No one in this book has yet to meet with the Gentiles and preach the Gospel. What about the Great Commission to go into all the world---it looms large in this context and in our very own. But God was moving. The Jews, some of them, most of them, were refusing to accept the Gospel. Along comes Barnabas and Saul by divine appointment to preach to the Gentiles. In Acts 13:9, Paul looks a Elymas, a sorcerer, straight into the eye. Filled with the Holy Spirit, Peter, Stephen, Paul. Outrageous courage. Holy resolution. No matter what befalls, their hearts were full with the power of godliness and all it brought to them.
