The action takes place outside the city, at the gates. The second,, [B’-A’], is set within the city; it illustrates the response of hostile Jews, who come from Antioch and Iconium, where Paul has already made enemies among them, to put him to death. It is noteworthy that in Codex Bezae, Lystra is mentioned both in the opening element of the sequence (14.7c D05) and in the penultimate one (14.20a D05) of the sequence, underlining its unity; the second reference is absent from the ATAlexan- drian text.
