ACTS 14:14 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“Which when the apostles, Barnabas and Paul, heard of, they rent their clothes, and ran in among the people, crying out,”
But when the apostles Barnabas and Paul heard of this, they tore their clothes and rushed out into the crowd — the apostles' horror-stricken response (diaschizō himatia, tearing clothes) is the traditional Jewish gesture of protest against blasphemy or sacrilege. This reaction underscores that Paul and Barnabas identify themselves with Jewish monotheism, not pagan plurality.
