What happened at Lystra when Paul performed a miracle on his first missionary journey?

At Lystra on the first missionary journey, Paul performed a miracle, and the crowd was thrown into an uproar, believing he was a god. When they realized he was not a god, they turned on him, and the Jews also opposed him.

Les explains that this occurred during Paul’s first missionary journey, when he went up into central Turkey and traveled through Lystra and Derbe. At the little city of Lystra he had performed a miracle, which one might think would have settled everything. Instead, it got everybody in an uproar because they thought he was a god who could perform the miracle. Then it turned: when they suddenly realized he was not a god, they went on him, and the Jews were involved as well.
