4. The people of the city were divided; some sided with the Jews, others with the apostles.
5. There was a plot afoot among both Gentiles and Jews, together with their leaders, to ill-treat them and stone them.
6. But they found out about it and fled to the Lycaonian cities of Lystra and Derbe and to the surrounding country,
7. where they continued to preach the gospel.
8. In Lystra there sat a man who was lame. He had been that way from birth and had never walked.
9. He listened to Paul as he was speaking. Paul looked directly at him, saw that he had faith to be healed
10. and called out, ‘Stand up on your feet!’ At that, the man jumped up and began to walk.
11. When the crowd saw what Paul had done, they shouted in the Lycaonian language, ‘The gods have come down to us in human form!’
12. Barnabas they called Zeus, and Paul they called Hermes because he was the chief speaker.
13. The priest of Zeus, whose temple was just outside the city, brought bulls and wreaths to the city gates because he and the crowd wanted to offer sacrifices to them.
