When Paul and Barnabas healed a cripple at Lystra, the people named them
When Paul and Barnabas healed a cripple at Lystra, the people named them Zeus and Hermes. This incident is recorded in Acts 14:8-12 (RSV):
8 Now at Lystra there was a man sitting, who could not use his feet; he was a cripple from birth, who had never walked. 9 He listened to Paul speaking; and Paul, looking intently at him and seeing that he had faith to be made well, 10 said in a loud voice, “Stand upright on your feet.” And he sprang up and walked. 11 And when the crowds saw what Paul had done, they lifted up their voices, saying in Lycao′nian, “The gods have come down to us in the likeness of men!” 12 Barnabas they called Zeus, and Paul, because he was the chief speaker, they called Hermes.
