Acts 14:8-15

New American Standard Bible 1995

⁸ At ^(A)Lystra ^(B)a man was sitting who had no strength in his feet, lame from his mother’s womb, who had never walked. ⁹ This man was listening to Paul as he spoke, who, ^(C)when he had fixed his gaze on him and had seen that he had ^(D)faith to be ^[a]made well, ¹⁰ said with a loud voice, “Stand upright on your feet.” ^(E)And he 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, because he was ^[d]the chief speaker. ¹³ 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. ¹⁴ But when ^(I)the apostles Barnabas and Paul heard of it, they ^(J)tore their ^[f]robes and rushed out into the crowd, crying out ¹⁵ and saying, “Men, why are you doing these things? We are also ^(K)men of the same nature as you, and ^(L)preach the gospel to you that you should turn from these ^[g](M)vain things to a ^(N)living God, ^(O)who made the heaven and the earth and the sea and all that is in them.
