A city of the Roman province of Asia. It was located in the district of Lycaonia in the province of Galatia (Acts 14:6). Derbe was the last city visited by Paul during his first missionary journey (verse 20). It was also the first city Paul visited while on his second journey (16:1). And it is likely one city he revisited on his third journey (18:23).
Gaius was from Derbe (20:4). He was one of the missionary companions of Paul on his third journey.
