El Cojo de Listra

Paul stands among the people of Lystra as the man crippled from birth rises to his feet, his crutch lowered and his body newly upright. The gathered townspeople watch in astonishment beneath the stone archway, while the healed man reaches toward the apostle with wonder and gratitude. The scene depicts Acts 14:8-10, when Paul, seeing that the lame man had faith to be made well, commanded him, “Stand upright on your feet,” and the man sprang up and began walking.

The moment emphasizes the apostolic witness to the risen Christ during Paul’s first missionary journey. The miracle is not presented as human spectacle but as a sign of the living God at work through the preaching of the gospel. Suitable for teaching on missions, healing, faith, Acts, apostolic ministry, and the spread of the gospel among the Gentiles.
