Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Of uncertain derivation.Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Hebrew equivalents for the Greek term Λύστρα, as it is a proper noun referring to a specific geographical location in the New Testament context. Usage: The term Λύστρα appears in the New Testament, specifically in the Acts of the Apostles, as a location visited by Paul during his missionary journeys. Context: Lystra was a city in the Roman province of Galatia, situated in the region of Lycaonia. It is mentioned in the New Testament as a significant site in the early Christian missionary efforts. The Apostle Paul visited Lystra during his first missionary journey, as recorded in Acts 14:6-20. In Lystra, Paul and Barnabas were initially received with enthusiasm, and the locals even attempted to offer sacrifices to them, mistaking them for gods (Acts 14:11-13, BSB). However, the mood quickly turned, and Paul was stoned and left for dead outside the city (Acts 14:19, BSB). Despite this, Paul returned to Lystra on his second missionary journey, where he met Timothy, a young disciple who would become a close companion and co-worker in the ministry (Acts 16:1-3, BSB). Lystra is significant in the New Testament narrative as a place where the Gospel was preached amidst both acceptance and persecution, illustrating the challenges and triumphs of early Christian evangelism.
