Acts 14:1

At Iconium the Apostles went together to the Jewish synagogue and preached, with the result that a great number both of Jews and Greeks believed.

Now in Iconium they went together to the Synagogue of the Jews and gave such teaching that a great number of Jews and Greeks had faith.

And it came to pass in Iconium, that they entered together into the synagogue of the Jews, and so spoke that a very great multitude both of the Jews and of the Greeks did believe.

Acts 14:2

But the Jews who had refused obedience stirred up the Gentiles and embittered their minds against the brethren.

But those Jews who had not the faith, made the minds of the Gentiles bitter against the brothers.

But the unbelieving Jews stirred up and incensed the minds of the Gentiles against the brethren.

Acts 14:3

Yet Paul and Barnabas remained there for a considerable time, speaking freely and relying on the Lord, while He bore witness to the Message of His grace by permitting signs and marvels to be done by them.

So they kept there for a long time, taking heart in the Lord, who gave witness to the word of his grace by causing signs and wonders to be done by their hands.

A long time therefore they abode there, dealing confidently in the Lord, who gave testimony to the word of his grace, granting signs and wonders to be done by their hands.

Acts 14:4

At length the people of the city split into parties, some siding with the Jews and some with the Apostles.

But there was a division among the people of the town; some were on the side of the Jews and some on the side of the Apostles.

And the multitude of the city was divided; and some of them indeed held with the Jews, but some with the apostles.

Acts 14:5

And when a hostile movement was made by both Gentiles and Jews, with the sanction of their magistrates, to maltreat and stone them,

And when a violent attempt was made by the Gentiles and the Jews, with their rulers, to make an attack on them and have them stoned,

And when there was an assault made by the Gentiles and the Jews with their rulers, to use them contumeliously, and to stone them:

Acts 14:6

the Apostles, having become aware of it, made their escape into the Lycaonian towns of Lystra and Derbe, and the neighbouring country.

Having got news of it, they went in flight to the towns of Lycaonia, Lystra, and Derbe, and the country round about:

They understanding it, fled to Lystra, and Derbe, cities of Lycaonia, and to the whole country round about, and were there preaching the gospel.

Acts 14:7

And there they continued to tell the Good News.

And went on preaching the good news there.

And there sat a certain man at Lystra, impotent in his feet, a cripple from his mother's womb, who never had walked.

Acts 14:8

Now a man who had no power in his feet used to sit in the streets of Lystra. He had been lame from his birth and had never walked.

And at Lystra there was a certain man, who from birth had been without the use of his feet, never having had the power of walking.

This same heard Paul speaking. Who looking upon him, and seeing that he had faith to be healed,

Acts 14:9

After this man had listened to one of Paul's sermons, the Apostle, looking steadily at him and perceiving that he had faith to be cured,

This man was giving ear to the preaching of Paul, who, looking at him, and seeing that he had faith to be made well,

Said with a loud voice: Stand upright on thy feet. And he leaped up, and walked.

Acts 14:10

said in a loud voice, "Stand upright upon your feet!"

Said in a loud voice, Get up on your feet. And, jumping up, he went walking about.

And when the multitudes had seen what Paul had done, they lifted up their voice in the Lycaonian tongue, saying: The gods are come down to us in the likeness of men;

Acts 14:11

So he sprang up and began to walk about. Then the crowds, seeing what Paul had done, rent the air with their shouts in the Lycaonian language, saying, "The gods have assumed human form and have come down to us."

And when the people saw what Paul had done, they said in a loud voice, in the language of Lycaonia, The gods have come down to us in the form of men.

And they called Barnabas, Jupiter: but Paul, Mercury; because he was chief speaker.

Acts 14:12

They called Barnabas `Zeus,' and Paul, as being the principal speaker, `Hermes.'

And they gave the name of Jupiter to Barnabas, and to Paul that of Mercury, because he was the chief talker.

The priest also of Jupiter that was before the city, bringing oxen and garlands before the gate, would have offered sacrifice with the people.

Acts 14:13

And the priest of Zeus the temple of Zeus being at the entrance to the city brought bullocks and garlands to the gates, and in company with the crowd was intending to offer sacrifices to them.

And the priest of the image of Jupiter, which was before the town, took oxen and flowers to the doors of the town, and was about to make an offering with the people.

Which, when the apostles Barnabas and Paul had heard, rending their clothes, they leaped out among the people, crying,

Acts 14:14

But the Apostles, Barnabas and Paul, heard of it; and tearing their clothes they rushed out into the middle of the crowd, exclaiming, "Sirs, why are you doing all this?

But when this came to the ears of the Apostles, Paul and Barnabas, they went running out among the people, parting their clothing, and crying out,

And saying: Ye men, why do ye these things? We also are mortals, men like unto you, preaching to you to be converted from these vain things, to the living God, who made the heaven, and the earth, and the sea, and all things that are in them:

Acts 14:15

We also are but men, with natures kindred to your own; and we bring you the Good News that you are to turn from these unreal things, to worship the ever-living God, the Creator of earth and sky and sea and of everything that is in them.

Good people, why are you doing these things? We are men with the same feelings as you, and we give you the good news so that you may be turned away from these foolish things to the living God, who made the heaven and the earth and the sea and all things in them:

Who in times past suffered all nations to walk in their own ways.

Acts 14:16

In times gone by He allowed all the nations to go their own ways;

Who in the past let all nations go in the ways which seemed good to them.

Nevertheless he left not himself without testimony, doing good from heaven, giving rains and fruitful seasons, filling our hearts with food and gladness.

Acts 14:17

and yet by His beneficence He has not left His existence unattested His beneficence, I mean, in sending you rain from Heaven and fruitful seasons, satisfying your hearts with food and joyfulness."

But he was not without witness, because he did good, and gave you rain from heaven and times of fruit, making your hearts full of food and joy.

And speaking these things, they scarce restrained the people from sacrificing to them.

Acts 14:18

Even with words like these they had difficulty in preventing the thronging crowd from offering sacrifices to them.

And even with these words, it was hard for them to keep the people from making an offering to them.

And when they had preached the gospel to that city, and had taught many, they returned again to Lystra, and to Iconium, and to Antioch:

Acts 14:21
