Notes
the next day he left: Paul later returned to Lystra on his second missionary journey (16:1).
The crowd changed their minds when some Jews came from Antioch and Iconium and easily turned them against the apostles.
They stoned Paul and dragged him outside the city: Paul later referred to this time of persecution to teach a lesson (2 Timothy 3:11–12).
presuming he was dead: That Paul got up and went back into the city suggests that God healed his wounds with a miracle.
Paul healed a man who could not use his feet. This is similar to an earlier event in 3:1–12. In Acts, Paul’s work is shown as similar to Peter’s work. The many signs and wonders done among the Jews were also done among the Gentiles.
