Why did Paul and Barnabas decide to go to Derbe?

Actes 14:20 (NEG79)

20 Mais, les disciples l'ayant entouré, il se leva, et entra dans la ville. Le lendemain, il partit pour Derbe avec Barnabas.

Paul and Barnabas left for Derbe since Lystra had become a dangerous place for them to stay.1 They had no guarantee that the crowd would not stone them again on the following day if they saw them walking around and preaching in the city.
