    Description

    Lystra in the text

    In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

    Lystra was a city in the region of Lycaonia in Asia Minor (modern-day Turkey). Paul and Barnabas fled to Lystra and Derbe when they faced persecution in Iconium (Act.14.6). In Lystra, Paul healed a man who had been lame from birth, which caused the people to believe that Paul and Barnabas were gods (Act.14.8-18). However, Jews from Antioch and Iconium came to Lystra and stirred up the crowd against them, leading to Paul being stoned and left for dead outside the city (Act.14.19-20). Paul later returned to Lystra to strengthen the disciples (Act.14.21). Timothy, a young disciple who accompanied Paul on his missionary journeys, was from Lystra (Act.16.1-2).

    Relations

    Direct connections

    Every entity the graph places in a stated relation with this one, grouped by the kind of link. Each relation is authored once and its inverse derived, so both ends always agree. Rows marked “registry” come from the identity spine rather than from a verse, and a row marked “which bearer is the source’s decision” is one where the name could have meant more than one person. The last group is not a relation at all — it counts the events two entities stand in together.
