The disciples' gathering around Paul after he was stoned and left for dead in Lystra ( Acts 14:19) demonstrates the early Christian practice of communal care and prayer. This reflects the teachings of Jesus on the importance of fellowship and support within the body of Christ ( Matthew 18:20). The act of gathering could also imply prayer for Paul's recovery, reminiscent of the early church's prayer for Peter's release from prison ( Acts 12:5). he got up
Paul's recovery and ability to stand up after being stoned is seen as a miraculous event, suggesting divine intervention. This act of getting up can be compared to the resurrection power of Christ, who rose from the dead, symbolizing victory over death and suffering. It also echoes the resilience and perseverance that Paul often speaks about in his letters, such as in2 Corinthians 4:8-9, where he describes being "struck down, but not destroyed." and went back into the city
Paul's return to Lystra, the very place where he was attacked, demonstrates his courage and commitment to his mission. This action reflects the teachings of Jesus about loving one's enemies and turning the other cheek (Matthew 5:39). It also highlights Paul's dedication to spreading the Gospel despite persecution, as he later writes inRomans 8:35-39 about the inseparability of believers from the love of Christ, even in the face of hardship. And the next day he left with Barnabas for Derbe
This phrase marks the continuation of Paul and Barnabas's missionary journey. Derbe was a city in the region of Lycaonia, part of modern-day Turkey. The journey to Derbe signifies the spread of the Gospel to new territories, fulfilling the Great Commission (Matthew 28:19-20). The partnership between Paul and Barnabas exemplifies the biblical principle of working together in ministry, as seen inEcclesiastes 4:9-10, which speaks of the benefits of companionship and mutual support. Their mission in Derbe would further establish the early church and strengthen the believers in that region. Persons / Places / Events 1.

How does Acts 14:19’s account of Paul surviving stoning align with historical or medical plausibility?
Where can the Holy Spirit be found?
Why does Acts 14:11-13 depict the Lystrans calling Barnabas 'Zeus' and Paul 'Hermes,' yet no external records confirm such events?
How many disciples did Jesus appear to after his resurrection: Twelve (1 Cor 15:5) or Eleven (Matt 27:3-5; Acts 1:9-26; Matt 28:16; Mark 16:14; Luke 24:9, 33)?(20) Howbeit, as the disciples stood round about him.--They, it is obvious, had been powerless to prevent the attack; but they stole out, when all was over, it may be, with the purpose of giving at least a decent interment. We may fairly think of Lois, and Eunice, and Timotheus, as present in that crowd, weeping first for sorrow, and then for exceeding joy, to find that the teacher whom they loved was stunned only, and not dead. He departed with Barnabas to Derbe.--The journey was one that must have occupied several hours, and we do well to remember that after the suffering of the previous day, it must have been one of peculiar hardship and fatigue. The city of Derbe was, as has been said, twenty miles to the east of Lystra. It was just within the Cappadocian boundary of Isauria. The exact site has not been identified, but the ruins of an Acropolis have been found not far from the lakeAk-Ghieul,which have been supposed to be the remains of Derbe. The whole region was infamous for its brigandage, and there may be a reference to this in the "perils of robbers" of2Corinthians 11:26. Verse 20.- But for howbeit, A.V.; entered for came, A.V.; on the morrow for the next day, A.V.; went forth for departed, A.V. It is pleasing to observe the fidelity of the converts, who, in the face of violence and death, clave to the apostle, even when they thought he was dead. It does not appear how Barnabas escaped.
