📚 Contexto Histórico
In the book of Acts, Paul and Barnabas were on their first missionary journey, traveling through regions like Asia Minor to share the Gospel with both Jews and Gentiles. In Lystra, after they healed a man who had been lame from birth, the local people, steeped in Greek and Roman pagan culture, mistakenly viewed the apostles as gods from their mythology. This led them to call Barnabas Jupiter, the chief deity, and Paul Mercurius, the god of communication, because Paul was the more prominent speaker during their ministry.
