Lexham English Bible
11 And when[a] the crowds saw what Paul had done, they raised their voices in the Lycaonian language, saying, “The gods have become like men and[b] have come down to us!” 12 And they began calling[c] Barnabas Zeus and Paul Hermes, because he was the principal speaker.[d] 13 And the priest of the temple[e] of Zeus that was just outside the city brought bulls and garlands to the gates and[f] was wanting to offer sacrifice, along with the crowds.
