You were running well. Who hindered you from continuing to obey the truth? " - Galatians 5:7

"... on the next day he left with Bar´na·bas for Der´be. 21 And after declaring the good news to that city and making quite a few disciples, they returned to Lys´tra and to I·co´ni·um and to Antioch, 22 strengthening the souls of the disciples, encouraging them to remain in the faith and [saying]: “We must enter into the kingdom of God through many tribulations." Acts 14: 20-22 (New World Translation : ACTS)

NOTE: There is no record of Paul’s meeting physical resistance at Derbe, and he makes no mention of the city many years later when recounting his sufferings at other places in its vicinity.

Acts 14:21-23

• Injured Paul travels 60 miles (2 maybe 3 days journey) to DERBE*
• Good response to the good news "quite a few" listened
• Maybe Gaius (of Derbe) came in the truth then
  
  
  
  *Imagine being left for dead one day and making a 60-mile (100 km) journey the next, and that without modern transportation! (w13 2/15 p. 28 par 15)
