Acts of the Apostles

When some of both the Gentiles and the Jews, with their rulers, made a violent attempt to insult them and to stone them,

they became aware of it, and fled to the cities of Lycaonia, Lystra, Derbe, and the surrounding region.

There they preached the gospel.

At Lystra a certain man sat, impotent in his feet, a cripple from his mother's womb, who never had walked.

He was listening to Paul speaking, who, fastening eyes on him, and seeing that he had faith to be made whole,

said with a loud voice, "Stand upright on your feet!" He leaped up and walked.

When the multitude saw what Paul had done, they lifted up their voice, saying in the language of Lycaonia, "The gods have come down to us in the likeness of men!"

They called Barnabas "Jupiter," and Paul "Mercury," because he was the chief speaker.
