Acts 13

In Acts 13, the Holy Spirit calls Barnabas and Saulos (Paul) from the Antioch church for missionary work; they travel to Cyprus, where Paul blinds the sorcerer Bar-Iēsous (Elymas) opposing proconsul Sergios Paulos, leading to his belief.[1][3] In Pisidian Antioch, Paul preaches that through Iēsous—fulfilling prophecies, crucified yet raised—forgiveness of sins and justification are offered, beyond the Torah, prompting Jew-ish rejection and Gentile joy.[1][3]
