Acts 14:14-20

New International Version

¹⁴ But when the apostles Barnabas and Paul heard of this, they tore their clothes^(A) and rushed out into the crowd, shouting: ¹⁵ “Friends, why are you doing this? We too are only human,^(B) like you. We are bringing you good news,^(C) telling you to turn from these worthless things^(D) to the living God,^(E) who made the heavens and the earth^(F) and the sea and everything in them.^{(G) 16} In the past, he let^(H) all nations go their own way.^{(I) 17} Yet he has not left himself without testimony:^(J) He has shown kindness by giving you rain from heaven and crops in their seasons;^(K) he provides you with plenty of food and fills your hearts with joy.”^{(L) 18} Even with these words, they had difficulty keeping the crowd from sacrificing to them.

¹⁹ Then some Jews^(M) came from Antioch and Iconium^(N) and won the crowd over. They stoned Paul^(O) and dragged him outside the city, thinking he was dead. ²⁰ But after the disciples^(P) had gathered around him, he got up and went back into the city. The next day he and Barnabas left for Derbe.
