“They were ware of it, and fled unto Lystra and Derbe, cities of Lycaonia, and unto the region that lieth round about:”
But they found out about it and fled to the Lycaonian cities of Lystra and Derbe and to the surrounding country — the warning enables strategic retreat (pheugo, to flee), avoiding immediate martyrdom. The move toward Lystra and Derbe (inland cities of Lycaonia) suggests the missionaries sought less hostile terrain while continuing their mission.
