Lystra » One of two cities of lycaonia, to which paul and barnabas fled from persecutions in iconium
one day he heard Paul preach, who fixing his eyes upon him, and perceiving that he expected to be cured, he said to him aloud, rise and stand right upon your feet: upon which he leap'd up and walk'd. When the people saw what Paul had done, they cry'd out in the Lycaonian tongue, the Gods have assum'd a human form, and are descended among us. Barnabas, they stiled Jupiter; and Paul, Mercury, because he was the chief speaker. even the priest of Jupiter, whose statue was at the city-gates, brought oxen and garlands there, and together with the people, would have offer'd sacrifice to the apostles. but Paul and Barnabas being appriz'd of it, tore their clothes, and throwing themselves among the crowd, cry'd out, "sirs, what are you going to do? we are but men as well as you, and we exhort you to renounce these vanities, and turn to the living God, who made the heaven, the earth and the sea, and all that they contain: who in past ages has let all Nations proceed in their own ways. nevertheless he sufficiently display'd himself by his beneficence to mankind, in giving us rain from heaven, and fruitful seasons, replenishing our hearts with food and gladness." but whatever they could say, it was with difficulty that they restrain'd the people from sacrificing to them. Now some Jews being arriv'd from Antioch and Iconium, work'd so upon the people, that they stoned Paul, and dragg'd him out of the city, supposing he had been dead. but the disciples being gather'd about him, he rose up and went into the city, from whence he departed the next day with Barnabas to go to Derbe. After they had preach'd the gospel in that city, and made many disciples, they retook the road to Lystra, Iconium and Antioch, encouraging the disciples, exhorting them to persevere in the faith, representing that it is thro' much tribulation that we must enter into the kingdom of God. and after they had by prayers and fastings establish'd Pastors for them in every church, they recommended them to the Lord in whom they had believed.
