Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Hebrew equivalents for the city of Lystra, as it is a specific location mentioned in the New Testament Greek text.

Usage: Lystra was a city in the Roman province of Galatia, located in what is now modern-day Turkey. It is mentioned in the New Testament as a place where the Apostle Paul and Barnabas preached the gospel during their missionary journeys. Lystra is notable for being the site of a miraculous healing performed by Paul, which led to a misunderstanding and subsequent persecution.

Cultural and Historical Background: Lystra was a small, rural town in the region of Lycaonia. It was a Roman colony, which meant it had a significant Roman influence in terms of culture and governance. The population was likely a mix of native Lycaonians, Greeks, and Romans. The city was known for its pagan worship, particularly of the gods Zeus and Hermes, which is evident from the reaction of the people to Paul's miracle (Acts 14:8-18).
