8
And a certain man in Lystra, impotent in the feet, was sitting, being lame from the womb of his mother -- who never had walked,
9
this one was hearing Paul speaking, who, having stedfastly beheld him, and having seen that he hath faith to be saved,
10
said with a loud voice, `Stand up on thy feet upright;' and he was springing and walking,
11
and the multitudes having seen what Paul did, did lift up their voice, in the speech of Lycaonia, saying, `The gods, having become like men, did come down unto us;'
12
they were calling also Barnabas Zeus, and Paul Hermes, since he was the leader in speaking.
13
And the priest of the Zeus that is before their city, oxen and garlands unto the porches having brought, with the multitudes did wish to sacrifice,
14
and having heard, the apostles Barnabas and Paul, having rent their garments, did spring into the multitude, crying
15
and saying, `Men, why these things do ye? and we are men like-affected with you, proclaiming good news to you, from these vanities to turn unto the living God, who made the heaven, and the earth, and the sea, and all the things in them;
16
who in the past generations did suffer all the nations to go on in their ways,
17
though, indeed, without witness He did not leave himself, doing good -- from heaven giving rains to us, and fruitful seasons, filling our hearts with food and gladness;'
18
and these things saying, scarcely did they restrain the multitudes from sacrificing to them.
