Acts 13:13

Now when Paul and his party set sail from Paphos, they came to Perga in Pamphylia; and John, departing from them, returned to Jerusalem.

1. Leaving Cyprus, they head for Perga.

1. Perga is a city in the region of Pamphylia.

2. It is about 7 miles up stream from the mouth of the Cestius River.

2. NOTE : A subtle change took place here. Paul is now named first.

1. At the beginning of this chapter he was fifth of the five prophets at Antioch. (13:1)

2. As they left on this this journey he was named second. (13:2)

3. Now, and from now on, Paul will be named first. In the movie industry this is called "top billing."

3. John (Mark) departed from them and went back to Jerusalem.

1. This is what caused the dispute between Barnabas and Paul in Acts 15:1-41.

2. Later, Demas would do the same. (2 Timothy 4:10)
