Kisah Para Rasul 13:13

Paul and Barnabas at Pisidian Antioch

13:13 Then Paul and his companions put out to sea ⁴  from Paphos ⁵  and came to Perga ⁶  in Pamphylia, ⁷  but John ⁸  left them and returned to Jerusalem. ⁹ 

[13:6]  ¹ tn Or “had passed through,” “had traveled through.”

[13:6]  ² sn Paphos. A city on the southwestern coast of the island of Cyprus. It was the seat of the Roman proconsul.

[13:6]  ³ sn Named Bar-Jesus. “Jesus” is the Latin form of the name “Joshua.” The Aramaic “bar” means “son of,” so this man was surnamed “son of Joshua.” The scene depicts the conflict between Judaism and the emerging new faith at a cosmic level, much like the Simon Magus incident in Acts 8:9-24. Paul’s ministry looks like Philip’s and Peter’s here.

[13:13]  ⁴ tn BDAG 62 s.v. ἀνάγω 4, “as a nautical t.t. (ἀ. τὴν ναῦν put a ship to sea), mid. or pass. ἀνάγεσθαι to begin to go by boat, put out to sea.”

[13:13]  ⁵ sn Paphos was a city on the southwestern coast of the island of Cyprus. See Acts 13:6.

[13:13]  ⁶ sn Perga was a city in Pamphylia near the southern coast of Asia Minor. The journey from Paphos to Perga is about 105 mi (175 km).

[13:13]  ⁷ sn Pamphylia was a province in the southern part of Asia Minor.

[13:13]  ⁸ sn That is, John Mark.

[13:13]  ⁹ sn Returned to Jerusalem. John Mark had originally accompanied them from Jerusalem (see Acts 12:25). John Mark’s decision to leave became an issue later for Barnabas and Paul (Acts 15:36-39).
