Acts 14
King James Bible: Purple Letter EditionERP 
1And it came to pass in Iconium, that they went both together into the synagogue of the Jews, and so spoke {spake}, that a great multitude, both of the Jews and also of the Greeks, believed. 2But the unbelieving Jews stirred up the Gentiles, and made their minds evil affected against the brethren. 3A long time, therefore, abode they speaking boldly in the Lord, Who gave testimony unto the word of His grace, and granted signs and wonders to be done by their hands. 4But the multitude of the city was divided; and part held with the Jews, and part with the apostles.

5And when there was an assault made both of the Gentiles, and also of the Jews with their rulers, to use them despitefully, and to stone them, 6They were aware {ware} of it, and fled unto Lystra and Derbe, cities of Lycaonia, and unto the region that lieth round about; 7And there they preached the gospel. 8And there sat a certain man at Lystra, impotent in his feet, being a cripple from birth {his mother's womb}, who never had walked. 9The same heard Paul speak; who, steadfastly beholding him, and perceiving that he had faith to be healed, 10Said with a loud voice, Stand upright on thy feet. And he leaped and walked. 11And when the people saw what Paul had done, they lifted up their voices, saying in the speech of Lycaonia, The gods are come down to us in the likeness of men. 12And they called Barnabas, Jupiter; and Paul, Mercurius, because he was the chief speaker. 13Then the priest of Jupiter, whose temple {who} was before their city, brought oxen and garlands unto the gates, and would have done sacrifice with the people. 14Which when the apostles, Barnabas and Paul, heard of, they tore {rent} their clothes, and ran in among the people, crying out, 15And saying, Sirs, why do ye these things? We also are men of like passions with you, and preach unto you that ye should turn from these vanities unto the living God, Who made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and all things that are in them {therein}; 16Who in times past allowed {suffered} all nations to walk in their own ways. 17Nevertheless, He left not Himself without witness, in that He did good, and gave us rain from heaven, and fruitful seasons, filling our hearts with food and gladness. 18And with these sayings scarce restrained they the people, that they had not done sacrifice unto them.

19And there came there certain Jews from Antioch and Iconium, who persuaded the people, and, having stoned Paul, drew him out of the city, supposing he had been dead. 20Nevertheless {Howbeit}, as the disciples stood round about him, he rose up, and came into the city; and the next day he departed with Barnabas to Derbe.

21And when they had preached the gospel to that city, and had taught many, they returned again to Lystra, and to Iconium, and Antioch, 22Confirming the souls of the disciples, and exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that we must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God. 23And when they had ordained them elders in every church, and had prayed with fasting, they commended them to the Lord, on Whom they believed. 24And after they had passed throughout Pisidia, they came to Pamphylia. 25And when they had preached the word in Perga, they went down into Attalia; 26And from there {thence} sailed to Antioch, where {from whence} they had been recommended to the grace of God for the work which they fulfilled. 27And when they were come, and had gathered the church together, they reviewed {rehearsed} all that God had done with them, and how He had opened the door of faith unto the Gentiles. 28And there they abode a long time with the disciples.
