sustain people in their following
of Jesus Christ in the world.”

8. The congregation in Antioch was blessed
with a number of prophet-preachers and
teachers:
Barnabas, Simon, nicknamed Niger,
Lucius the Cyrenian, Manaen, an advisor to
the ruler Herod, Saul.

9. One day as they were worshiping God—they
were also fasting as they waited for
guidance—the Holy Spirit spoke: “Take
Barnabas and Saul and commissionthem for
the work I have called them to do.”
3 So they commissionedthem. In that circle of
intensity and obedience, of fastingand
praying,they laid hands on their heads and
sentthem off.

15. 4–5 Sent off on their new assignment by
the Holy Spirit, Barnabas and Saul went
down to Seleucia and caught a ship for
Cyprus. The first thing they did when they
put in at Salamiswas preach God’s Word in
the Jewish meeting places. They had John
along to help out as needed.

17. 6–7 They traveled the length of the island,
and at Paphos came upon a Jewish wizard
who had worked himself into the
confidence of the governor, Sergius Paulus,
an intelligent man not easily taken in by
charlatans. The wizard’s name was Bar-
Jesus. He was as crooked as a corkscrew.
about the Master.

18. 7–11 The governor invited Barnabas and
Saul in, wanting to hear God’s Word
firsthand from them.

22. 7–11 The governor invited Barnabas and
Saul in, wanting to hear God’s Word
firsthand from them. But Dr. Know-It-All
(that’s the wizard’s name in plain English)
stirred up a ruckus, trying to divert the
governor from becoming a believer. But
Saul (or Paul), full of the Holy Spirit and
looking him straight in the eye, said,

23. “You bag of wind, you parody of a devil—
why, you stay up nights inventing schemes
to cheat people out of God. But now you’ve
come up against God himself, and your
game is up. You’re about to go blind—no
sunlight for you for a good long stretch.”
He was plunged immediately into a
shadowy mist and stumbled around,

24. begging people to take his hand and show
him the way.

26. 12 When the governor saw what
happened, he became a believer, full of
enthusiasm over what they were saying
about the Master.
