Acts 14:15 CPDV

¹³  And as soon as the Apostles, Barnabas and Paul, had heard this, tearing their tunics, they leapt into the crowd, crying out

¹⁴  and saying: 'Men, why would you do this? We also are mortals, men like yourselves, preaching to you to be converted, from these vain things, to the living God, who made heaven and earth and the sea and all that is in them.

¹⁵  In previous generations, he permitted all nations to walk in their own ways.

¹⁶  But certainly, he did not leave himself without testimony, doing good from heaven, giving rains and fruitful seasons, filling their hearts with food and gladness.'

¹⁷  And by saying these things, they were barely able to restrain the crowds from immolating to them.
