Деяния 14
Священное Писание (Восточный Перевод)
Служение в Конии
14 В Конии Паул и Варнава вошли, как обычно, в иудейский дом молитвы и говорили так убедительно, что поверило очень много людей из иудеев и других народов. 2 Однако иудеи, которые отказались им верить, возбудили язычников и настроили их против верующих. 3 Паул и Варнава провели там довольно много времени. Они смело говорили о Повелителе Исе, Который подтверждал весть о Своей благодати, давая им силу совершать знамения и чудеса. 4 Жители города разделились. Одни поддерживали отвергающих Ису иудеев, а другие – посланников. 5 Но когда язычники и отвергающие Ису иудеи вместе со своими начальниками захотели применить силу и побить их камнями, 6 те, узнав об этом, бежали в города Ликаонии, Листру и Дербию, и в их окрестности, 7 где продолжали возвещать Радостную Весть.
Служение в Листре
8 В Листре жил человек, не владевший ногами; он был хромым от рождения и никогда не ходил. 9 Он слушал то, что говорил Паул. Паул же посмотрел на него и увидел, что у того есть вера для исцеления.
10 – Встань на ноги твои прямо! – громко сказал он калеке.
Тот вскочил и начал ходить. 11 Люди увидели, что сделал Паул, и стали кричать на ликаонском языке:
– К нам сошли боги в образе людей!
12 Они назвали Варнаву Зевсом, а Паула Гермесом, потому что говорил в основном он.[a] 13 За городом был храм Зевса, и его жрец привёл к городским воротам быков и принёс венки, желая вместе с народом принести им жертву. 14 Когда же посланники Варнава и Паул услышали об этом, они от такого кощунства разорвали на себе одежду, кинулись в толпу и стали кричать:
15 – Опомнитесь, что вы делаете? Мы такие же люди, как и вы! Мы принесли вам Радостную Весть, и мы хотим, чтобы вы оставили этих ложных богов и обратились к живому Богу, Который создал небо и землю, море и всё, что в них[b]. 16 В прошлом Он позволял народам ходить каждому своими путями, 17 но продолжал свидетельствовать о Себе, делая добро, посылая вам дождь с небес и урожай в своё время, давая пищу и наполняя ваши сердца радостью.
18 Но даже этими словами им едва удалось убедить народ не приносить им жертву.
19 Однако некоторые иудеи, которые пришли из Антиохии и Конии, склонили толпу на свою сторону. Паула побили камнями и выволокли за город, думая, что он уже мёртв. 20 Но когда ученики собрались вокруг него, он поднялся и пошёл обратно в город. На следующий день они с Варнавой ушли в Дербию.
Возвращение в Сирийскую Антиохию
21 Они возвещали Радостную Весть в Дербии и приобрели много учеников. Затем они возвратились в Листру, Конию и Писидийскую Антиохию. 22 Там они ободряли учеников и воодушевляли их оставаться твёрдыми в вере.
– Нам предстоит испытать много скорбей перед тем, как мы войдём в Царство Всевышнего, – говорили они.
23 Паул и Варнава в каждой общине верующих назначили по несколько старейшин и, помолившись с постом, посвятили их Повелителю Исе, в Которого они поверили. 24 Затем они прошли Писидию и пришли в Памфилию. 25 Проповедовав слово в Пергии, они пришли в Анталью. 26 Из Антальи они отплыли обратно в Антиохию, где были вверены попечению Всевышнего на труд, который они и исполнили. 27 Вернувшись обратно, они собрали общину верующих и рассказали обо всём, что Всевышний совершил через них и как Он открыл дверь веры для язычников. 28 Там они пробыли довольно много времени вместе с учениками.
Acts 14
King James Version
14 And it came to pass in Iconium, that they went both together into the synagogue of the Jews, and so spake, that a great multitude both of the Jews and also of the Greeks believed.
2 But the unbelieving Jews stirred up the Gentiles, and made their minds evil affected against the brethren.
3 Long time therefore abode they speaking boldly in the Lord, which gave testimony unto the word of his grace, and granted signs and wonders to be done by their hands.
4 But the multitude of the city was divided: and part held with the Jews, and part with the apostles.
5 And 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,
6 They were ware of it, and fled unto Lystra and Derbe, cities of Lycaonia, and unto the region that lieth round about:
7 And there they preached the gospel.
8 And there sat a certain man at Lystra, impotent in his feet, being a cripple from his mother's womb, who never had walked:
9 The same heard Paul speak: who stedfastly beholding him, and perceiving that he had faith to be healed,
10 Said with a loud voice, Stand upright on thy feet. And he leaped and walked.
11 And 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.
12 And they called Barnabas, Jupiter; and Paul, Mercurius, because he was the chief speaker.
13 Then the priest of Jupiter, which was before their city, brought oxen and garlands unto the gates, and would have done sacrifice with the people.
14 Which when the apostles, Barnabas and Paul, heard of, they rent their clothes, and ran in among the people, crying out,
15 And 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, which made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and all things that are therein:
16 Who in times past suffered all nations to walk in their own ways.
17 Nevertheless 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.
18 And with these sayings scarce restrained they the people, that they had not done sacrifice unto them.
19 And there came thither 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.
20 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.
21 And when they had preached the gospel to that city, and had taught many, they returned again to Lystra, and to Iconium, and Antioch,
22 Confirming 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.
23 And when they had ordained them elders in every church, and had prayed with fasting, they commended them to the Lord, on whom they believed.
24 And after they had passed throughout Pisidia, they came to Pamphylia.
25 And when they had preached the word in Perga, they went down into Attalia:
26 And thence sailed to Antioch, from whence they had been recommended to the grace of God for the work which they fulfilled.
27 And when they were come, and had gathered the church together, they rehearsed all that God had done with them, and how he had opened the door of faith unto the Gentiles.
28 And there they abode long time with the disciples.
Acts 14
New King James Version
At Iconium
14 Now it happened in Iconium that they went together to the synagogue of the Jews, and so spoke that a great multitude both of the Jews and of the (A)Greeks believed. 2 But the unbelieving Jews stirred up the Gentiles and [a]poisoned their [b]minds against the brethren. 3 Therefore they stayed there a long time, speaking boldly in the Lord, (B)who was bearing witness to the word of His grace, granting signs and (C)wonders to be done by their hands.
4 But the multitude of the city was (D)divided: part sided with the Jews, and part with the (E)apostles. 5 And when a violent attempt was made by both the Gentiles and Jews, with their rulers, (F)to abuse and stone them, 6 they became aware of it and (G)fled to Lystra and Derbe, cities of Lycaonia, and to the surrounding region. 7 And they were preaching the gospel there.
Idolatry at Lystra
8 (H)And in Lystra a certain man without strength in his feet was sitting, a cripple from his mother’s womb, who had never walked. 9 This man heard Paul speaking. [c]Paul, observing him intently and seeing that he had faith to be healed, 10 said with a loud voice, (I)“Stand up straight on your feet!” And he leaped and walked. 11 Now when the people saw what Paul had done, they raised their voices, saying in the Lycaonian language, (J)“The gods have come down to us in the likeness of men!” 12 And Barnabas they called [d]Zeus, and Paul, [e]Hermes, because he was the chief speaker. 13 Then the priest of Zeus, whose temple was in front of their city, brought oxen and garlands to the gates, (K)intending to sacrifice with the multitudes.
14 But when the apostles Barnabas and Paul heard this, (L)they tore their clothes and ran in among the multitude, crying out 15 and saying, “Men, (M)why are you doing these things? (N)We also are men with the same nature as you, and preach to you that you should turn from (O)these useless things (P)to the living God, (Q)who made the heaven, the earth, the sea, and all things that are in them, 16 (R)who in bygone generations allowed all nations to walk in their own ways. 17 (S)Nevertheless He did not leave Himself without witness, in that He did good, (T)gave us rain from heaven and fruitful seasons, filling our hearts with (U)food and gladness.” 18 And with these sayings they could scarcely restrain the multitudes from sacrificing to them.
Stoning, Escape to Derbe
19 (V)Then Jews from Antioch and Iconium came there; and having persuaded the multitudes, (W)they stoned Paul and dragged him out of the city, supposing him to be (X)dead. 20 However, when the disciples gathered around him, he rose up and went into the city. And the next day he departed with Barnabas to Derbe.
Strengthening the Converts
21 And when they had preached the gospel to that city (Y)and made many disciples, they returned to Lystra, Iconium, and Antioch, 22 strengthening the souls of the disciples, (Z)exhorting them to continue in the faith, and saying, (AA)“We must through many tribulations enter the kingdom of God.” 23 So when they had (AB)appointed elders in every church, and prayed with fasting, they commended them to the Lord in whom they had believed. 24 And after they had passed through Pisidia, they came to Pamphylia. 25 Now when they had preached the word in Perga, they went down to Attalia. 26 From there they sailed to Antioch, where they had been commended to the grace of God for the work which they had completed.
27 Now when they had come and gathered the church together, (AC)they reported all that God had done with them, and that He had (AD)opened the door of faith to the Gentiles. 28 So they stayed there a long time with the disciples.
