When Paul and Barnabas preached the gospel in Derbe, many wereconverted.A. Of the Derbe converts only one has come down to us by name,that being Gaius, a later fellow-traveler with Paul.B. Acts 20:4, He ws accompanied by Sopater son of Pyrrhus fromBerea, Aristarchus and Secundus from Thessalonica, Gaiusfrom Derbe, Timothy also, and Tychicus and Trophimus fromthe province of Asia.II. After having preached the gospel in Derbe, Paul and Barnabas hadthe courage to return to the places that had only relatively recently beenplaces of extreme danger.A.
