PAUL & BARNABAS MINISTERING IN LYSTRA
|
֎ Featuring 34 Paintings, 3 Maps and 1 Tapestry ֎
A C T S «Chapters 13-14» In the church at Antioch there were prophets and teachers: Barnabas, Simeon called Niger, Lucius of Cyrene, Manaen and Saul. While they were worshiping the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, “Set apart for me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them.” So after they had fasted and prayed, they placed their hands on them and sent them off.

4 Lystra, in ancient Galatia / modern Turkey Note that Paul was from Tarsus and so would have had some prior familiarity with Galatia
5 Source In Lystra there sat a man crippled in his feet, who was lame from birth and had never walked. He listened to Paul as he was speaking. Paul looked directly at him, saw that he had faith to be healed and called out, “Stand up on your feet!” At that, the man jumped up and began to walk.

11 JAN VAN DER STRAET "Saints Paul and Barnabas Preaching in Lystra" When the crowd saw what Paul had done, they shouted, “The gods have come down to us in human form!” Barnabas they called Zeus, and Paul they called Hermes because he was the chief speaker. The priest of Zeus, whose temple was just outside the city, brought bulls and wreaths to the city gates because he and the crowd wanted to offer sacrifices to them.
But when the apostles Barnabas and Paul heard of this, they tore their clothes and rushed out into the crowd, shouting: “Men, why are you doing this? We too are only men, human like you. We are bringing you good news, telling you to turn from these worthless things to the living God, who made heaven and earth and sea and everything in them. In the past, he let all nations go their own way. Yet he has not left himself without testimony: He has shown kindness by giving you rain from heaven and crops in their seasons; he provides you with plenty of food and fills your hearts with joy.” Even with these words, they had difficulty keeping the crowd from sacrificing to them.

But after the disciples had gathered around him, he got up and went back into the city. The next day he and Barnabas left for Derbe.

of these several important lessonsMy assumption is that everything in the Bible has a purpose, so all of it is worth illustrating--if the artists will oblige.

Thanks - you're the bestest!
Now, that's strange isn't it?...given the subject and all...
To: Hebrews 11:6
Hi Dan, thanks for posting this, a gravitational association between the Belt Stars of Orion and the Pleiades is something I’m not familiar with; ya got me on that one! I’m gonna have to look into that…
I love the Word of God describing the Heavens as we see them today.
It is quite a feeling that we are looking at the same stars, the same Sun and Moon and planets that all of God’s prophets, and Jesus himself looked upon.
To me, it makes a visual connection to the people and even events in the Bible.
Religion and Science, science and religion, they certainly do go hand-in-hand.
God is certainly the Master of it all.

To clarify, Pete: we're not asserting any association whatsoever between the Pleiades and Orion. Rather: the stars of the Pleiades cluster appear bound to one another, and they are in fact; the same is true of Orion's belt stars.

Lystra was a pagan city, the people thought Paul and Barnabas were the human incarnation of Jupiter and Mercury and wanted to venerate them.
