Acts 14:14 - Forerunner Commentary

Acts 14:14

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

13 Then the priest of Zeus, whose temple was in front of their city, brought oxen and garlands to the gates, ^aintending to sacrifice with the multitudes.

14 But when the apostles Barnabas and Paul heard this, ^athey tore their clothes and ran in among the multitude, crying out

15 and saying, “Men, ^awhy are you doing these things? ^bWe also are men with the same nature as you, and preach to you that you should turn from ^cthese useless things ^dto the living God, ^ewho made the heaven, the earth, the sea, and all things that are in them,

16 ^awho in bygone generations allowed all nations to walk in their own ways.

17 ^aNevertheless He did not leave Himself without witness, in that He did good, ^bgave us rain from heaven and fruitful seasons, filling our hearts with ^cfood and gladness.”
