5. When there was an attempt by both the Gentiles and the Jews, together with their leaders, to attack and stone them,
6. they realized it and fled to the Lycaonian cities of Lystra and Derbe and to the surrounding countryside,
7. where they continued to proclaim the good news.
8. At Lystra there was a crippled man, lame from birth, who had never walked.
9. He listened to Paul speaking, who looked intently at him, saw that he had the faith to be healed,
10. and called out in a loud voice, “Stand up straight on your feet.” He jumped up and began to walk about.
11. When the crowds saw what Paul had done, they cried out in Lycaonian, “The gods have come down to us in human form.”
12. They called Barnabas “Zeus” and Paul “Hermes,” because he was the chief speaker.
13. And the priest of Zeus, whose temple was at the entrance to the city, brought oxen and garlands to the gates, for he together with the people intended to offer sacrifice.
14. The apostles Barnabas and Paul tore their garments when they heard this and rushed out into the crowd, shouting,
15. “Men, why are you doing this? We are of the same nature as you, human beings. We proclaim to you good news that you should turn from these idols to the living God, ‘who made heaven and earth and sea and all that is in them.’
