Acts 14: Lystra

In the first mission trip, Paul and Barnabas went to Lystra. They healed a cripled man from birth. The crowd was amazed and saw Paul and Barnabas as gods (Hermes/Paul and Zeus/Barnabas) due to the legend of Philemon and Baucis. In this legend, the two gods (Hermes,Zeus) came tot earth disguised as mortal men to test human hospitality. An elderly couple (Philemon and Baucis) welcomed them, so they were rewarded with a gold temple while the wicked city was destroyed by a flood. When the city saw the healed men, they associated Paul and Barnabas with these two gods and they were about to worship them but Paul and Barnabas forbade them to do so. They gave them this message:

15 and saying, “Men, why are you doing these things? We are also men, of the same nature as you, preaching the gospel to you, to turn from these useless things to a living God, who made the heaven and the earth and the sea, and everything that is in them. 16 In past generations He permitted all the nations to go their own ways; 17 yet He did not leave Himself without witness, in that He did good and gave you rains from heaven and fruitful seasons, satisfying your hearts with food and gladness.” 18 And even by saying these things, only with difficulty did they restrain the crowds from offering sacrifices to them.

These "useless things" (ματαίων) refers to Hermes and Zeus. Thus, this message was somehow offensive too. They correctly refused to be praised and they also showed that their believes were wrong. Besides, the influence of their opponents made the crowd stone Paul.
It is very likely that Timothy from Lystra saw this, but not only that. After some time, Paul and Barnabas came back (return from the 1st mission trip) to organize the believers in a stronger community.
