Hechos 14
Biblia del Jubileo
14 ¶ Y aconteció en Iconio, que entrados juntamente en la sinagoga de los judíos, hablaron de tal manera, que creyó una grande multitud de judíos, y asimismo de griegos.
2 Mas los judíos que fueron desobedientes, incitaron y corrompieron los ánimos de los gentiles contra los hermanos.
3 Con todo eso se detuvieron allí mucho tiempo, hablando con libertad en el Señor, el cual daba testimonio a la palabra de su gracia, dando que señales y milagros eran hechos por las manos de ellos.
4 Y el vulgo de la ciudad estaba dividido; y unos eran con los judíos, y otros con los apóstoles.
5 Y haciendo ímpetu los judíos y los gentiles juntamente con sus príncipes, para afrentarlos y apedrearlos,
6 habiéndolo entendido, huyeron a Listra y Derbe, ciudades de Licaonia, y por toda la tierra alrededor.
7 Y allí predicaban el Evangelio.
8 ¶ Y un hombre de Listra, impotente de los pies, estaba sentado, cojo desde el vientre de su madre, y jamás había andado.
9 Este oyó hablar a Pablo; el cual, como puso los ojos en él, y vio que tenía fe para ser sanado,
10 dijo a gran voz: Levántate derecho sobre tus pies. Y saltó, y anduvo.
11 Entonces la multitud, visto lo que Pablo había hecho, alzaron la voz, diciendo en lengua licaónica: Dioses semejantes a hombres han descendido a nosotros.
12 Y a Bernabé llamaban Júpiter, y a Pablo, Mercurio, porque era el que llevaba la palabra.
13 Y el sacerdote de Júpiter, que estaba delante de la ciudad de ellos, trayendo toros y guirnaldas delante de las puertas, quería con el pueblo sacrificarles.
14 Cuando lo oyeron los apóstoles Bernabé y Pablo, rotas sus ropas, se lanzaron a la multitud, dando voces,
15 y diciendo: Varones, ¿por qué hacéis esto? Nosotros también somos hombres semejantes a vosotros, que os anunciamos que de estas vanidades os convirtáis al Dios vivo, que hizo el cielo y la tierra, y el mar, y todo lo que está en ellos;
16 el cual en las generaciones pasadas ha dejado a todos los gentiles andar en sus caminos;
17 si bien no se dejó a sí mismo sin testimonio, haciendo bien, dándonos lluvias del cielo y tiempos fructíferos, llenando de sustento y de alegría nuestros corazones.
18 Y diciendo estas cosas, apenas apaciguaron la gente, para que no les ofrecieran sacrificio.
19 ¶ Entonces sobrevinieron unos judíos de Antioquía y de Iconio, que persuadieron a la multitud, y habiendo apedreado a Pablo, le sacaron fuera de la ciudad, pensando que ya estaba muerto.
20 Pero rodeándole los discípulos, se levantó y entró en la ciudad y un día después, salió con Bernabé a Derbe.
21 Y como hubieron anunciado el Evangelio a aquella ciudad, y enseñado a muchos, volvieron a Listra, y a Iconio, y a Antioquía,
22 confirmando los ánimos de los discípulos, exhortándoles a que permanecieran en la fe, y enseñándoles que es necesario que por muchas tribulaciones entremos en el Reino de Dios.
23 Y habiéndoles constituido ancianos en cada una de las Iglesias, y habiendo orado con ayunos, los encomendaron al Señor en el cual habían creído.
24 Y pasando por Pisidia vinieron a Panfilia.
25 Y habiendo predicado la Palabra en Perge, descendieron a Atalia;
26 y de allí navegaron a Antioquía, donde habían sido encomendados a la gracia de Dios para la obra que habían acabado.
27 Y habiendo llegado, y reunida la Iglesia, relataron cuán grandes cosas había hecho Dios con ellos, y cómo había abierto a los gentiles la puerta de la fe.
28 Y se quedaron allí mucho tiempo con los discípulos.
Acts 14
Revised Geneva Translation
14 And it so happened in Iconium that they went together into the synagogue of the Jews and spoke, so that a great multitude of both the Jews and the Hellenists believed.
2 And the unbelieving Jews stirred up and corrupted the minds of the Gentiles against the brothers.
3 So therefore they stayed there a long time, and spoke boldly in the Lord, Who gave testimony to the Word of His grace, and caused signs and wonders to be done by their hands.
4 But the multitude of the city was divided. And some were with the Jews, and some with the Apostles.
5 And when a violent attempt to stone them was made by both the Gentiles and the Jews, with their rulers,
6 they were made aware of it, and fled to Lystra and Derbe, cities of Lycaonia, and to the surrounding region,
7 and preached the Gospel there.
8 Now there sat a certain man at Lystra, without strength in his feet, who had been a cripple from his mother’s womb, and had never walked.
9 He heard Paul speak - who, looking at him and perceiving that he had faith to be healed,
10 said with a loud voice, “Stand upright on your feet!” - And he leaped up and walked.
11 Then, when the people saw what Paul had done, they lifted up their voices, saying in the Lycaonian language, “Gods have come down to us in the likeness of men!”
12 And they called Barnabas ‘Zeus’, and Paul ‘Hermes’, because he was the chief speaker.
13 Then the priest of Zeus, who dwelt in front of their city, brought bulls with garlands to the gates, and would have sacrificed with the people.
14 But when the Apostles Barnabas and Paul heard it, they tore their clothes, and ran in among the people, crying,
15 and saying, “O men, why do you do these things!? We are just men, subject to the same passions that you are. And we preach to you that you should turn from these meaningless things, to the living God; Who made Heaven and Earth, and the sea, and all things in them!
16 “Who in times past allowed all the Gentiles to walk in their own ways.
17 “Nevertheless, He did not leave Himself without witness, in that He did good, gave us rain from the heaven and fruitful seasons, filling our hearts with food and gladness.”
18 And, speaking these things, they scarcely restrained the multitude from sacrificing to them.
19 Then some Jews came from Antioch and Iconium who - when they had persuaded the people - stoned Paul and dragged him out of the city, supposing he was dead.
20 But as the disciples stood around him, he rose up, and came into the city. And the next day he left for Derbe with Barnabas.
21 And after they had preached the glad tidings of the Gospel to that city (and had taught many) they returned to Lystra, and to Iconium, and to Antioch,
22 confirming the disciples’ hearts and exhorting them to continue in the faith that we must enter into the Kingdom of God through many afflictions.
23 And when they had prayed and fasted and ordained them as elders by election in every church, they commended them to the Lord in Whom they believed.
24 Thus they went throughout Pisidia and came to Pamphylia.
25 And when they had preached the Word in Perga, they came down to Attalia,
26 And from there sailed to Antioch, where they had been commended to the grace of God for the work which they had fulfilled.
27 And when they had come and gathered the church together, they recounted all the things which God had done through them, and how He had opened the door of faith to the Gentiles.
28 So they stayed there with the disciples a long time.
Acts 14
New International Version
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)
