Read the Story

In the church at Antioch, while they served the Lord and fasted, the Holy Spirit said to set apart Barnabas and Saul for his work. The church fasted, prayed, laid hands on them, and sent them off.

They sailed to Cyprus with John Mark as their helper. A sorcerer named Elymas tried to turn the proconsul away from the faith. Saul, also called Paul, filled with the Holy Spirit, said the hand of the Lord was on Elymas, and he could not see for a time. The proconsul believed.

At Antioch of Pisidia, Paul spoke in the synagogue. He told how God led Israel and gave them King David. From David's family God brought a Savior, Jesus (Acts 13:23). God raised him from the dead. Through him forgiveness of sins is proclaimed (Acts 13:38).

The next Sabbath almost the whole city gathered. Some opposed Paul, so he turned to the Gentiles. The Gentiles were glad, and the word of the Lord spread through the region (Acts 13:49).
