Acts 14:11-15

English Standard Version

¹¹ And when the crowds saw what Paul had done, they lifted up their voices, saying in Lycaonian, ^(A)“The gods have come down to us in the likeness of men!” ¹² Barnabas they called ^(B)Zeus, and Paul, Hermes, because he was the chief speaker. ¹³ And the priest of ^(C)Zeus, whose temple was at the entrance to the city, brought oxen and garlands to the gates and ^(D)wanted to offer sacrifice with the crowds. ¹⁴ But when the apostles Barnabas and Paul heard of it, they ^(E)tore their garments and rushed out into the crowd, crying out, ¹⁵ “Men, ^(F)why are you doing these things? We also are men, ^(G)of like nature with you, and we bring you good news, that ^(H)you should turn from these ^(I)vain things to ^(J)a living God, ^(K)who made the heaven and the earth and the sea and all that is in them.
