CHAPTER 13 describes the beginning of Paul's first missionary journey. Paul and Barnabas are called to preach the Gospel and travel to Antioch, where Paul preached that Jesus Christ fulfilled God's promises to Israel. They then travel to Cyprus and continue to preach the gospel. In Perga, John Mark leaves the group and returns to Jerusalem. Paul and Barnabas continue to preach in Antioch in Pisidia, where they are met with opposition from the Jews. Paul curses a sorcerer and continues to preach the gospel to the Gentiles.
