Lystra was a Roman colony in the wild, mountainous district of Lycaonia in Asia Minor, established under Augustus and settled with military veterans; it was Timothy's hometown (2 Timothy 3:10-11; Acts 16:1). Paul preached there after being driven from Iconium and healed a man lame from birth, so impressing the crowd that they tried to offer sacrifices to Paul and Barnabas as Hermes and Zeus, an episode matched by inscriptions found near Lystra dedicating statues to that same local pairing of gods; the same crowd, stirred up by Paul's opponents, then stoned him and left him for dead (Acts 14:8-19).
