BEGINNING THE WORLD IV1ISSI0NS Acts 11:19-26; 13: 1-12. GOLUE.N TEXT - And he said unto them. Go ye into all the world and preach the gospel (o the whole crea- tion. .Mark 10:15. TIIK I.ESSO.N I.N ITS SETTI.NU TI.ME. â€" The church at Antioch was founded in 42 A.D. The mission- ary journey of Paul and Barnabas was in 47 A.D. PLACFv. â€" Antiorli was situated in the northern part of Syria about L'U miles from the seacoast. on Orontes Kivor. Cyprus was an islan<l located in the Mediterranean Sea opposite to and, about sixty miles from .Syria. Salaniis was a seaport located at the eastern end of the island, whilp I'a- phos was a seaport located at iiie western extremity of the same Island. "They therefore that were scattered abroad upon the tribulation that arose about Stephen. " This refers back to the perseciilion and scatter- ing of the (;iiristian.s from .lerusalem mentioned in Acts S.-l. "Travelled as far as Phoenicia '. The country Im- mediately north of Palestine on the Mediterranean coa.st, part of the Ro- man province of Syria, in which were the great cities of T.vre, Sidon. Il'init. and Triixdis. "And Cyrus". An Island sixty miles from the Syrian coast, and forty-live miles from the coast of Asia Minor, approximately thirty-dve hun- ilred square miles in area, about tlirec times the size of the State of Ithode Island, "And Antioch, speaking the word to none save only to Jews". These inissionarips were Jews them- selves, and felt more confidence In confining their efforts to fellow t!en- tiles. "Hut there were .some of theni, men of t^yprus and Gyrene". Cyrene wa.<( a city of Libya in northern Africa, west of Egypt. (Sec Acts 2:10; 13:1). 'Who. when they were come to Antioch, spake unto the Greeks also, preaching the Lord .lesus". Those to whom the Chriatiaiis prenched were Gentiles, who were probably worshipping in the Jewish .synagogue in Antioch. though they were not proselytes, i.e., they were not Creek- Jews. "And tlin hand of the Lord was with them: and a great number that be- lieved turned unto the Lord". No one person Is mentioned In this account of early missionary activity. These men were not sent out under the aus- pices of the Jerusalem church. They went everywhere preaching the Lord Jesus because he was precious to them, because love for him niled tlie:r hearts, because Christ had changed them and given them new life. "Xow there were at Antioch, in tlie church that was there, prophets and teachers". Prophets were men inspir- ed by the Holy Spirit with a direct message from God (Acts 2:17; 1 Cor. 12:28; 11: 1-15). They must have been present in most of the apostolic con- gregations (1 Cor. 12:28. Eph. 4:11; Acts 11:27: 15:32). and apparently ranked next to the apostles in au- thority "Barnabas, and Symeon that was called Niger". -Nothing is known of this man except that he was of Jewish origin, as his first name indi- cates. "And Lucius of Cyrene." This is a Latin natne, though his birthplace or home may indicate that he was of the Jews who cbounded In Cyrene and the other psits of northern .Af- rica. "And Manaen the fosterbrotlif r of Herod the tetrarch. and Saul. Ttie Herod mentioned here must have been Herod Antipas. It sliould be especial- ly noticed that the name of Saul ap- pears last. He is not given first place, even after his first missionary Jour- ney, by the olBcers of the church (15:25)- onicialism i.s slow to recog- nize work not done In its own way. "And they ministered to the Lonl. and faslod. the Holy Spirit said. Se- parate mo Barnabas and Saul for the work whereunto I have called them. It may be that the church was now assembled together with the express purpose of talking and praying about the great task of carrying the gospel to the heathen. Barnabas had already been called of the Lord to labor among the Gentiles. "Then, when they had fasted ami prayed and laid their hands on them, they sent them away". Barnabas ami Saul were not here ordained to b" apostles, they were apostles before this, it was, however, a service ot solems dedication, in which thfao men received the bles.sing of fellow- Christians In the church at Antioch. "So they, being sent forth by the Holy Sidrit". Every work for Christ is a partnership with God. We work together with God (2 Cor. 6:1). A missionary not sent forth by the Holy Spirit Is doomec} to the deepest dis- appointment, and perhaps tragedy. "Went down to Seleucla". The sea- port of Antioch, at the mouth ot the Orontes River, mentioned only here in the New Testament. "And from hence they sailed to Cyprus". Probably the missionary apostles were induced to take this route because Cyprus was the birthplace of one of them. "And when they were at Salamis." This was the nearest port of Cyprus (or voyagers from Seleucia located at th eastern end of the island, and men- tioned only heie in the New Testa- ment. • They proclaimed the word ot God in the synagogues of the Jews: and they had also John as their atten- dant." This is not John the apostle, the author of the fourth Gospel, but John Mark, the author of the second Gospel, the cousin of Barnabas. The word here translated attendant is used elsewhere by Luke to designate an ot- ficer or servant of the synagogue in Nazareth (Luke 4:20). ".\nd when they had gone through the whole island". The pii.ise would seem to indicate that they had preach- ed the gospel in all the important places throughout Cyprus. "Unto Pa- phos". A seaport near the western extremity of the island, the modern city of Buffo, and the seat of the pro- consul, the administrative centre of the island since its annexation by the Romans In 58 B.C. "They found a cer- tain sorcerer, a false prophet, a Jew, whose name was Bar Jestis." Cf. the record of Simon the sorcerer (Acts S; 9-25) and of Sceva (Acts 19: 11-16). The word here translated sorcerer simply means wise man. He repres- ented In his single personality both the modern fortune-teller and the mod- ern man of science. "Who was with the prcconsul, Ser- gius, a man of understanding." Cyprus was a province which had become so thoroughly Roman as not to need the presence of troops, and was governed by a civil magistrate under the rule of the Senate. An inscription was dis- covered at Soloi on the north coast of this island, dated in the proconsulship of Paulus. and probably refers to this very person. A person like the pro- consul, keenly interested in nature and philosophy, would enjoy the so- ciety of B:ir-Jesus. "The same called unto them Barnabas and Saul, and sought to hear the word ot God." Cer- tainly this man had heard of the Jew- ish faith and of the doctrine of one supremo holy God. He. like great mul- titudes of other intellectual men ot his time, was dissatislied with the Idolatrous and sensualistic religions of the Mediterranean world. "But Klymas the sorcerer (for so is his name by interpretation) withstood them, seeking to turn aside the pro- consul from the faith." The word here translated withstood is used later by Paul (2 Eiin. 3:8; 4:15). The word here translated to turn away means to turn aside from the right path, to per- vert, to corrupt. "But Saul, who Is also called Paul." This is the first time that we meet the name Paul. Why he should take this name in preference to the name Saul is not known, but we do know that here the great apostle is enter- ing upon a new period of life, and a new name could not be taken at a more appropriate time than this. "Filled with the Holy Si'irit, fasten- â- - ==3 t ed his eyes on him, and said, O full of! all guile and all villainy." The first word has reference to deceit, and the second to Innate wickedness. "Thoui son of the devil, thou enemy of all- righteousness." (Cr. John 8:44) There is hardly a more terrible indictment! of one man by another in all the Bible! than this fierce denunciation proceed-J ing from the lips of the apostle Paul. "Wilt thou not cease to pervert the ;ight ways of the Lord?" The word here translated to pervert is the same word translated in verse eight to turn aside. "And now, behold, the hand of th9 Lord Is upon thee, and thou Shalt be blind, not seeing the sun for a sea- son. And immediately there fell on him a mist and a darkness; and he went about seeking some to lead him by the hand." For the expre-ssion the hand of the Lord, see Ex. 9.3; Judges 2:15; 1 Kings 18:46. ''Then the proconsul, when he saw what was done, believed, being as- tonished at the teaching of the Lord." So remarkable is the conversion of a Roman proconsul, thus eariy in the iiistory of the Christian church, that .some, including Renan, regard the â- itatement as absolutely incredible. But the narrative, aside from our be- lief in inspiration, is utterly free from any details that would indicate the narrative to be one written out of the imagination of later generation. Sophisticated Air I8I3-B Sleeping paianias are so pretty these days. And this model holds true with today's model not only for slim young 14's, but also for their sisters in the 42's.
