Acts 13:14 - 50
Paul and Barnabas came to Pisidian Antioch, from Paphos (Cyrpus), via Perga. It may be that their itinerary was influenced by their meeting with Sergius Paulus, the Roman proconsul at Paphos, a native of Pisidian Antioch. Perhaps he had provided them with letters of introduction? Dr Mark Wilson discusses this, and other possibilities, in a paper entitled Saint Paul in Pamphylia: Intention, Arrival, Departure, available here.
The Acts narrative reports great success from their preaching in the synagogue, including converts among the 'Gentiles'. The account includes a lengthy sermon, which may be taken, not as a verbatim record, but as a typical pattern of Paul's preaching. Their success aroused jealousy in the Jewish leaders who stirred up persecution from "the God-fearing women of high standing and the leading men of the city" (Acts 13:50 NIV) resulting in their banishment from the region. That, of course, simply resulted in another move, and the proclamation of the good news in Iconium.
Pisidian Antioch is on the north eastern edge of the small town of Yalvaç, in the Isparta Province of modern Turkey. The site is not as spectacular as some
I visited, in 2012, as part of journey taking in sites of the so-called First Missionary Journey. I had driven north from an early morning visit to Perga. Because I had not booked, or found, any accommodation in Yalvaç, I drove on towards Konya (Iconium) later that afternoon.
