After Acts 14:8-20
A
simple thing, really
a man
crippled
lame
from birth
listening
with faith
faith
sufficient to be
healed,
not the words
“stand
up and walk”
but
the faith, sufficient
They
would make us gods
they
would sacrifice bulls
with
wreaths they would
sacrifice
to us
a
blasphemy
our
shouting them down
barely
preventing sacrifices
I
am not Zeus
I
am not Hermes
the
crowd angry
they
want their gods
to
touch their gods
to
be given their sign
instead
of sacrificed bulls
they
give us stones
proving
we are not gods
