Thursday’s Bible Study—Acts of the Apostles (Acts 14:8-10)
Lesson: Lystra: A Lame Man
Healed & the Reaction (14:8-10) Part 1
Healed & the Reaction (14:8-10) Part 1
The principal episode of chapter 14 takes place in
Lystra. It begins with Paul healing a cripple there (Part 1: vs. 8-10). This
caused a remarkable reaction from the native Lystrans, who attempted to worship
the apostles as gods (Part 2: vs. 11-13). The attempted homage of the populous
prompted a strong protest from Paul and Barnabas, which was mainly expressed in
a brief sermon (Part 3: vs. 14-18).
Ironically, the Lystran ministry was concluded when the same crowd who
tried to worship Paul and Barnabas turned against Paul and tried to stone him
to death (Part 4: vs. 19-20a).
