Where did Paul perform a miracle and where was he stoned?
Paul performed a miracle in Lystra and was stoned in Derbe. These two cities were part of his first missionary journey in the Galatian region, and they were little cities located not far apart. The context notes he retraced his steps afterward back to Antioch.
Les explains that Paul performed a miracle in Lystra and was stoned in Derbe. He points out these were little cities, not that far apart, and they were part of the region of Paul's first missionary journey, which included Attica, Pisidia, Lystra, and Derbe. After spending time at the eastern end of Galatia, Paul and his companions retraced their steps and went back to Antioch. This took place before his second missionary journey, and it forms the background for the letter to the Galatians, which Paul wrote to the assemblies in that area who were being troubled by Judaizers.
