Acts 14
New King James Version
At Iconium
14 Now it happened in Iconium that they went together to the synagogue of the Jews, and so spoke that a great multitude both of the Jews and of the (A)Greeks believed. 2 But the unbelieving Jews stirred up the Gentiles and [a]poisoned their [b]minds against the brethren. 3 Therefore they stayed there a long time, speaking boldly in the Lord, (B)who was bearing witness to the word of His grace, granting signs and (C)wonders to be done by their hands.
4 But the multitude of the city was (D)divided: part sided with the Jews, and part with the (E)apostles. 5 And when a violent attempt was made by both the Gentiles and Jews, with their rulers, (F)to abuse and stone them, 6 they became aware of it and (G)fled to Lystra and Derbe, cities of Lycaonia, and to the surrounding region. 7 And they were preaching the gospel there.
Idolatry at Lystra
8 (H)And in Lystra a certain man without strength in his feet was sitting, a cripple from his mother’s womb, who had never walked. 9 This man heard Paul speaking. [c]Paul, observing him intently and seeing that he had faith to be healed, 10 said with a loud voice, (I)“Stand up straight on your feet!” And he leaped and walked. 11 Now when the people saw what Paul had done, they raised their voices, saying in the Lycaonian language, (J)“The gods have come down to us in the likeness of men!” 12 And Barnabas they called [d]Zeus, and Paul, [e]Hermes, because he was the chief speaker. 13 Then the priest of Zeus, whose temple was in front of their city, brought oxen and garlands to the gates, (K)intending to sacrifice with the multitudes.
14 But when the apostles Barnabas and Paul heard this, (L)they tore their clothes and ran in among the multitude, crying out 15 and saying, “Men, (M)why are you doing these things? (N)We also are men with the same nature as you, and preach to you that you should turn from (O)these useless things (P)to the living God, (Q)who made the heaven, the earth, the sea, and all things that are in them, 16 (R)who in bygone generations allowed all nations to walk in their own ways. 17 (S)Nevertheless He did not leave Himself without witness, in that He did good, (T)gave us rain from heaven and fruitful seasons, filling our hearts with (U)food and gladness.” 18 And with these sayings they could scarcely restrain the multitudes from sacrificing to them.
Stoning, Escape to Derbe
19 (V)Then Jews from Antioch and Iconium came there; and having persuaded the multitudes, (W)they stoned Paul and dragged him out of the city, supposing him to be (X)dead. 20 However, when the disciples gathered around him, he rose up and went into the city. And the next day he departed with Barnabas to Derbe.
Strengthening the Converts
21 And when they had preached the gospel to that city (Y)and made many disciples, they returned to Lystra, Iconium, and Antioch, 22 strengthening the souls of the disciples, (Z)exhorting them to continue in the faith, and saying, (AA)“We must through many tribulations enter the kingdom of God.” 23 So when they had (AB)appointed elders in every church, and prayed with fasting, they commended them to the Lord in whom they had believed. 24 And after they had passed through Pisidia, they came to Pamphylia. 25 Now when they had preached the word in Perga, they went down to Attalia. 26 From there they sailed to Antioch, where they had been commended to the grace of God for the work which they had completed.
27 Now when they had come and gathered the church together, (AC)they reported all that God had done with them, and that He had (AD)opened the door of faith to the Gentiles. 28 So they stayed there a long time with the disciples.

Деяния 14
Библия, синодално издание
14 В Икония те влязоха заедно в иудейската синагога и говориха тъй, че голямо множество иудеи и елини повярваха.
2 А невярващите иудеи възбудиха и озлобиха сърцата на езичниците против братята.
3 (A)Но те пак останаха тук доста време, говорейки дръзновено за Господа, Който свидетелствуваше за словото на Своята благодат, като даваше чрез техни ръце да стават личби и чудеса.
4 А народът в града се раздели: едни бяха с иудеите, а други – с апостолите.
5 Когато езичниците и иудеите със своите началници, възбудени, се готвеха да ги охулят и с камъни убият,
6 (B)те, като узнаха, прибягнаха в ликаонските градове Листра и Дервия и в техните околности,
7 и там благовестяха.
8 В Листра имаше един човек, немощен в нозете си, който, бидейки хром от майчина утроба, седеше; той никога не беше ходил.
9 Той слушаше, когато Павел говореше; а Павел, като се вгледа в него и забележи, че има вяра, за да получи изцеление,
10 (C)каза му с висок глас: тебе казвам в името на Господа Иисуса Христа: изправи се на нозете си! И той веднага взе да скача и ходи.
11 А тълпите народ, като видяха, какво стори Павел, издигнаха глас и казваха по ликаонски: боговете в образ човешки са слезли при нас.
12 И наричаха Варнава Зевс, а Павла Ермес, понеже той първенствуваше в говоренето.
13 А жрецът на Зевса, чийто идол се намираше пред техния град, като доведе при вратата юнци и донесе венци, искаше да извърши жертвоприношение заедно с народа.
14 Но апостолите Варнава и Павел, като чуха за това, раздраха си дрехите и се хвърлиха между народа, виком казвайки:
15 (D)мъже, защо това правите? И ние сме подобострастни вам човеци и ви благовестим, да се обърнете от тия лъжливи богове към Бога Живий, Който е сътворил небето и земята, морето и всичко, що е в тях,
16 Който в миналите поколения остави всички народи да вървят по своите пътища,
17 (E)макар че не преставаше да свидетелствува за Себе Си с благодеяния, като ни пращаше от небето дъждове и плодоносни времена и изпълняше сърцата ни с храна и веселост.
18 И като говореха това, едвам убедиха народа да им не принася жертва, а всякой да иде у дома си. Докато те оставаха там, и поучаваха,
19 (F)дойдоха от Антиохия и Икония някои иудеи и, когато апостолите разискваха дръзновено, те убедиха народа да ги напусне, думайки: не говорите нищо истинно, а за всичко лъжете; като надумаха народа, набиха Павла с камъни и го извлякоха вън от града, мислейки го за мъртъв.
20 А когато учениците се събраха около него, той стана и отиде в града, а на другия ден се оттегли с Варнава в Дервия.
21 След като проповядваха Евангелието в тоя град и придобиха доста ученици, те се върнаха в Листра, Икония и Антиохия,
22 (G)като утвърдяваха душите на учениците, като ги увещаваха да постоянствуват във вярата, и поучаваха, че през много скърби трябва да влезем в царството Божие.
23 А като им ръкоположиха презвитери за всяка църква, помолиха се с пост и ги повериха на Господа, в Когото бяха повярвали.
24 И като минаха през Писидия, дойдоха в Памфилия;
25 и след като говориха словото Господне в Пергия, слязоха в Аталия;
26 (H)а оттам отплуваха за Антиохия, отдето бяха предадени на Божията благодат за делото, което и свършиха.
27 Като пристигнаха и събраха църквата, разказаха всичко, каквото Бог бе сторил с тях и как Той отвори вратата на вярата за езичниците.
28 И там стояха немалко време с учениците.
Gevurot 14
Orthodox Jewish Bible
14 Now it came about in Iconium that together they entered into the shul and the same thing transpired: they spoke with the result that both Yehudim and a great multitude of Yevanim became ma’aminim hameshichiyim.
2 And the Yehudim who disobeyed were the ones who aroused and stirred up in anger the nefashot (souls) of the Goyim keneged (against) the Achim b’Moshiach.
3 Therefore, they continued for a long zman (time) speaking with ometz lev (boldness) for Hashem, who gave edut to the dvar of Chen v’Chesed Hashem by granting otot and moftim to take place by the hands of Moshiach’s Shluchim.
4 And the multitude of the city was divided, and some were with the [disobedient, 14:2] Yehudim but, others, with the Moshiach’s Shluchim.
5 And when an attempt came by both the Goyim and the Yehudim with their rashim (heads, leaders) to mistreat and to stone them,
6 when the Moshiach’s Shluchim became aware of this, they fled to the cities of Lycaonia, Lystra, and Derbe, and the surrounding countryside.
7 And there the Moshiach’s Shluchim were preaching the Besuras HaGeulah.
8 And a certain ish in Lystra, powerless in his feet, was sitting, pise’ach from womb of his Em, a man who had never walked.
9 This one heard Rav Sha’ul speaking, and when he gazed at the man and saw that he has emunah (faith) to be restored to health,
10 Rav Sha’ul said in a kol gadol, "Stand upright on your feet." And the man jumped up and was walking around. [Ezek 2:1]
11 And the multitudes, when they saw what Rav Sha’ul did, shouted in the Lycaonian language, saying, "The g-ds, having been made like anashim, have come down to us."
12 And they were calling Bar-Nabba "Zeus" and Rav Sha’ul "Hermes," vi-bahlt (since) Rav Sha’ul was the main speaker.
13 And the priest of Zeus was outside the city and brought bulls and flower wreaths to the gates; he and the multitudes wanted to offer pagan korbanot (sacrifices).
14 But having heard this, the Moshiach’s Shlichim Bar-Nabba and Rav Sha’ul tore their kaftans and rushed out into the crowd, crying out,
15 "Anashim, why are you doing these things? We also are of the same nature as you, mere men, preaching to you to turn in teshuva from these worthless things to the Elohim Chayyim who made HASHOMAYIM V’ES HAARETZ V’ES HAYAM and all the things in them; [1Sm 12:21; Gn 1:1; Ps 146:6; Ex 20:11]
16 "In the dorot having passed, Hashem allowed all the Goyim to go their own way. [Ps 81:12; Mic 4:5]
17 "And yet Hashem did not leave himself without an eidus (witness) in doing hatovim to you, giving geshem from Shomayim and seasons of bearing p’ri, filling you with okhel and your levavot with simcha." [Dt 11:14; Job 5:10; Ps 65:10; 4:7; 147:20]
18 And even saying these things, it was with difficulty that Moshiach’s Shlichim restrained the multitudes from offering pagan korbanot to them. [AMOS 9:11 TARGUM HASHIVIM; YIRMEYAH 12:15; YESHAYAH 45:21]
19 Then [disobedient] Yehudim came from Pisidian Antioch and Iconium and, having won over the crowds and having stoned Rav Sha’ul, they were dragging him outside the city, thinking he was dead.
20 And after the Moshiach’s talmidim had surrounded Rav Sha’ul, he got up and entered the city. And on the next day he went with Bar-Nabba to Derbe.
21 And having preached the Besuras HaGeulah in that city and having made many talmidim, they returned to Lystra and to Iconium and to Pisidian Antioch,
22 Strengthening the nefashot (souls) of Moshiach’s talmidim, encouraging them to remain in the [Orthodox Jewish] emunah (faith), and exhorting them that through tzarot rabbot it is necessary for us to enter into the Malchut Hashem.
23 And having chosen for messianic s’michah Zekenim to be installed in every one of Moshiach’s Kehillot, and having davened with tzomot, the Moshiach’s Shlichim commended them to Adoneinu in whom they had emunah.
24 And having gone through Pisidia, they came to Pamphylia.
25 And having spoken the dvar Hashem in Perga, they went down to Attalia.
26 And from there, they sailed away to Syrian Antioch, their point of origin from which they had been commended to the Chen v’Chesed Hashem to the Messianic avodas kodesh which they had completed.
27 Upon their arrival in Syrian Antioch, they assembled the Moshiach’s Kehillah there, and were reporting what Hashem had done with them and how he had opened for the Nations a sha’ar of emunah.
28 And they were spending not a little zman with the talmidim.
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.
