"Saints Paul and Barnabas at Lystra" is a 1614 oil painting by Pieter Lastman, a Dutch painter known for his historical and biblical scenes. The painting depicts the incident from the Acts of the Apostles (Chapter 14, verses 8-18) in which Paul and Barnabas are mistaken for gods by the people of Lystra after they heal a lame man. The work is notable for its dramatic use of light and shadow, as well as its detailed rendering of the figures and their expressions.

In the painting, Lastman illustrates the moment of misunderstanding and adoration by the Lystrans, who prepare to offer sacrifices to the apostles, believing them to be the gods Jupiter and Mercury. Paul and Barnabas are shown in the center of the composition, with Paul gesturing to the heavens to redirect the people's worship to the one true God. The surrounding figures exhibit a range of emotions, from awe to skepticism, capturing the tumultuous nature of the scene.

Lastman's work is significant for its influence on his contemporaries and pupils, most notably Rembrandt van Rijn, who apprenticed in Lastman's workshop in Amsterdam. "Saints Paul and Barnabas at Lystra" exemplifies Lastman's skill in storytelling through art and his ability to convey complex narratives within a single frame. The painting is an important example of Dutch Golden Age painting and contributes to our understanding of the period's religious and artistic culture.
