Paul visited this city again on his second missionary tour. [12] Timothy, a young disciple there, [13] was probably among those who on the previous occasion at Lystra witnessed Paul's persecution and courage. Timothy left Lystra to become the companion of Paul and Silas on the rest of the Second Missionary Journey.
