Topic: Lystra


  
  Lystra - International Standard Bible Encyclopedia
Lystra was visited by Paul 4 times (Acts 14:6,21; 16:1; 18:23 --the last according to the "South Galatian" theory), and is mentioned in 2 Timothy 3:10 f as one of the places where Paul suffered persecution.
Lystra owed its importance, and the attention which Paul paid to it, to the fact that it had been made a Roman colonia by Augustus (see ANTIOCH), and was therefore, in the time of Paul, a center of education and enlightenment.
The population of Lystra consisted of the local aristocracy of Roman soldiers who formed the garrison of the colonia, of Greeks and Jews (Acts 16:1,3), and of native Lycaonians (Acts 14:11).
