Acts of the Apostles 14

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 In Iconium they entered the Jewish synagogue together and spoke in such a way that a great number of both Jews and Greeks came to believe,	1 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.
2 although the disbelieving Jews stirred up and poisoned the minds of the Gentiles against the brothers.	2 But the unbelieving Jews stirred up and incensed the minds of the Gentiles against the brethren.
3 So they stayed for a considerable period, speaking out boldly for the Lord, who confirmed the word about his grace by granting signs and wonders to occur through their hands.	3 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.
4 The people of the city were divided: some were with the Jews; others, with the apostles.	4 And the multitude of the city was divided; and some of them indeed held with the Jews, but some with the apostles.
5 When there was an attempt by both the Gentiles and the Jews, together with their leaders, to attack and stone them,	5 And when there was an assault made by the Gentiles and the Jews with their rulers, to use them contumeliously, and to stone them:
6 they realized it and fled to the Lycaonian cities of Lystra and Derbe and to the surrounding countryside,	6 They understanding it, fled to Lystra, and Derbe, cities of Lycaonia, and to the whole country round about, and were there preaching the gospel.
7 where they continued to proclaim the good news.	7 And there sat a certain man at Lystra, impotent in his feet, a cripple from his mother's womb, who never had walked.
8 At Lystra there was a crippled man, lame from birth, who had never walked.	8 This same heard Paul speaking. Who looking upon him, and seeing that he had faith to be healed,
9 He listened to Paul speaking, who looked intently at him, saw that he had the faith to be healed,	9 Said with a loud voice: Stand upright on thy feet. And he leaped up, and walked.
10 and called out in a loud voice, "Stand up straight on your feet." He jumped up and began to walk about.	10 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;
11 When the crowds saw what Paul had done, they cried out in Lycaonian, "The gods have come down to us in human form."	11 And they called Barnabas, Jupiter: but Paul, Mercury; because he was chief speaker.
12 They called Barnabas "Zeus" and Paul "Hermes," because he was the chief speaker.	12 The priest also of Jupiter that was before the city, bringing oxen and garlands before the gate, would have offered sacrifice with the people.
13 And the priest of Zeus, whose temple was at the entrance to the city, brought oxen and garlands to the gates, for he together with the people intended to offer sacrifice.	13 Which, when the apostles Barnabas and Paul had heard, rending their clothes, they leaped out among the people, crying,
14 The apostles Barnabas and Paul tore their garments when they heard this and rushed out into the crowd, shouting,	14 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:
15 "Men, why are you doing this? We are of the same nature as you, human beings. We proclaim to you good news that you should turn from these idols to the living God, 'who made heaven and earth and sea and all that is in them.'	15 Who in times past suffered all nations to walk in their own ways.
16 In past generations he allowed all Gentiles to go their own ways;	16 Nevertheless he left not himself without testimony, doing good from heaven, giving rains and fruitful seasons, filling our hearts with food and gladness.
17 yet, in bestowing his goodness, he did not leave himself without witness, for he gave you rains from heaven and fruitful seasons, and filled you with nourishment and gladness for your hearts."	17 And speaking these things, they scarce restrained the people from sacrificing to them.
18 Even with these words, they scarcely restrained the crowds from offering sacrifice to them.	18 Now there came thither certain Jews from Antioch, and Iconium: and persuading the multitude, and stoning Paul, drew him out of the city, thinking him to be dead.
19 However, some Jews from Antioch and Iconium arrived and won over the crowds. They stoned Paul and dragged him out of the city, supposing that he was dead.	19 But as the disciples stood round about him, he rose up and entered into the city, and the next day he departed with Barnabas to Derbe.
20 But when the disciples gathered around him, he got up and entered the city. On the following day he left with Barnabas for Derbe.	20 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:
21 After they had proclaimed the good news to that city and made a considerable number of disciples, they returned to Lystra and to Iconium and to Antioch.	21 Confirming the souls of the disciples, and exhorting them to continue in the faith: and that through many tribulations we must enter into the kingdom of God.
22 They strengthened the spirits of the disciples and exhorted them to persevere in the faith, saying, "It is necessary for us to undergo many hardships to enter the kingdom of God."	22 And when they had ordained to them priests in every church, and had prayed with fasting, they commended them to the Lord, in whom they believed.
23 They appointed presbyters for them in each church and, with prayer and fasting, commended them to the Lord in whom they had put their faith.	23 And passing through Pisidia, they came into Pamphylia.
24 Then they traveled through Pisidia and reached Pamphylia.	24 And having spoken the word of the Lord in Perge, they went down into Attalia:
25 After proclaiming the word at Perga they went down to Attalia.	25 And thence they sailed to Antioch, from whence they had been delivered to the grace of God, unto the work which they accomplished.
26 From there they sailed to Antioch, where they had been commended to the grace of God for the work they had now accomplished.	26 And when they were come, and had assembled the church, they related what great things God had done with them, and how he had opened the door of faith to the Gentiles.
27 And when they arrived, they called the church together and reported what God had done with them and how he had opened the door of faith to the Gentiles.	27 And they abode no small time with the disciples.
28 Then they spent no little time with the disciples.
