### Background of the Missionary Journeys:
### Time AD 47-48
Paul is first identified in Acts 8:1 as one who consented to the death of Stephen (see Act 7:1-8:1)
Act 9 focuses on Paul’s journey to Damascus to arrest Christians there and to return them to Jerusalem for trial.
Paul is converted on the Damascus Road Act 9:1-9.
After his conversion he returned to Jerusalem, see Act 9:26-30.
The leaders of the Christian community in Jerusalem removed Paul because they feared he would be killed – see 9:23 - by the Jews for proclaiming Jesus as the Son of God, and the Christ or Messiah.
Paul met Barnabas (9:27) and Barnabas took him to Caesarea and then on to Tarsus (which was Paul’s home).
Acts focuses on Peter’s ministry from 9:32 to 12:25. In Acts 11:19 we learn that a persecution broke out because of the death of Stephen, and this persecution caused the Christians to be spread “as far as Phoenicia and Cyprus and Antioch.
Some of these who were driven out by persecution were Greek-speaking Christians from the church in Jerusalem.
They sent Barnabas to Antioch, and he then went to Tarsus to look for Paul (Saul) see 11:19-30.
The believers were first called “Christians” in Antioch (see 11:26) .
We learn that Barnabas and Paul (also known as Saul) returned to Antioch.
The Antiochian church sent relief to Jerusalem during the persecution of Claudius (see 11:28), and Barnabas and Paul (Saul) brought that gift from the Antiochean church to the Judean church (see 11:30).
Herod the king persecuted some in the church of Judea and he killed James, the brother of John, and he arrested Peter (see Acts 12).
Acts 12 records the deliverance of Peter and the death of Herod, ending the chapter with Barnabas and Paul (Saul) returning from Jerusalem to Antioch (see 12:15, “returning from Jerusalem” presumably returning to (Syrian Antioch), where they formed their missionary team: Barnabas, Paul, and John Mark.
