, who, having persuaded the people, and having stoned Paul, they drew him out of the city, supposing him to have died.
