Editorial summary
Set apart at Antioch and sent out by the Holy Spirit, Barnabas and Saul sailed to Cyprus, crossed to the mainland and preached in Antioch of Pisidia, Iconium, Lystra and Derbe, then retraced their steps to strengthen the new churches.
Acts gives no dates. This is a common scholarly estimate; some chronologies date the journey earlier.
