In (A)Lystra (B)a man was sitting whose feet were incapacitated. He had been disabled from his mother’s womb, and had never walked. This man was listening to Paul as he spoke. Paul (C)looked at him intently and saw that he had (D)faith to be [a]made well, 10 and he said with a loud voice, “Stand upright on your feet!” (E)And the man leaped up and began to walk. 11 When the crowds saw what Paul had done, they raised their voice, saying in the (F)Lycaonian language, “(G)The gods have become like men and have come down to us!” 12 And they began calling Barnabas, [b]Zeus, and Paul, [c]Hermes, since he was [d]the chief speaker. 13 Moreover, the priest of Zeus, whose temple was [e]just outside the city, brought oxen and garlands to the gates, and (H)wanted to offer sacrifice with the crowds.
