Lystra:
This place has two points of interest in connection respectively with St. Paul's first and second missionary Journeys:
(1). as the place where divine honors were offered to him, and where he was presently stoned (Acts 14:1). …
(2). as the home of his chosen companion and fellow missionary Timotheus (Acts 16:1). Lystra was in the eastern part of the great plain of Lycaonia, and its site may be identified with the ruins called Bin‐bir‐Kilisseh, at the base of a conical mountain of volcanic structure, named the Karadagh.
The Blue Letter Bible ministry and the BLB Institute hold to the historical, conservative Christian faith, which includes a firm belief in the inerrancy of Scripture. Since the text and audio content provided by BLB represent a range of evangelical traditions, all of the ideas and principles conveyed in the resource materials are not necessarily affirmed, in total, by this ministry.
