Acts 13

At Antioch, prophets and teachers minister to the Lord and fast, and the Holy Ghost directs Barnabas and Saul to missionary work. In Cyprus Paul confronts Elymas the sorcerer, and the Roman deputy believes. In Pisidian Antioch Paul preaches Israel’s history culminating in Jesus’ death and resurrection, proclaims forgiveness and justification through Him, and warns against unbelief. Jewish resistance leads Paul and Barnabas to turn their public mission toward the Gentiles, who rejoice in the word.
