Context of Acts 14:7

5In the meantime, Paul and Barnabas found out that the non-Jewish people and the Jewish people with their rulers planned to attack them and stone them to death. 6So they escaped to Lystra and Derbe, cities of Lycaonia, and to the surrounding territory. They spread the Good News there. 8A man who was born lame was in Lystra. He was always sitting because he had never been able to walk. 9He listened to what Paul was saying. Paul observed him closely and saw that the man believed he could be made well.
