📚 Contexto Histórico
In the book of Acts, Paul and Barnabas were on a missionary journey, preaching the Gospel in various cities of the ancient Roman Empire. In Lystra, after Paul healed a lame man, the local people mistakenly thought they were gods like Zeus (known as Jupiter to the Romans) and prepared to worship them with sacrifices, reflecting the common polytheistic culture where cities had temples and priests dedicated to multiple deities. This event highlights the clash between early Christian teaching and prevailing pagan practices.
