Lystra » One of two cities of lycaonia, to which paul and barnabas fled from persecutions in iconium
The same was hearing Paul speaking, who, looking intently on him, and perceiving that he had faith to be healed, said with a loud voice, "Stand up on your feet, erect!" And he leaped up, and was walking about. And the multitudes, seeing what Paul did, lifted up their voice in the language of Lycaonia, saying, "The gods, made like to men, came down to us!" And they were calling Barnabas, Jupiter; and Paul, Mercury, since he was the chief speaker. And the priest of Jupiter whose temple was before the city, having brought oxen and garlands to the gates, together with the multitudes, was wishing to offer sacrifice. But the apostles, Barnabas and Paul, hearing of it, having rent their garments, leaped forth among the multitude, crying out, and saying, "Men, why do ye these things? We also are men of like nature with you, proclaiming to you glad tidings, that ye should turn from these vanities to the living God, Who made the heaven, and the earth, and the sea, and all things that are in them; Who, in the past generations, suffered all the nations to walk in their own ways; and yet He left not Himself without witness, doing good, giving you rains from heaven, and fruitful seasons, filling your hearts with food and gladness." And, saying these things, they with difficulty restrained the multitude from offering sacrifice to them. But there came thither Jews from Antioch and Iconium; and, having persuaded the multitudes, and having stoned Paul, they drew him outside the city, supposing him to have died. But, the disciples having surrounded him, rising up, he entered into the city; and, on the following day, he departed with Barnabas to Derbe. And, having proclaimed the glad tidings to that city, and having made many disciples, they returned to Lystra, and Iconium, and Antioch; confirming the souls of the disciples, exhorting them to abide in the faith, and that through many tribulations we must enter into the Kingdom of God. And, having appointed elders for them in every assembly; and, having prayed with fastings, they commended them to the Lord on Whom they had believed.
