Healing in Lystra and Paul's Stoning

Acts 14:8-20

14
Chapter 14
8 A certain man powerless in his feet was sitting in Lystra, lame from his mother's womb, who never walked. 9 He heard Paul speaking. Paul fixed his gaze on him and saw that he had faith to be saved, 10 He said in a loud voice, "Stand up straight on your feet!" And he leaped up and began walking around. 11 When the crowds saw what Paul had done, they shouted in Lycaonian, "The gods have come down to us in human form!" 12 They called Barnabas Zeus, but Paul Hermes, since he was the leader in speaking. 13 The priest of Jupiter, the one before the city, brought bulls and garlands to the gates and, with the crowds, wanted to sacrifice. 14 But when the apostles Barnabas and Paul heard this, they tore their garments and rushed out into the crowd, crying out 15 and saying, "Men, why are you doing these things? We are of the same nature as you, and we are proclaiming the gospel to you, to turn from these vain things to the living God, who made the heaven and the earth and the sea and all things in them." 16 who in past generations allowed all the nations to walk in their own ways. 17 although he did not leave himself without witness, doing good by giving you rains from heaven and fruitful seasons, filling your hearts with food and gladness. 18 After saying these things, they barely restrained the crowds from sacrificing to them. 19 But Jews came from Antioch and Iconium, and having persuaded the crowds and stoned Paul, they dragged him outside the city, thinking he had died. 20 But the disciples gathered around him, and he got up and entered the city. The next day he went out with Barnabas to Derbe.
