Paul’s First Missionary Journey

While the prophets and teachers of Antioch were worshipping and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, “Set apart for me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them.” So after fasting and prayer, the church laid hands on them and sent them out. In Paphos of Cyprus they met a magician named Elymas. Paul, filled with the Holy Spirit, confronted him, and Elymas was immediately struck blind.
