44:014:011 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.

44:014:012 And they called Barnabas, Jupiter; and Paul, Mercurius,
           because he was the chief speaker.

44:014:013 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.

44:014:014 Which when the apostles, Barnabas and Paul, heard of, they
           rent their clothes, and ran in among the people, crying out,

44:014:015 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: 

44:014:016 Who in times past suffered all nations to walk in their own
           ways.

44:014:017 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.

44:014:018 And with these sayings scarce restrained they the people, that
           they had not done sacrifice unto them.

44:014:019 And there came thither certain Jews from Antioch and Iconium,
           who persuaded the people, and having stoned Paul, drew him out
           of the city, supposing he had been dead.

44:014:020 Howbeit, as the disciples stood round about him, he rose up,
           and came into the city:  and the next day he departed with
           Barnabas to Derbe.

44:014:021 And when they had preached the gospel to that city, and had
           taught many, they returned again to Lystra, and to Iconium,
           and Antioch,

44:014:022 Confirming the souls of the disciples, and exhorting them to
           continue in the faith, and that we must through much
           tribulation enter into the kingdom of God.

44:014:023 And when they had ordained them elders in every church, and
           had prayed with fasting, they commended them to the Lord, on
           whom they believed.

44:014:024 And after they had passed throughout Pisidia, they came to
           Pamphylia.

44:014:025 And when they had preached the word in Perga, they went down
           into Attalia: 

44:014:026 And thence sailed to Antioch, from whence they had been
           recommended to the grace of God for the work which they
           fulfilled.

44:014:027 And when they were come, and had gathered the church together,
           they rehearsed all that God had done with them, and how he had
           opened the door of faith unto the Gentiles.
