Lystra » One of two cities of lycaonia, to which paul and barnabas fled from persecutions in iconium
This man heard Paul speaking, who, looking steadily at him and seeing that he had faith to be cured, said with a loud voice, Stand up erect on your feet. And he leaped, and walked. And the multitude seeing what Paul did, lifted up their voice in the language of Lycaonia, saying, The gods have come down to us in the likeness of men; and they called Barnabas, Jupiter, and Paul, Mercury, because he was a master of eloquence. And the priest of the Jupiter which was before the city brought bulls and garlands to the gates, and wished to offer sacrifices with the multitudes. But the apostles Barnabas and Paul hearing of it, rending their clothes ran among the multitude, crying and saying, Men, why do you do these things? We are also men subject to like sufferings with you, preaching that you should turn from these vain [services] to the living God, who made heaven and earth, and the sea, and all things in them, who in past generations permitted all nations to walk in their own ways; although indeed he left not himself without a witness, doing good, giving rains from heaven and fruitful seasons, filling our hearts with food and gladness. And saying these things they with difficulty restrained the multitudes from sacrificing to them. But Jews came from Antioch and Iconium, and having persuaded the multitudes, and having stoned Paul, they dragged him out of the city, supposing that he was dead. But while the disciples stood around him, he arose and entered into the city. And on the next day he went away with Barnabas to Derbe. And having preached the good news to that city, and made many disciples, they returned to Lystra, and Iconium, and Antioch, confirming the souls of the disciples, and exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that through many afflictions we must enter into the kingdom of God. And having appointed them elders in every church, and having prayed with fasting, they commended them to the Lord in whom they had believed.
