Review
Paul and Barnabas teach in Antioch for a year.
Paul and Barnabas take relief to those in Judea due to a drought.
In the spring of 44 AD Paul and Barnabas are called out to the work to which I have called them.
What work is this speaking of?
Galatians 1:15-
The work was to take the Gospel to the Gentiles.
How were they called out, what was the process.
They were called out after they had Fasted.

The Trip Begins Acts 13:4
They first go to the port city Seleucia
Seleucia was founded by the Greek General Seleucus
They set sail for Cyprus and the principal city of Salamis
1. Cyprus is an island in the Mediterranean Sea
2. Cyprus is the birthplace of Barnabas
It’s in Cyprus that we are told that John Mark had come as an Assistant.
Paul, Barnabas and John Mark travel all across Cyprus from Salamis to Paphos
Not one convert is mentioned
In Paphos they meet with the Governor or Proconsul Sergius Paulus.
1. Governors or Proconsuls were appointed by Ceaser
2. Procurators were appointed by the Senate
They also meet with a sorcerer named Bar-Jesus or Elymas (Arabic or Aramaic Name)
1. Elymas would come with the meaning of “wise or Sage”
2. Bar (Son of) Jesus which comes with the meaning “to save”
3. However the Bar does also mean “lesser or little”
However the Bar does also mean “lesser or little”
This Elymas tried to turn away the Proconsul from the Faith
He was close to but had not accepted Christ.
Footnote: Paul is called Saul here for the last time
Paul, by the power of the Holy Spirit, strikes Elymas blind.
Sergius Paulus receives Christ
1.
It was a man at the top of society that first recieved Christ
2. It was a man of great intelligence who first recieved Christ
3. It was a man who had a lot to lose who first recieved Christ,
4. It was a man who had already been persuaded otherwise who first received Christ.
They sailed from Paphos to Perga
1. Perga is located on the coast of modern day Turkey.
2. It doesn’t appear that Perga was their destination.
John Mark departs unexpectedly.
1.
He had grown weary.
2. Something not written in Acts had scared him.
