At
Lystra a man was sitting who had no strength in his feet, lame from his mother's
womb, who had never walked. This man was listening to Paul as he spoke, who, when
he had fixed his gaze on him and had seen that he had faith to be made well, said
with a loud voice, "Stand upright on your feet." And he leaped up and began to
walk. When the crowds saw what Paul had done, they raised their voice, saying
in the Lycaonian language, "The gods have become like men and have come down to
us." And they began calling Barnabas, Zeus, and Paul, Hermes, because he was the
chief speaker, The priest of Zeus, whose temple was just outside the city, brought
oxen and garlands to the gates, and wanted to offer sacrifice with the crowds.
But when the apostles Barnabas and Paul heard of it, they tore their robes and
rushed out into the crowd, crying out and saying, "Men, why are you doing these
things? We are also men of the same nature as you, and preach the gospel to you
that you should turn from these vain things to a living God, WHO MADE THE HEAVEN
AND THE EARTH AND THE SEA AND ALL THAT IS IN THEM...
