Acts 14:11-19

Worsley(i) 11 And the people, seeing what Paul had done, lifted up their voice, saying in the Lycaonian tongue, 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 priest of Jupiter, whose image was before the city, brought oxen and garlands to the gates, and with the people would have offered sacrifices to them. 14 But the apostles Barnabas and Paul, when they heard of it, rent their clothes, and ran in among the people, 15 crying out, and saying, "Sirs, why do ye these things? we also are men subject to the like infirmities with you, and we preach the gospel unto you, that ye may turn from these vanities to the living God, who made the heaven, and the earth, and the sea, 16 and all things therein, who in generations past suffered all the nations to walk in their own ways: though He left not Himself without witness; 17 for He did us good, in giving us rain from heaven, and fruitful seasons, filling our hearts with food and gladness." 18 And saying these things, they with difficulty restrained the people from sacrificing to them. 19 But there came thither some Jews from Antioch and Iconium, and persuading the multitude, stoned Paul, and dragged him out of the city, supposing him to be dead.
