7
And there they preached the Gospel.
8
And there sat at Lystra a certain man, impotent in his feet, being a cripple from his mother's womb, who never had walked.
9
This same one heard Paul speak who, steadfastly beholding him and perceiving that he had faith to be healed,
10
said with a loud voice, "Stand upright on thy feet!" And he leaped and walked.
11
And when the people saw what Paul had done, they lifted up their voices, saying in the language of Lycaonia, "The gods have 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
Then the priest of Jupiter, who was in front of the city, brought oxen and garlands unto the gates and would have done sacrifice along with the people.
14
But when the apostles Barnabas and Paul heard of this, they rent their clothes and ran in among the people, crying out and saying,
15
"Sirs, why do ye these things? We also are men of like passions as you, and preach unto you that ye should turn from these vanities unto the living God, who made heaven and earth and the sea, and all things that are therein,
16
and who in times past suffered all nations to walk in their own ways.
17
Nevertheless, He left not Himself without witness, in that He did good, and gave us rain from heaven and fruitful seasons, filling our hearts with food and gladness."
