“They were ware of it, and fled unto Lystra and Derbe, cities of Lycaonia, and unto the region that lieth round about:”
Acts 14:6 (KJV)
Commentary on Acts 14:6
They were ware of it, and fled—The apostles' strategic retreat demonstrates wisdom, not cowardice. The Greek synidontes (being aware) suggests advance warning, possibly from converts. Jesus had instructed His disciples to flee persecution when possible (Matthew 10:23). Lystra and Derbe, cities of Lycaonia—fleeing to these less sophisticated cities provided temporary safety but also new mission fields. The phrase and unto the region that lieth round about shows continued evangelistic purpose during retreat. Flight wasn't abandonment but tactical repositioning for continued ministry.
