The Church in Antioch

¹⁹ Now those who had been scattered by the persecution that broke out when Stephen was killed^(A) traveled as far as Phoenicia, Cyprus and Antioch,^(B) spreading the word only among Jews. ²⁰ Some of them, however, men from Cyprus^(C) and Cyrene,^(D) went to Antioch^(E) and began to speak to Greeks also, telling them the good news^(F) about the Lord Jesus.

On Cyprus

⁴ The two of them, sent on their way by the Holy Spirit,^(A) went down to Seleucia and sailed from there to Cyprus.^(B)

³ After sighting Cyprus and passing to the south of it, we sailed on to Syria.^(A) We landed at Tyre, where our ship was to unload its cargo.

¹⁶ Some of the disciples from Caesarea^(A) accompanied us and brought us to the home of Mnason, where we were to stay. He was a man from Cyprus^(B) and one of the early disciples.
