10
said with a loud voice, Rise up straight upon thy feet: and he sprang up and walked.
11
But the crowds, who saw what Paul had done, lifted up their voices in Lycaonian, saying, The gods, having made themselves like men, are come down to us.
12
And they called Barnabas Jupiter, and Paul Mercury, because he took the lead in speaking.
13
And the priest of Jupiter who was before the city, having brought bulls and garlands to the gates, would have done sacrifice along with the crowds.
14

and saying, Men, why do ye these things? *We* also are men of like passions with you, preaching to you to turn 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 the past generations suffered all the nations to go in their own ways,
17
though indeed he did not leave himself without witness, doing good, and giving to you from heaven rain and fruitful seasons, filling your hearts with food and gladness.
