“And they called Barnabas, Jupiter; and Paul, Mercurius, because he was the chief speaker.”
“And they called Barnabas, Jupiter; and Paul, Mercury, because he was the chief speaker. ”
“They called Barnabas "Jupiter," and Paul "Mercury," because he was the chief speaker.”
“They began to call Barnabas Zeus and Paul Hermes, because he was the chief speaker.”
“The priest also of Jupiter that was before the city, bringing oxen and garlands before the gate, would have offered sacrifice with the people.”
“And they gave the name of Jupiter to Barnabas, and to Paul that of Mercury, because he was the chief talker.”
“And they called Barnabas, Jupiter; and Paul, Mercurius, because he was the chief speaker.”
This man was listening to Paul as he spoke, who, when he had fixed his gaze on him and had seen that he had faith to be made well,
said with a loud voice, "Stand upright on your feet." And he leaped up and began to walk.
When the crowds saw what Paul had done, they raised their voice, saying in the Lycaonian language, "The gods have become like men and have come down to us."
And they began calling Barnabas, Zeus, and Paul, Hermes, because he was the chief speaker.
The priest of Zeus, whose temple was just outside the city, brought oxen and garlands to the gates, and wanted to offer sacrifice with the crowds.
But when the apostles Barnabas and Paul heard of it, they tore their robes and rushed out into the crowd, crying out
and saying, "Men, why are you doing these things? We are also men of the same nature as you, and preach the gospel to you that you should turn from these vain things to a living God, WHO MADE THE HEAVEN AND THE EARTH AND THE SEA AND ALL THAT IS IN THEM.
