Derbe is roughly another 25 miles south of Lystra. It also is still unexcavated. Small ruins can be seen on either side of the road that cuts through the mound, called Devri Sehri. The gospel was well received here. Gaius, a later travel companion of Paul’s, was from Derbe. Derbe was the last recorded stop of the first missionary journey. Paul and Barnabas retraced their steps to confirm the converts in the previous cities (Acts 14:21-26). In verse 25 we learn that the missionaries this time at least preached the gospel in Perga. Then they sailed from Attalia back to Antioch of Syria.
