Asia MinorHistorically Verified
Identified by inscriptions found at the site in Turkey. The book of Acts describes Paul visiting here.
A city in the region of Lycaonia in southern Asia Minor. Paul and Barnabas fled here after Paul was stoned and left for dead in Lystra (Acts 14:20). They won many disciples in Derbe. Paul's coworker Gaius was from Derbe (Acts 20:4). Paul revisited the city on his second and third missionary journeys.
