The men start off on their first missionary journey with the support of the church in Antioch. Barnabas, as the patron, is the leader and Paul as client with John a helper are in the party. They land on the west end of Cyprus and visit all the synagogues on the island as they make their way to the capital, Paphos.
There the procounsel or governor wants to hear what they are saying. But a member of the governor’s court objects. Paul casts a spell blinding the man. This really imporesses the governor but he doesn’t convert to the Jesus Movement message.
They return to the mainland at Perga in Pamphylia. There John returns to Antioch. Barnabas and Paul go on to Pisidian Antioch and other cities.
