In Lystra and Derbe

⁸ And 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 listened to Paul as he spoke, who, ^(C)when he fixed his gaze on him and saw that he had ^(D)faith to be ^[a]saved from being lame, ¹⁰ said with a loud voice, “Stand upright on your feet.” ^(E)And he leaped up and began to walk. ¹¹ And 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 And the priest of Zeus, whose temple was ^[e]just outside the city, brought oxen and garlands to the gates, and ^(H)was wanting to offer sacrifice with the crowds. ¹⁴ But when ^(I)the apostles Barnabas and Paul heard of it, they ^(J)tore their garments 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, ^(L)proclaiming the gospel to you that you should turn from these ^[f](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. ^16 [g]In the generations gone by He ^(P)permitted all the ^[h]nations to ^(Q)go their own ways; ¹⁷ and yet ^(R)He did not leave Himself without witness, in that He did good and ^(S)gave you rains from heaven and fruitful seasons, filling your hearts with food and gladness.” ¹⁸ And saying these things, with difficulty they restrained the crowds from offering sacrifice to them.
