6. they found out about it and fled to the Lycaonian towns called Lystra and Derbe, and to the surrounding countryside.
7. And there they kept evangelizing.
8. In Lystra a man without strength in his feet, lame from birth, and who had never walked, sat
9. and heard Paul speaking. After observing him closely and seeing that he had faith to be healed,
10. Paul said in a loud voice, “Stand upright on your feet! ” And he jumped up and started to walk around.
11. When the crowds saw what Paul had done, they raised their voices, saying in the Lycaonian language, “The gods have come down to us in the form of men! ”
12. And they started to call Barnabas, Zeus, and Paul, Hermes, because he was the main speaker.
13. Then the priest of Zeus, whose temple was just outside the town, brought oxen and garlands to the gates. He, with the crowds, intended to offer sacrifice.
