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.

“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 E n las generaciones pasadas él ha dejado a todas las gentes andar en sus propios caminos;

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

17 s i bien no se dejó a sí mismo sin testimonio, haciendo bien, dándonos lluvias del cielo y estaciones del año fructíferas, llenando de sustento y de alegría nuestros corazones.
