There we boarded a ship sailing for Phoenicia.

The church sent the delegates to Jerusalem, and they stopped along the way in Phoenicia and Samaria to visit the believers. They told them— much to everyone’s joy— that the Gentiles, too, were being converted.

Paul and Barnabas stayed in Antioch. They and many others taught and preached the word of the Lord there.

For instance, there was Joseph, the one the apostles nicknamed Barnabas( which means“ Son of Encouragement”). He was from the tribe of Levi and came from the island of Cyprus.

Then the apostles and elders together with the whole church in Jerusalem chose delegates, and they sent them to Antioch of Syria with Paul and Barnabas to report on this decision. The men chosen were two of the church leaders— Judas( also called Barsabbas) and Silas.

When God raised up his servant, Jesus, he sent him first to you people of Israel, to bless you by turning each of you back from your sinful ways.”

Their disagreement was so sharp that they separated. Barnabas took John Mark with him and sailed for Cyprus.

The Jewish leaders were puzzled by this statement.“ Where is he planning to go?” they asked.“ Is he thinking of leaving the country and going to the Jews in other lands? Maybe he will even teach the Greeks!

Saul was one of the witnesses, and he agreed completely with the killing of Stephen. A great wave of persecution began that day, sweeping over the church in Jerusalem; and all the believers except the apostles were scattered through the regions of Judea and Samaria.( Some devout men came and buried Stephen with great mourning.)But Saul was going everywhere to destroy the church. He went from house to house, dragging out both men and women to throw them into prison.But the believers who were scattered preached the Good News about Jesus wherever they went.

but only to the people of Israel— God’s lost sheep.

So Barnabas and Saul were sent out by the Holy Spirit. They went down to the seaport of Seleucia and then sailed for the island of Cyprus.

Some believers from Caesarea accompanied us, and they took us to the home of Mnason, a man originally from Cyprus and one of the early believers.

Among the prophets and teachers of the church at Antioch of Syria were Barnabas, Simeon( called“ the black man”), Lucius( from Cyrene), Manaen( the childhood companion of King Herod Antipas), and Saul.

Then Paul and Barnabas spoke out boldly and declared,“ It was necessary that we first preach the word of God to you Jews. But since you have rejected it and judged yourselves unworthy of eternal life, we will offer it to the Gentiles.

When he found him, he brought him back to Antioch. Both of them stayed there with the church for a full year, teaching large crowds of people.( It was at Antioch that the believers were first called Christians.)During this time some prophets traveled from Jerusalem to Antioch.

But when Peter came to Antioch, I had to oppose him to his face, for what he did was very wrong.

The next stop was at the port of Caesarea. From there he went up and visited the church at Jerusalem and then went back to Antioch.
