Today: Antakya (Antioch on the Orontes), Turkey
An important city of Syria, about 15 miles (25 km) inland from the Mediterranean, in present-day Turkey. There was another Antioch in Pisidia, in central Turkey today.
There the disciples were first called "Christians" (Acts 11:26). The assembly sent Paul and Barnabas out from there on their first journey (Acts 13:1-3).
18And saying these things, they barely restrained the crowds from offering sacrifice to them.
19 · This verse (above)
20But when the disciples had gathered around him, he got up and entered into the city. And on the next day he went out with Barnabas to Derbe.
1. What it says
In Lystra, what does Paul do for the man who had never walked, and how does the crowd react? (vv. 8-13)
2. What it means
Why do Paul and Barnabas refuse to be treated as gods, and what do they say about themselves? (vv. 14-15)
3. How I live it
Paul and Barnabas encouraged the disciples to stay firm through hardship (v. 22). How can you encourage someone going through a hard time?
