Acts 14:8-28
Psalm 140:1-13
Proverbs 17:22
Question of the day: Why were the people of Lystra so easily swayed, thinking Paul and Barnabas were gods one moment, and stoning them the next?
The citizens of Lystra were happy to believe that Paul was Hermes and Barbabas was Zeus, as that would have fit in well with their worship of the Greek gods. They were not so easily convinced by their teaching that there was only one God, as that would go against everything that they believed, so when false charges were brought against Paul and Barnabas, they had no reason to protect them.
