Professor Horner’s Reading Plan

Read through the Bible in one year by reading 10 chapters a day from 10 different sections of the Bible using the Professor Grant Horner Bible reading plan.

Today, we are reading Luke 16; Exodus 1; Romans 4; Jude 1; Ecclesiastes 10; Psalms 88; Proverbs 21; Nehemiah 12; Zechariah 6; Acts 14.

Luke 16

1	And he said also unto his disciples, There was a certain rich man, which had a steward; and the same was accused unto him that he had wasted his goods.
2	And he called him, and said unto him, How is it that I hear this of thee? give an account of thy stewardship; for thou mayest be no longer steward.
3	Then the steward said within himself, What shall I do? for my lord taketh away from me the stewardship: I cannot dig; to beg I am ashamed.
4	I am resolved what to do, that, when I am put out of the stewardship, they may receive me into their houses.
5	So he called every one of his lord's debtors unto him, and said unto the first, how much owest thou unto my lord?
6	And he said, A hundred measures of oil. And he said unto him, Take thy bill, and sit down quickly, and write fifty.
7	Then said he to another, And how much owest thou? And he said, A hundred measures of wheat. And he said unto him, Take thy bill, and write fourscore.
8	And the lord commended the unjust steward, because he had done wisely: for the children of this world are in their generation wiser than the children of light.
9	And I say unto you, Make to yourselves friends of the mammon of unrighteousness; that, when ye fail, they may receive you into everlasting habitations.
10	He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much: and he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much.
11	If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches?
12	And if ye have not been faithful in that which is another man's, who shall give you that which is your own?
13	No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
14	And the Pharisees also, who were covetous, heard all these things: and they derided him.
15	And he said unto them, Ye are they which justify yourselves before men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God.
16	The law and the prophets were until John: since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presseth into it.
17	And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than one tittle of the law to fail.
18	Whosoever putteth away his wife, and marrieth another, committeth adultery: and whosoever marrieth her that is put away from her husband committeth adultery.
19	There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day:
20	And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores,
21	And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores.
22	And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried;
23	And in hell he lifted up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.
24	And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.
25	But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented.
26	And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence.
27	Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father's house:
28	For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment.
29	Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.
30	And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent.
31	And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead.

Exodus 1

1	Now these are the names of the children of Israel, which came into Egypt; every man and his household came with Jacob.
2	Reuben, Simeon, Levi, and Judah,
3	Issachar, Zebulun, and Benjamin,
4	Dan, and Naphtali, Gad, and Asher.
5	And all the souls that came out of the loins of Jacob were seventy souls: for Joseph was in Egypt already.
6	And Joseph died, and all his brethren, and all that generation.
7	And the children of Israel were fruitful, and increased abundantly, and multiplied, and waxed exceeding mighty; and the land was filled with them.
8	Now there arose up a new king over Egypt, which knew not Joseph.
9	And he said unto his people, Behold, the people of the children of Israel are more and mightier than we:
10	Come on, let us deal wisely with them; lest they multiply, and it come to pass, that, when there falleth out any war, they join also unto our enemies, and fight against us, and so get them up out of the land.
11	Therefore they did set over them taskmasters to afflict them with their burdens. And they built for Pharaoh treasure cities, Pithom and Rameses.
12	But the more they afflicted them, the more they multiplied and grew. And they were grieved because of the children of Israel.
13	And the Egyptians made the children of Israel to serve with rigor:
14	And they made their lives bitter with hard bondage, in mortar, and in brick, and in all manner of service in the field: all their service, wherein they made them serve, was with rigor.
15	And the king of Egypt spoke to the Hebrew midwives, of which the name of the one was Shiphrah, and the name of the other Puah:
16	And he said, When ye do the office of a midwife to the Hebrew women, and see them upon the stools; if it be a son, then ye shall kill him: but if it be a daughter, then she shall live.
17	But the midwives feared God, and did not as the king of Egypt commanded them, but saved the men children alive.
18	And the king of Egypt called for the midwives, and said unto them, Why have ye done this thing, and have saved the men children alive?
19	And the midwives said unto Pharaoh, Because the Hebrew women are not as the Egyptian women; for they are lively, and are delivered ere the midwives come in unto them.
20	Therefore God dealt well with the midwives: and the people multiplied, and waxed very mighty.
21	And it came to pass, because the midwives feared God, that he made them houses.
22	And Pharaoh charged all his people, saying, Every son that is born ye shall cast into the river, and every daughter ye shall save alive.

Romans 4

1	What shall we say then that Abraham our father, as pertaining to the flesh, hath found?
2	For if Abraham were justified by works, he hath whereof to glory; but not before God.
3	For what saith the Scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness.
4	Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt.
5	But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.
6	Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man, unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works,
7	Saying, Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered.
8	Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin.
9	Cometh this blessedness then upon the circumcision only, or upon the uncircumcision also? for we say that faith was reckoned to Abraham for righteousness.
10	How was it then reckoned? when he was in circumcision, or in uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision.
11	And he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had yet being uncircumcised: that he might be the father of all them that believe, though they be not circumcised; that righteousness might be imputed unto them also:
12	And the father of circumcision to them who are not of the circumcision only, but who also walk in the steps of that faith of our father Abraham, which he had being yet uncircumcised.
13	For the promise, that he should be the heir of the world, was not to Abraham, or to his seed, through the law, but through the righteousness of faith.
14	For if they which are of the law be heirs, faith is made void, and the promise made of none effect:
15	Because the law worketh wrath: for where no law is, there is no transgression.
16	Therefore it is of faith, that it might be by grace; to the end the promise might be sure to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham; who is the father of us all,
17	(As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were.
18	Who against hope believed in hope, that he might become the father of many nations, according to that which was spoken, So shall thy seed be.
19	And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about a hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sarah's womb:
20	He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God;
21	And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform.
22	And therefore it was imputed to him for righteousness.
23	Now it was not written for his sake alone, that it was imputed to him;
24	But for us also, to whom it shall be imputed, if we believe on him that raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead;
25	Who was delivered for our offenses, and was raised again for our justification.

Jude 1

1	Jude, the servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, to them that are sanctified by God the Father, and preserved in Jesus Christ, and called.
2	Mercy unto you, and peace, and love, be multiplied.
3	Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.
4	For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.
5	I will therefore put you in remembrance, though ye once knew this, how that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed them that believed not.
6	And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day.
7	Even as Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.
8	Likewise also these filthy dreamers defile the flesh, despise dominion, and speak evil of dignities.
9	Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee.
10	But these speak evil of those things which they know not: but what they know naturally, as brute beasts, in those things they corrupt themselves.
11	Woe unto them! for they have gone in the way of Cain, and ran greedily after the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the gainsaying of Korah.
12	These are spots in your feasts of charity, when they feast with you, feeding themselves without fear: clouds they are without water, carried about of winds; trees whose fruit withereth, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots;
13	Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness forever.
14	And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints,
15	To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him.
16	These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their own lusts; and their mouth speaketh great swelling words, having men's persons in admiration because of advantage.
17	But, beloved, remember ye the words which were spoken before of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ;
18	How that they told you there should be mockers in the last time, who should walk after their own ungodly lusts.
19	These be they who separate themselves, sensual, having not the Spirit.
20	But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost,
21	Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.
22	And of some have compassion, making a difference:
23	And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.
24	Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy,
25	To the only wise God our Savior, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen.

Ecclesiastes 10

1	Dead flies cause the ointment of the apothecary to send forth a stinking savor: so doth a little folly him that is in reputation for wisdom and honor.
2	A wise man's heart is at his right hand; but a fool's heart at his left.
3	Yea also, when he that is a fool walketh by the way, his wisdom faileth him, and he saith to every one that he is a fool.
4	If the spirit of the ruler rise up against thee, leave not thy place; for yielding pacifieth great offenses.
5	There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, as an error which proceedeth from the ruler:
6	Folly is set in great dignity, and the rich sit in low place.
7	I have seen servants upon horses, and princes walking as servants upon the earth.
8	He that diggeth a pit shall fall into it; and whoso breaketh a hedge, a serpent shall bite him.
9	Whoso removeth stones shall be hurt therewith; and he that cleaveth wood shall be endangered thereby.
10	If the iron be blunt, and he do not whet the edge, then must he put to more strength: but wisdom is profitable to direct.
11	Surely the serpent will bite without enchantment; and a babbler is no better.
12	The words of a wise man's mouth are gracious; but the lips of a fool will swallow up himself.
13	The beginning of the words of his mouth is foolishness: and the end of his talk is mischievous madness.
14	A fool also is full of words: a man cannot tell what shall be; and what shall be after him, who can tell him?
15	The labor of the foolish wearieth every one of them, because he knoweth not how to go to the city.
16	Woe to thee, O land, when thy king is a child, and thy princes eat in the morning!
17	Blessed art thou, O land, when thy king is the son of nobles, and thy princes eat in due season, for strength, and not for drunkenness!
18	By much slothfulness the building decayeth; and through idleness of the hands the house droppeth through.
19	A feast is made for laughter, and wine maketh merry: but money answereth all things.
20	Curse not the king, no not in thy thought; and curse not the rich in thy bedchamber: for a bird of the air shall carry the voice, and that which hath wings shall tell the matter.

Psalms 88

1	A Song or Psalm for the sons of Korah, to the chief Musician upon Mahalath Leannoth, Maschil of Heman the Ezrahite. O LORD God of my salvation, I have cried day and night before thee:
2	Let my prayer come before thee: incline thine ear unto my cry;
3	For my soul is full of troubles: and my life draweth nigh unto the grave.
4	I am counted with them that go down into the pit: I am as a man that hath no strength:
5	Free among the dead, like the slain that lie in the grave, whom thou rememberest no more: and they are cut off from thy hand.
6	Thou hast laid me in the lowest pit, in darkness, in the deeps.
7	Thy wrath lieth hard upon me, and thou hast afflicted me with all thy waves. Selah.
8	Thou hast put away mine acquaintance far from me; thou hast made me an abomination unto them: I am shut up, and I cannot come forth.
9	Mine eye mourneth by reason of affliction: LORD, I have called daily upon thee, I have stretched out my hands unto thee.
10	Wilt thou show wonders to the dead? shall the dead arise and praise thee? Selah.
11	Shall thy lovingkindness be declared in the grave? or thy faithfulness in destruction?
12	Shall thy wonders be known in the dark? and thy righteousness in the land of forgetfulness?
13	But unto thee have I cried, O LORD; and in the morning shall my prayer prevent thee.
14	LORD, why castest thou off my soul? why hidest thou thy face from me?
15	I am afflicted and ready to die from my youth up: while I suffer thy terrors I am distracted.
16	Thy fierce wrath goeth over me; thy terrors have cut me off.
17	They came round about me daily like water; they compassed me about together.
18	Lover and friend hast thou put far from me, and mine acquaintance into darkness.

Proverbs 21

1	The king's heart is in the hand of the LORD, as the rivers of water: he turneth it whithersoever he will.
2	Every way of a man is right in his own eyes: but the LORD pondereth the hearts.
3	To do justice and judgment is more acceptable to the LORD than sacrifice.
4	A high look, and a proud heart, and the plowing of the wicked, is sin.
5	The thoughts of the diligent tend only to plenteousness; but of every one that is hasty only to want.
6	The getting of treasures by a lying tongue is a vanity tossed to and fro of them that seek death.
7	The robbery of the wicked shall destroy them; because they refuse to do judgment.
8	The way of man is froward and strange: but as for the pure, his work is right.
9	It is better to dwell in a corner of the housetop, than with a brawling woman in a wide house.
10	The soul of the wicked desireth evil: his neighbor findeth no favor in his eyes.
11	When the scorner is punished, the simple is made wise: and when the wise is instructed, he receiveth knowledge.
12	The righteous man wisely considereth the house of the wicked: but God overthroweth the wicked for their wickedness.
13	Whoso stoppeth his ears at the cry of the poor, he also shall cry himself, but shall not be heard.
14	A gift in secret pacifieth anger: and a reward in the bosom strong wrath.
15	It is joy to the just to do judgment: but destruction shall be to the workers of iniquity.
16	The man that wandereth out of the way of understanding shall remain in the congregation of the dead.
17	He that loveth pleasure shall be a poor man: he that loveth wine and oil shall not be rich.
18	The wicked shall be a ransom for the righteous, and the transgressor for the upright.
19	It is better to dwell in the wilderness, than with a contentious and an angry woman.
20	There is treasure to be desired and oil in the dwelling of the wise; but a foolish man spendeth it up.
21	He that followeth after righteousness and mercy findeth life, righteousness, and honor.
22	A wise man scaleth the city of the mighty, and casteth down the strength of the confidence thereof.
23	Whoso keepeth his mouth and his tongue keepeth his soul from troubles.
24	Proud and haughty scorner is his name, who dealeth in proud wrath.
25	The desire of the slothful killeth him; for his hands refuse to labor.
26	He coveteth greedily all the day long: but the righteous giveth and spareth not.
27	The sacrifice of the wicked is abomination: how much more, when he bringeth it with a wicked mind?
28	A false witness shall perish: but the man that heareth speaketh constantly.
29	A wicked man hardeneth his face: but as for the upright, he directeth his way.
30	There is no wisdom nor understanding nor counsel against the LORD.
31	The horse is prepared against the day of battle: but safety is of the LORD.

Nehemiah 12

1	Now these are the priests and the Levites that went up with Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Jeshua: Seraiah, Jeremiah, Ezra,
2	Amariah, Malluch, Hattush,
3	Shechaniah, Rehum, Meremoth,
4	Iddo, Ginnetho, Abijah,
5	Miamin, Maadiah, Bilgah,
6	Shemaiah, and Joiarib, Jedaiah,
7	Sallu, Amok, Hilkiah, Jedaiah. These were the chief of the priests and of their brethren in the days of Jeshua.
8	Moreover the Levites: Jeshua, Binnui, Kadmiel, Sherebiah, Judah, and Mattaniah, which was over the thanksgiving, he and his brethren.
9	Also Bakbukiah and Unni, their brethren, were over against them in the watches.
10	And Jeshua begot Joiakim, Joiakim also begot Eliashib, and Eliashib begot Joiada,
11	And Joiada begot Jonathan, and Jonathan begot Jaddua.
12	And in the days of Joiakim were priests, the chief of the fathers: of Seraiah, Meraiah; of Jeremiah, Hananiah;
13	Of Ezra, Meshullam; of Amariah, Jehohanan;
14	Of Melicu, Jonathan; of Shebaniah, Joseph;
15	Of Harim, Adna; of Meraioth, Helkai;
16	Of Iddo, Zechariah; of Ginnethon, Meshullam;
17	Of Abijah, Zichri; of Miniamin, of Moadiah, Piltai;
18	Of Bilgah, Shammua; of Shemaiah, Jehonathan;
19	And of Joiarib, Mattenai; of Jedaiah, Uzzi;
20	Of Sallai, Kallai; of Amok, Eber;
21	Of Hilkiah, Hashabiah; of Jedaiah, Nethaneel.
22	The Levites in the days of Eliashib, Joiada, and Johanan, and Jaddua, were recorded chief of the fathers: also the priests, to the reign of Darius the Persian.
23	The sons of Levi, the chief of the fathers, were written in the book of the chronicles, even until the days of Johanan the son of Eliashib.
24	And the chief of the Levites: Hashabiah, Sherebiah, and Jeshua the son of Kadmiel, with their brethren over against them, to praise and to give thanks, according to the commandment of David the man of God, ward over against ward.
25	Mattaniah, and Bakbukiah, Obadiah, Meshullam, Talmon, Akkub, were porters keeping the ward at the thresholds of the gates.
26	These were in the days of Joiakim the son of Jeshua, the son of Jozadak, and in the days of Nehemiah the governor, and of Ezra the priest, the scribe.
27	And at the dedication of the wall of Jerusalem they sought the Levites out of all their places, to bring them to Jerusalem, to keep the dedication with gladness, both with thanksgivings, and with singing, with cymbals, psalteries, and with harps.
28	And the sons of the singers gathered themselves together, both out of the plain country round about Jerusalem, and from the villages of Netophathi;
29	Also from the house of Gilgal, and out of the fields of Geba and Azmaveth: for the singers had built them villages round about Jerusalem.
30	And the priests and the Levites purified themselves, and purified the people, and the gates, and the wall.
31	Then I brought up the princes of Judah upon the wall, and appointed two great companies of them that gave thanks, whereof one went on the right hand upon the wall toward the dung gate:
32	And after them went Hoshaiah, and half of the princes of Judah,
33	And Azariah, Ezra, and Meshullam,
34	Judah, and Benjamin, and Shemaiah, and Jeremiah,
35	And certain of the priests' sons with trumpets; namely, Zechariah the son of Jonathan, the son of Shemaiah, the son of Mattaniah, the son of Michaiah, the son of Zaccur, the son of Asaph:
36	And his brethren, Shemaiah, and Azarael, Milalai, Gilalai, Maai, Nethaneel, and Judah, Hanani, with the musical instruments of David the man of God, and Ezra the scribe before them.
37	And at the fountain gate, which was over against them, they went up by the stairs of the city of David, at the going up of the wall, above the house of David, even unto the water gate eastward.
38	And the other company of them that gave thanks went over against them, and I after them, and the half of the people upon the wall, from beyond the tower of the furnaces even unto the broad wall;
39	And from above the gate of Ephraim, and above the old gate, and above the fish gate, and the tower of Hananeel, and the tower of Meah, even unto the sheep gate: and they stood still in the prison gate.
40	So stood the two companies of them that gave thanks in the house of God, and I, and the half of the rulers with me:
41	And the priests; Eliakim, Maaseiah, Miniamin, Michaiah, Elioenai, Zechariah, and Hananiah, with trumpets;
42	And Maaseiah, and Shemaiah, and Eleazar, and Uzzi, and Jehohanan, and Malchijah, and Elam, and Ezer. And the singers sang loud, with Jezrahiah their overseer.
43	Also that day they offered great sacrifices, and rejoiced: for God had made them rejoice with great joy: the wives also and the children rejoiced: so that the joy of Jerusalem was heard even afar off.
44	And at that time were some appointed over the chambers for the treasures, for the offerings, for the firstfruits, and for the tithes, to gather into them out of the fields of the cities the portions of the law for the priests and Levites: for Judah rejoiced for the priests and for the Levites that waited.
45	And both the singers and the porters kept the ward of their God, and the ward of the purification, according to the commandment of David, and of Solomon his son.
46	For in the days of David and Asaph of old there were chief of the singers, and songs of praise and thanksgiving unto God.
47	And all Israel in the days of Zerubbabel, and in the days of Nehemiah, gave the portions of the singers and the porters, every day his portion: and they sanctified holy things unto the Levites; and the Levites sanctified them unto the children of Aaron.

Zechariah 6

1	And I turned, and lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and, behold, there came four chariots out from between two mountains; and the mountains were mountains of brass.
2	In the first chariot were red horses; and in the second chariot black horses;
3	And in the third chariot white horses; and in the fourth chariot grizzled and bay horses.
4	Then I answered and said unto the angel that talked with me, What are these, my lord?
5	And the angel answered and said unto me, These are the four spirits of the heavens, which go forth from standing before the Lord of all the earth.
6	The black horses which are therein go forth into the north country; and the white go forth after them; and the grizzled go forth toward the south country.
7	And the bay went forth, and sought to go that they might walk to and fro through the earth: and he said, Get you hence, walk to and fro through the earth. So they walked to and fro through the earth.
8	Then cried he upon me, and spoke unto me, saying, Behold, these that go toward the north country have quieted my spirit in the north country.
9	And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
10	Take of them of the captivity, even of Heldai, of Tobijah, and of Jedaiah, which are come from Babylon, and come thou the same day, and go into the house of Josiah the son of Zephaniah;
11	Then take silver and gold, and make crowns, and set them upon the head of Joshua the son of Josedech, the high priest;
12	And speak unto him, saying, Thus speaketh the LORD of hosts, saying, Behold the man whose name is The BRANCH; and he shall grow up out of his place, and he shall build the temple of the LORD:
13	Even he shall build the temple of the LORD; and he shall bear the glory, and shall sit and rule upon his throne; and he shall be a priest upon his throne: and the counsel of peace shall be between them both.
14	And the crowns shall be to Helem, and to Tobijah, and to Jedaiah, and to Hen the son of Zephaniah, for a memorial in the temple of the LORD.
15	And they that are far off shall come and build in the temple of the LORD, and ye shall know that the LORD of hosts hath sent me unto you. And this shall come to pass, if ye will diligently obey the voice of the LORD your God.

Acts 14

1	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 aware of it, and fled unto Lystra and Derbe, cities of Lycaonia, and into 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 steadfastly 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.
