{Stood round about him} (kukl(9373)ant(936e) auton). Genitive
absolute with first aorist active participle of kuklo(935c), old
verb from kuklos (circle, cycle) to make a circle round, to
encircle. The would-be murderers left and a group of disciples
gathered round to see if Paul was dead or alive and, if dead, to
bury him. In that group Timothy may very well have been along
with Eunice and Barnabas. Timothy, a lad of about fifteen, would
not soon forget that solemn scene ( 2Ti 3:11 ). But Paul suddenly
(apparently a miraculous recovery) rose up (anastas) and
entered the city to the surprise and joy of the disciples who
were willing to brave persecution with Paul. {With Barnabas}
(sun t(9369) Barnab(8369)). With the assistance of Barnabas. It was
plainly unwise to continue in Lystra so that they set out on the
next day (	(8869) epaurion, ten times in Acts), shaken and bruised
as Paul was. Derbe was some forty miles distant, near the pass to
the Cilician Gates.
