Preaching In Iconium

1 And it came to pass in Iconium that they together entered into the synagogue of the Jews, and so spake that there believed, both of Jews and Greeks, a great throng.

1 In (A)Iconium (B)they entered the synagogue of the Jews together, and spoke in such a manner (C)that a large number of people believed, both of Jews and of (D)Greeks.

1 And it came to pass in Iconium, that they went both together into the synagogue of the Jews, and so spake, that a great multitude both of the Jews and also of the Greeks believed.

1 The same thing happened in Iconium; they entered the Jewish synagogue and spoke in such a way that a great number of both Jews and Greeks believed.(A)

1 In Iconium, Paul and Barnabas went into the Jewish synagogue and spoke in such a way that a great number of both Jews and Greeks believed.

2 But, the unpersuaded Jews, roused up and provoked the souls of them of the nations against the brethren.

2 But (E)the Jews who (a)(F)disbelieved stirred up the (b)minds of the Gentiles and embittered them against (G)the brethren.

2 But the unbelieving Jews stirred up the Gentiles, and made their minds evil affected against the brethren.

2 But the Jews who refused to believe stirred up and poisoned the minds of the Gentiles against the brothers.(B)

2 But the Jews who refused to believe stirred up the gentiles and poisoned their minds against the brothers.

3 A good while, therefore, tarried they, using boldness of speech in dependence upon the Lord, who was bearing witness unto his word of favour, granting signs and wonders to be coming to pass through their hands.

3 Therefore they spent a long time there (H)speaking boldly with reliance upon the Lord, who was testifying to the word of His grace, granting that (c)(I)signs and wonders be done by their hands.

3 Long time therefore abode they speaking boldly in the Lord, which gave testimony unto the word of his grace, and granted signs and wonders to be done by their hands.

3 So they stayed there for some time and spoke boldly in reliance on the Lord, who testified to the message of His grace by granting that signs and wonders be performed through them.(C)

3 They stayed there a considerable time and continued to speak boldly for the Lord, who kept affirming his word of grace and granting signs and wonders to be done by them.

4 And the throng of the city was divided; and some indeed were with the Jews, while some were with the apostles.

4 (J)But the (d)people of the city were divided; and some (e)sided with (K)the Jews, and some with (L)the apostles.

4 But the multitude of the city was divided: and part held with the Jews, and part with the apostles.

4 But the people of the city were divided, some siding with the Jews and some with the apostles.(D)

4 But the people of the city were divided. Some were with the Jews, while others were with the apostles.

5 But, when there took place an assault both of them of the nations and of the Jews, with their rulers, to maltreat and to stone them,

5 And when an attempt was made by both the Gentiles and (M)the Jews with their rulers, to mistreat and to (N)stone them,

5 And when there was an assault made both of the Gentiles, and also of the Jews with their rulers, to use them despitefully, and to stone them,

5 When an attempt was made by both the Gentiles and Jews, with their rulers, to assault and stone them,

5 Now when an attempt was made by both gentiles and Jews, along with their authorities, to mistreat and stone them,

6 They became aware of it, and fled unto the cities of Lycaonia, Lystra and Derbe, and the surrounding country;

6 they became aware of it and fled to the cities of (O)Lycaonia, (P)Lystra and (Q)Derbe, and the surrounding region;

6 They were ware of it, and fled unto Lystra and Derbe, cities of Lycaonia, and unto the region that lieth round about:

6 they found out about it and fled to the Lycaonian towns called Lystra and Derbe, and to the surrounding countryside.(E)

6 Paul and Barnabas found out about it and fled to the Lycaonian towns of Lystra and Derbe and to the surrounding territory.

7 And, there, were they announcing the glad tidings.

7 and there they continued to (R)preach the gospel.

7 And there they preached the gospel.

7 And there they kept evangelizing.(F)

7 There they kept talking about the good news.

Mistaken For Gods In Lystra

8 And, a certain man in Lystra, impotent in his feet, was sitting, - lame from his mother's womb, who never had walked.

8 At (S)Lystra (T)a man was sitting who had no strength in his feet, lame from his mother’s womb, who had never walked.

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

8 In Lystra a man without strength in his feet, lame from birth,(a) and who had never walked, sat

8 Now in Lystra there was a man sitting down who couldn't use his feet. He had been crippled from birth and had never walked.

9 This man, hearkened unto Paul, as he was speaking, - who, looking steadfastly at him, and seeing he had faith to be made well,

9 This man was listening to Paul as he spoke, who, (U)when he had fixed his gaze on him and had seen that he had (V)faith to be (f)made well,

9 The same heard Paul speak: who stedfastly beholding him, and perceiving that he had faith to be healed,

9 and heard Paul speaking. After observing him closely and seeing that he had faith to be healed,

9 He was listening to Paul as he spoke. Paul watched him closely, and when he saw that he had faith to be healed,

10 Said, with a loud voice - Stand up on thy feet, erect! And he sprang up, and began to walk about.

10 said with a loud voice, “Stand upright on your feet.” (W)And he leaped up and began to walk.

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

10 Paul said in a loud voice, “Stand upright on your feet!” And he jumped up and started to walk around.(G)

10 he said in a loud voice, "Stand up straight on your feet!" Then the man jumped up and began to walk.

11 And, the multitudes, seeing what Paul had done, lifted up their voice, in the speech of Lycaonia - The gods, made like unto men, have come down unto us!

11 When the crowds saw what Paul had done, they raised their voice, saying in the (X)Lycaonian language, “(Y)The gods have become like men and have come down to us.”

11 And when the people saw what Paul had done, they lifted up their voices, saying in the speech of Lycaonia, The gods are come down to us in the likeness of men.

11 When the crowds saw what Paul had done, they raised their voices, saying in the Lycaonian language, “The gods have come down to us in the form of men!”(H)

11 When the crowds saw what Paul had done, they shouted in the Lycaonian language, "The gods have become like men and have come down to us!"

12 And they went on to call Barnabas, Jupiter, and Paul, Mercury, seeing that, he, was the leader of discourse.

12 And they began calling Barnabas, (g)Zeus, and Paul, (h)Hermes, because he was (i)the chief speaker.

12 And they called Barnabas, Jupiter; and Paul, Mercurius, because he was the chief speaker.

12 And they started to call Barnabas, Zeus, and Paul, Hermes, because he was the main speaker.

12 They began to call Barnabas Zeus, and Paul Hermes, because he was the main speaker.

13 Also, the priest of the Jupiter that was before the city, bringing bulls and garlands unto the gates, with the multitudes, would have offered sacrifice.

13 The priest of Zeus, whose temple was (j)just outside the city, brought oxen and garlands to the gates, and (Z)wanted to offer sacrifice with the crowds.

13 Then the priest of Jupiter, which was before their city, brought oxen and garlands unto the gates, and would have done sacrifice with the people.

13 Then the priest of Zeus, whose temple was just outside the town, brought oxen and garlands to the gates. He, with the crowds, intended to offer sacrifice.

13 The priest of the temple of Zeus, which was just outside the city, brought bulls and garlands to the gates. He and the crowds wanted to offer sacrifices.

14 But the apostles Barnabas and Paul, hearing of it, rending asunder their own mantles, sprang forward amidst the multitude, crying aloud,

14 But when (AA)the apostles Barnabas and Paul heard of it, they (AB)tore their (k)robes and rushed out into the crowd, crying out

14 Which when the apostles, Barnabas and Paul, heard of, they rent their clothes, and ran in among the people, crying out,

14 The apostles Barnabas and Paul tore their robes when they heard this and rushed into the crowd, shouting:(I)

14 But when the apostles Barnabas and Paul heard of it, they tore their clothes and rushed out into the crowd, shouting,

15 and saying - Men! Why, these things, are ye doing? We also, of like nature with you, are men, bringing you the good news, that from these vain things, ye should be turning unto a living God: - Who made heaven and the earth and the sea and all things therein;

15 and saying, “Men, why are you doing these things? We are also (AC)men of the same nature as you, and (AD)preach the gospel to you that you should turn from these (l)(AE)vain things to a (AF)living God, (AG)who made the heaven and the earth and the sea and all that is in them.

15 And saying, Sirs, why do ye these things? We also are men of like passions with you, and preach unto you that ye should turn from these vanities unto the living God, which made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and all things that are therein:

15 “Men! Why are you doing these things? We are men also, with the same nature as you, and we are proclaiming good news to you, that you should turn from these worthless things(J) to the living God, who made the heaven, the earth, the sea, and everything in them.(K)(b)

15 "Men, why are you doing this? We are merely human beings with natures like yours. We are telling you the good news so you'll turn from these worthless things to the living God, who made heaven and earth, the sea, and everything in them.

16 Who in the bygone generations suffered all the nations to be going on in their own ways, -

16 (m)In the generations gone by He (AH)permitted all the (n)nations to (AI)go their own ways;

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

16 In past generations He allowed all the nations(L) to go their own way,

16 In past generations he allowed all the nations to go their own ways,

17 Although, not without witness, he left himself, doing good, from heaven, upon you, giving rain and fruitful seasons, filling, with food and gladness, your hearts.

17 and yet (AJ)He did not leave Himself without witness, in that He did good and (AK)gave you rains from heaven and fruitful seasons, (o)satisfying your hearts with food and gladness.”

17 Nevertheless he left not himself without witness, in that he did good, and gave us rain from heaven, and fruitful seasons, filling our hearts with food and gladness.

17 although He did not leave Himself without a witness,(M) since He did what is good by giving you rain from heaven and fruitful seasons(N) and satisfying your(c) hearts with food and happiness.”

17 yet he has not abandoned his witness: he continues to do good, to give you rain from heaven, to give you fruitful seasons, and to fill you with food and your hearts with joy."

18 Even these things, saying, scarcely restrained they the multitudes from offering sacrifice unto them.

18 Even saying these things, with difficulty they restrained the crowds from offering sacrifice to them.

18 And with these sayings scarce restrained they the people, that they had not done sacrifice unto them.

18 Even though they said these things, they barely stopped the crowds from sacrificing to them.

18 Even by saying this, it was all Paul and Barnabas could do to keep the crowds from offering sacrifices to them.

Paul Stoned At Lystra

19 But there came thither, from Antioch and Iconium, Jews, and, persuading the multitudes, and stoning Paul, they dragged him outside the city, supposing him to be dead.
