So Barnabas and Saul,¹ sent out by the² Holy Spirit, went down to Seleucia,³ and⁴ from there they sailed to Cyprus.⁵  When they arrived in Salamis, they began to proclaim the word of God in the Jewish synagogues.⁶

They traveled east across the island this way to Paphos.  And so begins the account of what is known as Paul’s first missionary journey.  The proconsul Sergius Paulus summoned Barnabas and Saul and wanted to hear the word of God.⁷  A magician called Bar-Jesus (also called Elymas) opposed their preaching.  But Saul (also known as Paul), filled with the Holy Spirit, stared straight at him and said, “You who are full of all deceit and all wrongdoing, you son of the devil, you enemy of all righteousness – will you not stop making crooked the straight paths of the Lord?⁸  Then Paul prophesied that the magician would be blind for a time, and the magician was unable to see and needed to be led by the hand.

Then when the proconsul saw what had happened, he believed (ἐπίστευσεν, a form of πιστεύω), because he was greatly astounded at the teaching about the Lord.⁹

This incident reminds me of the story of Jesus and the centurion (Matthew 8:5-10 NET):

When [Jesus]¹⁰ entered¹¹ Capernaum¹², a centurion came to him asking for help:  “Lord, my servant is lying at home paralyzed, in terrible anguish.”  Jesus¹³ said to him, “I will come and heal him.”  But the centurion replied, “Lord, I am not worthy to have you come under my roof.  Instead, just say the word¹⁴ and my servant will be healed.  For I too am a man under authority (ἐξουσίαν, a form of ἐξουσία), with soldiers under me.  I say to this one, ‘Go’ and he goes, and to another ‘Come’ and he comes, and to my slave ‘Do this’ and he does it.”  When Jesus heard this he was amazed and said to those who followed him, “I tell you the truth, I have not found such faith (πίστιν, a form of πίστις) in anyone¹⁵ in Israel!

Something about these Roman military men (the proconsul probably came up through the military ranks) and their respect for ἐξουσία touches me.  Apparently the proconsul allowed the magician to be a part of his retinue.  I’m only guessing, but it seems that the proconsul recognized that his own ἐξουσία ended at the visible world of human governance.  He seems to have been intrigued by, or even longed for, the companionship of one whose ἐξουσία reached beyond those limits.  Saul and Barnabas proclaimed, not themselves, but Jesus as Lord of this ἐξουσία.

From Paphos Saul and Baranbas set sail and made their way to Perga, the capital of Pamphylia (about 10 miles northeast of present day Antalya, Turkey).  John left them and returned to Jerusalem.¹⁶  (That detail becomes important later in the story.)  Moving on from Perga, they arrived at Pisidian¹⁷ Antioch, and on the Sabbath day they went into the synagogue and sat down.  After the reading from the law and the prophets, the leaders of the synagogue sent them a message, saying, “Brothers, if you have any¹⁸ message of exhortation for the people, speak it.”¹⁹

This became part of Paul’s standard operating procedure spreading the Gospel to Gentiles—Roman roads and Jewish synagogues.  Paul stood up and began speaking, Men of Israel, and you Gentiles who fear God, listen…²⁰  I am noting that so far Paul’s experience with Gentiles and the Gospel as spelled out in Acts is limited to Sergius Paulus and those who have attached themselves to a synagogue.  What follows is Paul’s first recorded Gospel proclamation (Acts 13:17-23 NET):

The God of this people Israel²¹ chose our ancestors and made the people great during their stay as foreigners in the country of Egypt,²² and with uplifted arm he led them out of it.  For a period of about forty years he put up with them in the wilderness.  After he had destroyed seven nations in the land of Canaan, he gave²³ his people their land as an inheritance.  All this took about four hundred fifty years.  After this he gave them judges until the time of Samuel the prophet.  Then they asked for a king, and God gave them Saul son of Kish, a man from the tribe of Benjamin, who ruled forty years.  After removing him, God raised up David²⁴ their king.  He testified about him: “I have found David the son of Jesse to be a man after my heart, who will accomplish everything I want him to do.”  From the descendants of this man God brought²⁵ to Israel a Savior,²⁶ Jesus,²⁷ just as he promised.

Paul’s Gospel proclamation began with a history lesson, Israel’s history.  Then he turned to the prophets (Acts 13:24-41 NET).

Before Jesus arrived, John had proclaimed a baptism for repentance to all²⁸ the people of Israel.  But while John²⁹ was completing his mission, he said repeatedly, “What³⁰ do you think I am?³¹  I am not he.  But look, one is coming after me.  I am not worthy to untie the sandals on his feet!”  Brothers, descendants of Abraham’s family, and those Gentiles among you who fear God, the message of this salvation has been sent³² to us.³³  For the people who live in Jerusalem and their rulers did not recognize him, and they fulfilled the sayings of the prophets that are read every Sabbath by condemning him.  Though they found no basis for a death sentence, they asked Pilate to have him executed.  When they had accomplished everything³⁴ that was written about him, they took him down from the cross and placed him in a tomb.  But God raised him from the dead, and for many days he appeared to those who had accompanied him from Galilee to Jerusalem.  These are now³⁵ his witnesses to the people.  And we proclaim to you the good news about the promise to our ancestors, that this promise God has fulfilled to us, their children, by raising Jesus, as also it is written in the second psalm, “You are my Son; today I have fathered you.”  But regarding the fact that he has raised Jesus from the dead, never again to be in a state of decay, God has spoken in this way: “I will give you the holy and trustworthy promises made to David” (Table).  Therefore³⁶ he also says in another psalm, “You will not permit your Holy One to experience decay (Table).”  For David,³⁷ after he had served God’s purpose in his own generation, died, was buried with his ancestors, and experienced decay, but the one whom God raised up did not experience decay.  Therefore let it be known to you, brothers, that through this one forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you, and by this one everyone who believes is justified from everything from which the³⁸ law of Moses³⁹ could not justify you.  Watch out, then, that what is spoken about by the prophets does not happen to you:⁴⁰ “Look, you scoffers; be amazed and perish!  For I am doing a work in your days, a work⁴¹ you would never believe, even if someone tells you.”
