14 But when the Apostles, Barnabas and Paul heard it, they rent their clothes, and ran in among the people, crying,
15 [a]And saying, O men, why do ye these things? We are even men subject to the [b]like passions that ye be, and preach unto you, that ye should turn from these [c]vain things unto the living God, (A)which made heaven and earth, and the sea, and all things that in them are:
16 [d]Who in times past (B)[e]suffered all the Gentiles to walk in their own ways.
