Acts 14:11-20 When the people saw what Paul had done, they lifted up their voice, and, in the Lycaonian dialect, said, "The Gods are come down to us in the likeness of men."

Thomson⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹¹ When the people saw what Paul had done, they lifted up their voice, and, in the Lycaonian dialect, said, "The Gods are come down to us in the likeness of men." ¹² And they called Barnabas, Jupiter: and Paul, Mercury; because he was the chief speaker. ¹³ And the priests of Jupiter's temple which was before their city, brought bulls with garlands to the gates, and together with the multitude, desired to offer a sacrifice. ¹⁴ But the apostles Barnabas and Paul, hearing of this, rent their clothes and ran in among the crowd, crying out ¹⁵ and saying, Men, why do ye these things? We are only frail mortals like yourselves, proclaiming to you to turn from these vanities to the living God, who made the heaven and the earth, and the sea, and all the things which are therein; ¹⁶ who in the ages past suffered all the nations to walk in their own ways, ¹⁷ though at the same time he did not fail to give an evidence of himself, by conferring favours, giving us rain from heaven and fruitful seasons, filling our hearts with food and gladness. ¹⁸ And with such speeches as these, they, with difficulty, restrained the people from offering them a sacrifice. ¹⁹ But there came thither some Jews from Antioch and Iconium, who, having gained over the populace and stoned Paul, dragged him out of the city, supposing him dead. ²⁰ But while the disciples were around him, he arose and went into the city. And on the morrow he departed with Barnabas to Derbe.
