LYSTRA

City of Lycaonia, Roman colony.
Paul healed a paralytic in Lystra; The inhabitants of this city wanted to offer the apostle homage as if he were a god, and then, when he refused, they stoned him, leaving him for dead (Acts 14:6, 21; 2 Tim. 3:11).

It is at Lystra, or Derbe, that Paul met Timothy again (Acts 16:1, 2).
