11 And G1161 when the people G3793 saw G1492 what G3739 Paul G3972 had done, G4160 they lifted up G1869 their G846 voices, G5456 saying G3004 in the speech of Lycaonia, G3072 The gods G2316 are come down G2597 to G4314 us G2248 in the likeness G3666 of men. G444
12 And G5037 they called G2564 Barnabas, G921 G3303 Jupiter; G2203 and G1161 Paul, G3972 Mercurius, G2060 because G1894 he G846 was G2258 the chief G2233 speaker. G3056
13 Then G1161 the priest G2409 of Jupiter, G2203 which G3588 was G5607 before G4253 their G846 city, G4172 brought G5342 oxen G5022 and G2532 garlands G4725 unto G1909 the gates, G4440 and would G2309 have done sacrifice G2380 with G4862 the people. G3793
14 Which when G1161 the apostles, G652 Barnabas G921 and G2532 Paul, G3972 heard G191 of, they rent G1284 their G846 clothes, G2440 and ran G1530 in among G1519 the people, G3793 crying out, G2896
15 And G2532 saying, G3004 Sirs, G435 why G5101 do ye G4160 these things? G5130 We G2249 also G2532 are G2070 men G444 of like passions G3663 with you, G5213 and preach G2097 unto you G5209 that ye should turn G1994 from G575 these G5023 vanities G3152 unto G1909 the living G2198 God, G2316 which G3739 made G4160 heaven, G3772 and G2532 earth, G1093 and G2532 the sea, G2281 and G2532 all things G3956 that are therein: G1722 G846
16 Who G3739 in G1722 times G1074 past G3944 suffered G1439 all G3956 nations G1484 to walk G4198 in their own G846 ways. G3598
17 Nevertheless G2544 G2532 he left G863 not G3756 himself G1438 without witness, G267 in that he did good, G15 and gave G1325 us G2254 rain G5205 from heaven, G3771 and G2532 fruitful G2593 seasons, G2540 filling G1705 our G2257 hearts G2588 with food G5160 and G2532 gladness. G2167
18 And G2532 with these G5023 sayings G3004 scarce G3433 restrained they G2664 the people, G3793 that they had G2380 not G3361 done sacrifice G2380 unto them. G846
19 And G1161 there came thither G1904 certain Jews G2453 from G575 Antioch G490 and G2532 Iconium, G2430 who G2532 persuaded G3982 the people, G3793 and, G2532 having stoned G3034 Paul, G3972 drew G4951 him out of G1854 the city, G4172 supposing G3543 he G846 had been dead. G2348
