11 And the crowds, having seen what Paul had done, lifted up their voice in Lycaonian, saying, “The gods have come down to us, having become like men!” 12 And Barnabas they began calling Zeus; and Paul, Hermes, because he was the leading speaker. 13 And the priest of Zeus, being just outside the city, having brought oxen and wreaths to the gates, was desiring with the crowds to sacrifice. 14 But the apostles Barnabas and Paul, having heard, having torn their garments, rushed out into the crowd, crying out 15 and saying, “Men, why do you? do these things? We also are men of like nature with you?, proclaiming the gospel to you? to turn from these vain things to the living God, who made the heaven and the earth and the sea and all the things in them, Acts 14:11-15, Berean Literal Bible.
