Acts 14:6

4 But the multitude of the city was ^adivided: part sided with the Jews, and part with the ^bapostles.

5 And when a violent attempt was made by both the Gentiles and Jews, with their rulers, ^ato abuse and stone them,

6 they became aware of it and ^afled to Lystra and Derbe, cities of Lycaonia, and to the surrounding region.

7 And they were preaching the gospel there.

Idolatry at Lystra

8 ^aAnd 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.¹ Paul, observing him intently and seeing that he had faith to be healed,

10 said with a loud voice, ^a“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, ^a“The gods have come down to us in the likeness of men!”

12 And Barnabas they called Zeus, and Paul, Hermes, because he was the chief speaker.
