Now they stopped and preached in Perga which they had apparently not done before (see 13:13f.<\/span>). After leaving Antioch they passed on through Pisidia, as if Antioch was not strictly in Pisidia (see on 13:14<\/span>) and into Pamphylia. They crossed from Perga to Attaleia, the port of Perga, sixteen miles down the Cestus, and capital of Pamphylia, to find a ship for Antioch in Syria. It is now called Adala and for long was the chief harbour of the south coast of Asia Minor. We do not know why they did not revisit Cyprus, perhaps because no permanent Gentile churches were founded there. <\/P> <\/p>\n <\/strong><\/p>\n 1 ) “And after they had passed throughout Pisidia,”<\/strong> (kai diethontes ten Pisidian) “And passing or traveling through the area of Pisidia,” a region of Asia Minor north of Pamphylia, east of the Mediterranean Sea, some fifty miles inland from Perga and Attalia. Pisidia was a rough terrain, a mountain region known as Tarsus, where desperate bandits often way-laid traveling merchants near Antioch in Pisidia, Act 13:14<\/span>; 2Co 11:26<\/span>.<\/p>\n 2) “They came to Pamphylia.”<\/strong> (elthon eis ten Pamphulian) “They came into Pamphylia,” a Mediterranean seacoast territory of some one hundred miles in length, lying on the Asia Minor coast line about one hundred and fifty miles northeast of the Island of Cyprus, Act 13:13<\/span>; Act 15:38<\/span>. From this country Mark had left Paul and Barnabas on this their first missionary journey, refusing to go to the cities and rugged terrain and territorial people inland.<\/p>\n − <\/p>\n 24. Passing through Pisidia. We have already said that Paul and Barnabas came to Antioch of Pisidia. Being now about to return to Antioch of Syria, whence they were sent away, they go through Pamphylia, which is the middle region toward the mount Taurus. And Perga and Attalia are cities lying near together. And whereas Luke saith, that they preach the Word in the one only, we may thereby guess that they had not opportunity offered them everywhere to teach, which they were wont to neglect or let pass nowhere. − <\/p>\n 13.<\/p>\n THROUGH THE PROVINCES OF PISIDIA AND PAMPHYLIA.<\/strong> Act. 14:24<\/span>.<\/p>\n Act. 14:24<\/span><\/p>\n And they passed through Pisidia, and came to Pamphylia.<\/p>\n Act. 14:24<\/span><\/strong> Following the confirming of the saints in Antioch of Pisidia and appointing elders for the churches, they passed again over the 120 to 140 miles of rough terrain that lay between Antioch and Perga.<\/p>\n 24<\/strong>. <\/strong> Throughout Pisidia<\/strong> They passed through the province southward.<\/p>\n Pamphylia<\/strong> (See note on Act 13:13<\/span>.)<\/p>\n ‘And they passed through Pisidia, and came to Pamphylia. And when they had spoken the word in Perga, they went down to Attalia, and from there they sailed to Antioch, from whence they had been committed to the grace of God for the work which they had fulfilled.’ <\/p>\n The last part of the return journey:<\/p>\n v. 24<\/strong>. And after they had passed through out Pisidia, they came to Pamphylia.<\/strong><\/p>\n v. 25<\/strong>. And when they had preached the Word in Perga, they went down into Attalia,<\/strong><\/p>\n v. 26<\/strong>. and thence sailed to Antioch, from whence they had been recommended to the grace of God for the work which they fulfilled.<\/strong><\/p>\n v. 27<\/strong>. And when they were come, and had gathered the church together, they rehearsed all that God had done with them, and how he had opened the, door of faith unto the Gentiles.<\/strong><\/p>\n v. 28<\/strong>. And there they abode long time with the disciples.<\/p>\n <\/strong> It was impossible for Paul to be inactive in the service of his Lord while he was traveling back to Syria. So he and Barnabas made a missionary trip through Pisidia, the province adjoining Roman Galatia on the south. Thus they reached Pamphylia and now took time to speak the Word of God in Perga, where they do not seem to have stopped on the journey to the upper country, chap. 13:13. Incidentally they seem to have waited for an opportunity of setting sail for Syria. But when no chance offered, they went down to the seacoast, to the harbor of Attalia, in Lycia, whence they sailed to Antioch. In this city they had been appointed to their office as missionaries and committed to the grace of God for the work which they had now finished. They had enjoyed the singular, merciful blessing of God on their journey, and had, above all, received abundant assurance that it is the grace of God which enables a man to do work in the Gospel. Eph 3:8<\/span>. So it was with a heart full of thankfulness that they returned to the congregation at Antioch, just as soon after their arrival as it could be arranged, there was an assembly of the congregation, in which the two missionaries reported in full on the success of their labors, as they stated it, how many and how great things God had done with them as the instruments of His grace, and also on their behalf, in being with them and aiding them, both in performing the work of their calling and in enduring the persecutions that had come upon them. It is God who must give the increase whenever and wherever the Gospel is preached. It was He that had opened to the Gentiles the door of faith, making their hearts willing, and giving them free access to the salvation of Jesus Christ. Note: It is altogether well-pleasing to God if the missionaries at home and abroad make reports of their work to the congregations that have sent them forth, thus showing that God is with the work, and that He opens the doors to the preaching of the Gospel. After this, Paul and Barnabas both spent a long time with the disciples of Antioch, probably more than a year, busy with their work of preaching and gaining new members for the congregation of Christ.<\/p>\n Summary<\/strong><\/p>\n Paul and Barnabas preach the Gospel at Iconium, at Lystra, and at Derbe, enduring persecution for the sake of the Lord, and then retrace their steps for the sake of strengthening the brethren, continue their work in Pisidia and Pamphylia, finally returning to Antioch, in Syria<\/em><\/p>\n 24 And after they had passed throughout Pisidia, they came to Pamphylia. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n <\/strong><\/p>\n Ver. 24.

See Act 13:14-15<\/span><\/em> , &c.<\/em> Now being to return to the other Antioch in Syria (whence they had been sent out at first), they pass through Pamphylia, a country that lay toward the mountain Taurus. <\/p>\n Act 14:24<\/span> . . . “having made a missionary journey through Pisidia,” see above on Act 13:6<\/span> . Here it seems clearly implied that Pisidian Antioch was not in Pisidia, see above on Act 13:14<\/span> , and Ramsay, St. Paul<\/em> , p. 124.<\/p>\n NASB (UPDATED) TEXT: Act 14:24-28<\/p>\n 24They passed through Pisidia and came into Pamphylia. 25When they had spoken the word in Perga, they went down to Attalia. 26From there they sailed to Antioch, from which they had been commended to the grace of God for the work that they had accomplished. 27When they had arrived and gathered the church together, they began to report all things that God had done with them and how He had opened a door of faith to the Gentiles. 28And they spent a long time with the disciples.<\/p>\n Act 14:24 The highland province of Pisidia is just north of the coastal province of Pamphylia. Perga was the chief city of the region. Paul apparently only passed through this city earlier (cf. Act 13:13), but now returned and preached the gospel (cf. Act 14:25).<\/p>\n Act 14:25 “Attalia” This was the seaport of Perga.<\/p>\n Act 14:26 “sailed to Antioch” They did not return to Cyprus. Barnabas will return after the dispute with Paul over John Mark (cf. Act 15:36-39).<\/p>\n “they had been commended to the grace of God” The verb is a periphrastic pluperfect passive. This first missionary journey, initiated and sustained by the Spirit, was a marvelous success.<\/p>\n Act 14:27 “gathered the church together, they began to report all things that God had done” Notice they were responsible to the church. “Even the Apostle to the Gentiles” reported to a local church (See Special Topic at Act 5:11). They also acknowledged who accomplished this great accomplishmentYHWH\/Spirit.<\/p>\n They did not report to the leaders (cf. Act 13:1), but to the congregation and later reported on their mission activity to the congregation in Jerusalem (cf. Act 15:4) and, for that matter, all other congregations along the way (cf. Act 15:3). I think it was the whole congregation who had laid hands on them and commissioned them on their journey.<\/p>\n “and how He had opened a door of faith to the Gentiles” Paul used this phrase “door of faith” quite often (cf. 1Co 16:9; 2Co 2:12; Col 4:3; and also notice Rev 3:8). God opened a door to all humanity in the gospel that no one could close. The full implication of Jesus’ words in Act 1:8 is now being fulfilled.<\/p>\n after they had = having. <\/p>\n Act 14:24. , Pamphylia) The region, to which belonged the cities Perga and Attalia, towards the sea.<\/p>\n Cir, am 4052, ad 48 <\/p>\n Pisidia: Pisidia was a province of Asia Minor, situated between Phrygia on the north and west, Lycaonia on the east, and Pamphylia on the south.

They passed through these places before (Act 13:13-14).<\/p>\n This last paragraph of the chapter acquaints us with the return of Paul and Barnabas to Antioch in Syria, from whence they set out two years before, and where they were by the prayers of the church most affectionately recommended to the grace and assistance of God, for carrying on of that great work, to wit, the conversion of the Gentiles; which God had abundantly succeeded them in. <\/p>\n Learn thence, That the best provision and preparation for any business, especially any business of importance, wherein the glory of God is concerned, is fervent prayer. Thus the apostles here, being sent out from Antioch with prayer, they return with praise; the Lord granted them both safety and success; safety as to their persons, and success as to their labours.<\/p>\n Observe farther, Being returned to Antioch, they call the church together, and declare the great things which God had done with them and by them; to the intent, no doubt, the church might join with them in their praises and thanksgivings, who had before assisted them with their prayers and supplications: They rehearsed all that God had done with them, that he might have the entire praise and glory from them.<\/p>\n Observe lastly, The subject matter of that report which they joyfully made to the church of Antioch; namely, how God had opened the door of faith to the Gentiles; that is, given them an opportunity to know, nd ability to believe, the gospel, which like a door was formerly shut to them, but now mercifully opened; and which was the far greater mercy yet, Almighty God did not only open the door of the gospel to them, by bringing his word amongst them, but he opened the door of their hearts to receive it, and entertain it when brought. The opening the heart and mind of sinners effectually to receive the truths of the gospel, is the special work of the Holy Spirit of God.<\/p>\n Lord! how insufficient are all external means, how excellent soever in themselves, to operate savingly upon men’s minds, unless the Holy Spirit opens the understanding, as well as the ministers open the scripture! He that opened the door of faith to the Gentiles, opened the Gentiles’ hearts to receive the doctrine of faith, and inclined their wills to the obedience of faith.<\/p>\n Eternally praised be God for the gracious illuminations, the sanctifying impressions, the powerful assistances, and the quickening influences, of the Holy Ghost, which worketh in us both to will and to do of his good pleasure.<\/p>\n Act 14:24-26. After they had passed through Pisidia, &c. Paul and Barnabas having, on their return from Phrygia and Galatia, visited all the cities of Lycaonia and Pisidia, where they had formerly planted churches, they came at length to Perga, in Pamphylia Where they spent some time in preaching the word; probably because they had remained there but a short space formerly. And having thus revisited all those cities, and given the churches in them their due form; they came down to Attalia A sea- port town below Perga; and thence sailed to Antioch In Syria; from whence they had By the divine appointment; been recommended In a very solemn manner; (Act 13:2-3;) to the grace of God To his favour, aid, and blessing; for the work which they had fulfilled And where, therefore, they were very desirous both of rendering a particular account of their ministry to their brethren in that church, and also of returning their grateful acknowledgments with them to the divine providence and grace, to which they owed their safety amidst so many extreme dangers, and their success in such difficult labours.<\/p>\n 24-26. Leaving Antioch of Pisidia, the apostles returned as far as the sea-coast by the same route through which they had gone up into Pisidia. (24) “And passing through Pisidia, they came into Pamphylia; (25) and having spoken the word in Perga, they went down to Attalia. (26) Thence they sailed to Antioch, whence they had been commended to the favor of God for the work which they had performed.” Perga, on the river Cestrus, a few miles above its mouth, was the point at which they had disembarked on their first arrival from Cyprus. They had made no delay there at first, but now we are told that they “spoke the word in Perga.” Luke’s silence in reference to the result of this effort is an indication that it was not very decided. It is probable that their design was simply to usefully employ an interval during which they were waiting for a vessel bound to Antioch. This conjecture is confirmed by the fact that they finally left Perga by land, and walked down to Attalia on the sea-coast, where they would be likely to meet with a vessel without so long delay. They were not disappointed; for “thence they sailed to Antioch.” <\/p>\n 24-28. Now the apostles take a circuitous route through Pisidia, Pamphylia and Italia, arriving back at Syrian Antioch, whence they set out on this great evangelistic tour. Convening the church, they are received with delight by all the saints, who are spellbound and electrified by their rehearsals of the mighty works of God through their humble instrumentality in the various heathen lands of their long and perilous peregrinations.<\/p>\n 14:24 {10} And after they had passed throughout Pisidia, they came to Pamphylia.<\/p>\n (10) Paul and Barnabas, having completed their journey, and having returned to Antioch, give an account of their journey to the congregation or church.<\/p>\n Pisidia was the southernmost geographic region in the Roman province of Galatia. Pamphylia was the province south of Galatia and east of the kingdom of Antiochus. Perga, like Derbe, was one of the sites the missionaries visited that Luke chose not to comment on extensively (cf. Act 13:13-14). Perhaps Paul and Barnabas planted a church there, too. The apostles then sailed directly for Syrian Antioch by way of Attalia, the seaport 10 miles south of Perga.<\/p>\n "Ports in antiquity were often satellite towns of larger and more important cities situated some distance inland for protection from pirates. So Luke’s mention of Attalia here probably has no more significance than his mention of Seleucia (Act 13:4), the port of Syrian Antioch, and merely identifies the place of embarkation for the voyage back to Syria."
