Mercurius in the Bible

(A pagan god; Mercury (to the Romans); Hermes (to the Greeks)) Paul taken for, in Lycaonia

  • Acts 14:11-12 And when the people saw what Paul had done, they lifted up their voices, saying in the speech of Lycaonia, The gods are come down to us in the likeness of men. 12 And they called Barnabas, Jupiter; and Paul, Mercurius, because he was the chief speaker.
