Acts 13:6

Now when they had gone through the island to Paphos, they found a certain sorcerer, a false prophet, a Jew whose name was Bar-Jesus,

1. Paphos - a city at the far western end of Cyprus. They had covered the island from one end to the other. They started at Salamis in the south east corner. Now they are 148 miles away, at the extreme western end of the island.

2. They found a sorcerer named Bar Jesus.

1. Bar - is the Hebrew term for "son of" and was often used as a descriptive term to identify a man by naming his father.

2. Jesus (Joshua in Hebrew) was not an unusual name. Jesus (Greek) and Joshua (Hebrew) both mean - savior. See Matthew 1:21.
