Lystra » One of two cities of lycaonia, to which paul and barnabas fled from persecutions in iconium
The same heard Paul preach: which beheld him, and perceived that he had faith to be whole, and said with a loud voice, "Stand upright on thy feet." And he started up, and walked. And when the people saw what Paul had done, they lift up their voices, saying in the speech of Lycaonia, "Gods are come down to us in the likeness of men." And they called Barnabas, Jupiter; and Paul, Mercury, because he was the preacher. Then Jupiter's priest, which dwelt before their city, brought oxen and garlands unto the gate, and would have done sacrifice with the people. But when the apostles, Barnabas and Paul heard that, they rent their clothes, and ran in among the people, crying and saying, "Sirs, why do ye this? We are mortal men like unto you, and preach unto you that ye should turn from these vanities unto the living God, which made heaven and earth and the sea and all that in them is, the which in times past suffered all nations to walk in their own ways. Nevertheless, he left not himself without witness, in that he showed his benefits, in giving us rain from heaven and fruitful seasons, filling our hearts with food and gladness." And with these sayings, scarce restrained they the people, that they had not done sacrifice unto them. Thither came certain Jews from Antioch and Iconium, and obtained the peoples' consent, and stoned Paul: and drew him out of the city, supposing he had been dead. Howbeit, as the disciples stood round about him, he arose up and came into the city. And the next day he departed with Barnabas to Derbe. After they had preached to that city, and had taught many, they returned again to Lystra, and to Iconium and Antioch, and strengthened the disciples souls: exhorting them to continue in the faith, affirming that we must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God. And when they had ordained them elders by election in every congregation, after they had prayed and fasted, they commended them to God on whom they believed.
