City of Lycaonia, in Asia Minor. Paul and Barnabas fled there from Iconium, and there cured a cripple, which caused the inhabitants to think they were gods, to whom they would have offered sacrifices had not the apostles restrained them. Soon afterward however, being incited by the Jews, they stoned Paul and left him for dead. The labors of the apostles were not in vain, an assembly of saints was gathered there. It was again visited by Paul on his second missionary journey, when he met with Timothy, and attached him to his mission (Acts 14:6-21; Acts 16:1-2; 2 Tim. 3:11).
