Question 1 Report

When Paul and Barnabas healed a cripple at Lystra, the people named them 
Answer Details
The people at Lystra named Paul and Barnabas as Zeus and Hermes after they healed a cripple. This was because the people believed that the two were gods and wanted to honor them as such. In Greek mythology, Zeus was the king of the gods and was associated with the sky and thunder, while Hermes was the messenger of the gods and was associated with commerce, communication, and cunning. The people at Lystra likely thought that Paul and Barnabas had divine powers and were showing their reverence by naming them after the gods.
