Paul's First Missionary Journey
Every stop of the first journey in order, from the sending at Antioch to the return — Acts 13–14. The drawn maps of Paul's journeys (the 1841 plate and Johnson's 1868 plate) hang in Graphics, Charts, Outlines, and Maps.
Antioch in Syria
As the prophets and teachers minister to the Lord and fast, the Holy Ghost says, "Separate me Barnabas and Saul for the work whereunto I have called them." The church fasts, prays, lays hands on them, and sends them away.
Seleucia
They come down to the seaport and sail from there to Cyprus, taking John Mark to minister with them.
Salamis
On Barnabas’s home island they preach the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews.
Paphos
At the governor’s city, the sorcerer Elymas withstands them and is struck blind for a season; Sergius Paulus, astonished at the doctrine of the Lord, believes. Saul is here first called Paul.
Perga
Landing in Pamphylia, John Mark departs from them and returns to Jerusalem — a leaving Paul will not forget.
Antioch in Pisidia
In the synagogue Paul rehearses God’s dealings from Egypt to David, and preaches Jesus risen from the dead. The Gentiles beg to hear it the next Sabbath, when almost the whole city gathers; stirred up against them, the Jews drive them out, and they shake off the dust of their feet.
Iconium
A great multitude of Jews and Greeks believes, but unbelieving Jews stir up the city; threatened with stoning, the apostles flee to Lystra and Derbe.
Lystra
A man lame from his mother’s womb hears Paul and is healed; the people cry, "The gods are come down to us in the likeness of men," and would sacrifice to them. Then Jews from Antioch and Iconium persuade the people, and Paul is stoned, dragged out of the city, and left for dead — but rises and goes back in.
Derbe
They preach the gospel in Derbe and teach many — then turn back the way they came to finish the work.
The Return — Lystra, Iconium, Pisidian Antioch
Passing back through every city, they confirm the souls of the disciples — "we must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God" — and ordain elders in every church.
Perga and Attalia
They preach the word in Perga on the way down, then come to the port of Attalia and sail for home.
Antioch in Syria
Arrived home, they gather the church and rehearse all that God has done with them, and how he has opened the door of faith unto the Gentiles. They abide there a long time with the disciples.
