Acts 14
King James Version
14 And it came to pass in Iconium, that they went both together into the synagogue of the Jews, and so spake, that a great multitude both of the Jews and also of the Greeks believed.
2 But the unbelieving Jews stirred up the Gentiles, and made their minds evil affected against the brethren.
3 Long time therefore abode they speaking boldly in the Lord, which gave testimony unto the word of his grace, and granted signs and wonders to be done by their hands.
4 But the multitude of the city was divided: and part held with the Jews, and part with the apostles.
5 And when there was an assault made both of the Gentiles, and also of the Jews with their rulers, to use them despitefully, and to stone them,
6 They were ware of it, and fled unto Lystra and Derbe, cities of Lycaonia, and unto the region that lieth round about:
7 And there they preached the gospel.
8 And there sat a certain man at Lystra, impotent in his feet, being a cripple from his mother's womb, who never had walked:
9 The same heard Paul speak: who stedfastly beholding him, and perceiving that he had faith to be healed,
10 Said with a loud voice, Stand upright on thy feet. And he leaped and walked.
11 And when the people saw what Paul had done, they lifted up their voices, saying in the speech of Lycaonia, The gods are come down to us in the likeness of men.
12 And they called Barnabas, Jupiter; and Paul, Mercurius, because he was the chief speaker.
13 Then the priest of Jupiter, which was before their city, brought oxen and garlands unto the gates, and would have done sacrifice with the people.
14 Which when the apostles, Barnabas and Paul, heard of, they rent their clothes, and ran in among the people, crying out,
15 And saying, Sirs, why do ye these things? We also are men of like passions with you, and preach unto you that ye should turn from these vanities unto the living God, which made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and all things that are therein:
16 Who in times past suffered all nations to walk in their own ways.
17 Nevertheless he left not himself without witness, in that he did good, and gave us rain from heaven, and fruitful seasons, filling our hearts with food and gladness.
18 And with these sayings scarce restrained they the people, that they had not done sacrifice unto them.
19 And there came thither certain Jews from Antioch and Iconium, who persuaded the people, and having stoned Paul, drew him out of the city, supposing he had been dead.
20 Howbeit, as the disciples stood round about him, he rose up, and came into the city: and the next day he departed with Barnabas to Derbe.
21 And when they had preached the gospel to that city, and had taught many, they returned again to Lystra, and to Iconium, and Antioch,
22 Confirming the souls of the disciples, and exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that we must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God.
23 And when they had ordained them elders in every church, and had prayed with fasting, they commended them to the Lord, on whom they believed.
24 And after they had passed throughout Pisidia, they came to Pamphylia.
25 And when they had preached the word in Perga, they went down into Attalia:
26 And thence sailed to Antioch, from whence they had been recommended to the grace of God for the work which they fulfilled.
27 And when they were come, and had gathered the church together, they rehearsed all that God had done with them, and how he had opened the door of faith unto the Gentiles.
28 And there they abode long time with the disciples.

Acceptance and Opposition
14 In (A)Iconium (B)they entered the synagogue of the Jews together, and spoke in such a way (C)that a large number of people believed, both of Jews and of (D)Greeks. 2 But (E)the [a](F)unbelieving Jews stirred up the [b]minds of the Gentiles and embittered them against (G)the brothers. 3 Therefore they spent a long time there (H)speaking boldly with reliance upon the Lord, who was testifying to the word of His grace, granting that [c](I)signs and wonders be performed by their hands. 4 (J)But the [d]people of the city were divided; and some [e]sided with (K)the Jews, while others, with (L)the apostles. 5 And when an attempt was made by both the Gentiles and (M)the Jews with their rulers, to treat them abusively and to (N)stone them, 6 they became aware of it and fled to the cities of (O)Lycaonia, (P)Lystra and (Q)Derbe, and the surrounding region; 7 and there they continued to (R)preach the gospel.
8 In (S)Lystra (T)a man was sitting whose feet were incapacitated. He had been disabled from his mother’s womb, and had never walked. 9 This man was listening to Paul as he spoke. Paul (U)looked at him intently and saw that he had (V)faith to be [f]made well, 10 and he said with a loud voice, “Stand upright on your feet!” (W)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 (X)Lycaonian language, “(Y)The gods have become like men and have come down to us!” 12 And they began calling Barnabas, [g]Zeus, and Paul, [h]Hermes, since he was [i]the chief speaker. 13 Moreover, the priest of Zeus, whose temple was [j]just outside the city, brought oxen and garlands to the gates, and (Z)wanted to offer sacrifice with the crowds. 14 But when (AA)the apostles Barnabas and Paul heard about it, they (AB)tore their [k]robes and rushed out into the crowd, crying out 15 and saying, “Men, why are you doing these things? We are also (AC)men, of the same nature as you, (AD)preaching the gospel to you, to turn from these [l](AE)useless things to a (AF)living God, who (AG)made the heaven and the earth and the sea, and everything that is in them. 16 [m]In past generations He (AH)permitted all the [n]nations to (AI)go their own ways; 17 yet (AJ)He did not leave Himself without witness, in that He did good and (AK)gave you rains from heaven and fruitful seasons, [o]satisfying your hearts with food and gladness.” 18 And even by saying these things, only with difficulty did they restrain the crowds from offering sacrifices to them.
19 But (AL)Jews came from (AM)Antioch and (AN)Iconium, and having won over the crowds, they (AO)stoned Paul and dragged him out of the city, thinking that he was dead. 20 But while (AP)the disciples stood around him, he got up and entered the city. The next day he left with Barnabas for (AQ)Derbe. 21 And after they had (AR)preached the gospel to that city and had (AS)made a good number of disciples, they returned to (AT)Lystra, to (AU)Iconium, and to (AV)Antioch, 22 strengthening the souls of (AW)the disciples, encouraging them to continue in (AX)the faith, and saying, “(AY)It is through many tribulations that we must enter the kingdom of God.” 23 When (AZ)they had appointed (BA)elders for them in every church, having (BB)prayed with fasting, they (BC)entrusted them to the Lord in whom they had believed.
24 They passed through (BD)Pisidia and came into (BE)Pamphylia. 25 When they had spoken the word in (BF)Perga, they went down to Attalia. 26 From there they sailed to (BG)Antioch, (BH)where they had been (BI)entrusted to the grace of God for the work that they had [p]accomplished. 27 When they had arrived and gathered the church together, they began to (BJ)report all the things that God had done with them and [q]how He had opened a (BK)door of faith to the Gentiles. 28 And they spent [r]a long time with (BL)the disciples.

使徒の働き 14
Japanese Living Bible
14 イコニオムの町でも、パウロとバルナバは連れ立って会堂に行き、力強く語ったので、ユダヤ人も外国人も、大ぜい神を信じました。
2 しかし、神のことばを軽んじるユダヤ人たちは、根も葉もないことで二人を中傷し、人々の不信をかき立てました。 3 それにもかかわらず、二人は長い間そこに滞在し、大胆に宣教を続けたのです。主は、すばらしい奇跡を行わせ、二人のことばが真実であることを証明なさいました。 4 ところが、町の人たちの意見は真っ二つに分かれました。ユダヤ人の指導者側の意見に賛成する者がいる一方、使徒たちの味方につく者もいました。
ルステラでの出来事
5-6 外国人とユダヤ人たちが彼らの指導者たちと結託し、使徒たちを襲い、石で打ち殺そうとたくらんでいるという情報が、二人の耳に入りました。二人は急いで町を出ると、ルカオニヤ地方の町のルステラとデルベ、またその周辺に難をのがれ、 7 そこで福音を伝えました。
8 ルステラにいた時のことです。一人の足の不自由な人に出会いました。生まれてこのかた、一歩も歩いたことがない人でした。 9 その人が、パウロの説教に一心に耳を傾けていたのです。パウロは彼に目をとめ、彼に信仰があるのを見て、 10 大声で、「立ちなさい」と言いました。その瞬間、彼は跳び上がり、勢いよく歩きだしたのです。
11 これを見た人々は、その地方のことばで、「神々だ。人間の姿をした神々だ」と叫びました。 12 そして、大騒ぎしながら、二人をギリシヤの神々にまつり上げたのです。バルナバはゼウス、パウロはおもに話をしたので、ヘルメスだということになりました。 13 町の門のすぐ外にあるゼウス神殿の祭司までが、花飾りを持って駆けつけ、門のところで群衆といっしょに雄牛を数頭いけにえとし、二人にささげようとしました。
14 バルナバとパウロは、この、神を汚すふるまいに仰天し、着物を引き裂いて群衆の中に駆け込み、大声で叫びました。
15 「皆さん。なんということをするのです。私たちは、皆さんと同じ、ただの人間ではありませんか。こんな愚かなことはおやめなさい！ 天と地と海、それにその中のすべてのものをお造りになった神を礼拝しなさい。私たちは、そのために、福音を伝えに来たのです。 16 過去の時代には、神様は、あらゆる国民がそれぞれ自分勝手な道に進むことを許しておられました。 17 といっても、神のことが全然わからなかったわけではありません。神を思い起こさせるものは、いつでも私たちの周囲にあったのです。たとえば、雨を降らせてくださったのも神ですし、食べ物が不足しないようにと、収穫を与えて、喜びに満たしてくださったのも神なのです。」
18 こうしてパウロとバルナバは、やっとのことで、彼らがいけにえをささげるのをやめさせました。
19 しかし、その数日後、また別の事件が起こりました。アンテオケとイコニオムから数人のユダヤ人が来て、町の人たちを味方に引き入れ、パウロを襲って石を投げつけたのです。ぐったりとしたパウロを見て、てっきり死んだものと思った彼らは、パウロを町の外へ引きずり出しました。 20 クリスチャンたちはパウロの回りを取り巻き、心配そうにながめていました。するとどうでしょう。彼はむくりと起き上がり、何事もなかったように町へ帰って行ったのです。翌日、パウロはバルナバといっしょに、デルベに向けて出発しました。 21 そこで福音を語り、多くの人をクリスチャンにしてから、ルステラ、イコニオム、アンテオケへと引き返しました。 22 それぞれの町でクリスチャンたちに会い、ますます神を愛し、また互いに愛し合うように教え、どんな迫害にもくじけず、信仰にとどまり続けるようにと励ましました。そして、「神の国に入るには、いろいろ苦しい目に会わなければならない」と語りました。 23 二人は、どこの教会でも長老を任命し、彼らのために断食して祈り、だれよりも信頼する主にゆだねました。
24 それから、二人はピシデヤを通ってパンフリヤに帰り、 25 また、ペルガでみことばを語ってから、アタリヤに行きました。 26 そして、船でアンテオケに帰って来たのです。この町は、今まさに終えてきたばかりの務めを、神からゆだねられて出発した所でした。 27 二人はさっそく信者たちを集めて伝道旅行の報告をし、神が外国人にも信仰の門を開いてくださったことを話しました。 28 それから、かなり長い間、アンテオケで信者たちといっしょに過ごしました。

In Iconium
14 At Iconium(A) Paul and Barnabas went as usual into the Jewish synagogue.(B) There they spoke so effectively that a great number(C) of Jews and Greeks believed. 2 But the Jews who refused to believe stirred up the other Gentiles and poisoned their minds against the brothers.(D) 3 So Paul and Barnabas spent considerable time there, speaking boldly(E) for the Lord, who confirmed the message of his grace by enabling them to perform signs and wonders.(F) 4 The people of the city were divided; some sided with the Jews, others with the apostles.(G) 5 There was a plot afoot among both Gentiles and Jews,(H) together with their leaders, to mistreat them and stone them.(I) 6 But they found out about it and fled(J) to the Lycaonian cities of Lystra and Derbe and to the surrounding country, 7 where they continued to preach(K) the gospel.(L)
In Lystra and Derbe
8 In Lystra there sat a man who was lame. He had been that way from birth(M) and had never walked. 9 He listened to Paul as he was speaking. Paul looked directly at him, saw that he had faith to be healed(N) 10 and called out, “Stand up on your feet!”(O) At that, the man jumped up and began to walk.(P)
11 When the crowd saw what Paul had done, they shouted in the Lycaonian language, “The gods have come down to us in human form!”(Q) 12 Barnabas they called Zeus, and Paul they called Hermes because he was the chief speaker.(R) 13 The priest of Zeus, whose temple was just outside the city, brought bulls and wreaths to the city gates because he and the crowd wanted to offer sacrifices to them.
14 But when the apostles Barnabas and Paul heard of this, they tore their clothes(S) and rushed out into the crowd, shouting: 15 “Friends, why are you doing this? We too are only human,(T) like you. We are bringing you good news,(U) telling you to turn from these worthless things(V) to the living God,(W) who made the heavens and the earth(X) and the sea and everything in them.(Y) 16 In the past, he let(Z) all nations go their own way.(AA) 17 Yet he has not left himself without testimony:(AB) He has shown kindness by giving you rain from heaven and crops in their seasons;(AC) he provides you with plenty of food and fills your hearts with joy.”(AD) 18 Even with these words, they had difficulty keeping the crowd from sacrificing to them.
19 Then some Jews(AE) came from Antioch and Iconium(AF) and won the crowd over. They stoned Paul(AG) and dragged him outside the city, thinking he was dead. 20 But after the disciples(AH) had gathered around him, he got up and went back into the city. The next day he and Barnabas left for Derbe.
The Return to Antioch in Syria
21 They preached the gospel(AI) in that city and won a large number(AJ) of disciples. Then they returned to Lystra, Iconium(AK) and Antioch, 22 strengthening the disciples and encouraging them to remain true to the faith.(AL) “We must go through many hardships(AM) to enter the kingdom of God,” they said. 23 Paul and Barnabas appointed elders[a](AN) for them in each church and, with prayer and fasting,(AO) committed them to the Lord,(AP) in whom they had put their trust. 24 After going through Pisidia, they came into Pamphylia,(AQ) 25 and when they had preached the word in Perga, they went down to Attalia.
26 From Attalia they sailed back to Antioch,(AR) where they had been committed to the grace of God(AS) for the work they had now completed.(AT) 27 On arriving there, they gathered the church together and reported all that God had done through them(AU) and how he had opened a door(AV) of faith to the Gentiles. 28 And they stayed there a long time with the disciples.(AW)
