But the Jews who did not want to believe worked against those who were not Jews. They made them turn against the Christians.

They said that Barnabas was Jupiter. Paul was called Mercury because he spoke more than Barnabas.

The god of Jupiter was in a building near the gate leading into the city. The religious leader of that place brought cattle and flowers to the gate. He and many other people wanted to burn these as gifts in an act of worship to Paul and Barnabas.

When Paul and Barnabas heard this, they ran among the people. They tore their clothes and cried out,

15 e dizendo: Senhores, por que fazeis estas coisas? Nós também somos homens, de natureza semelhante ã vossa, e vos anunciamos o evangelho para que destas práticas vãs vos convertais ao Deus vivo, que fez o céu, a terra, o mar, e tudo quanto há neles;

“Why are you doing this? We are only men with feelings like yours. We preach the Good News that you should turn from these empty things to the living God. He made the heavens and the earth and the sea and everything in them.

16 o qual nos tempos passados permitiu que todas as nações andassem nos seus próprios caminhos.

Long ago He allowed all people to live the way they wanted to.

17 C ontudo não deixou de dar testemunho de si mesmo, fazendo o bem, dando-vos chuvas do céu e estações frutíferas, enchendo-vos de mantimento, e de alegria os vossos corações.

Even with these words it was hard for Paul and Barnabas to keep the people from burning cattle in an act of worship to them.
