Questions about the Book of Acts

Acts is the fifth book of the New Testament. The book of Acts has often been called “The
Acts of the Holy Spirit.” The Holy Spirit is referred to more than fifty times in this one
book. This book is of the highest importance because it is the only inspired account of
the beginning of the early work of the Church. The book of Acts can be divided into eight
parts: 1) The Waiting Church. 2) From Pentecost to the conversion of Saul. 3) From the
conversion of Saul to the first missionary journey. 4) The First Missionary journey. 5)
The council at Jerusalem. 6) The second missionary journey. 7) The third missionary
journey. 8) From Jerusalem to Rome. The author of this book is Luke. Listed below are
questions on the book of Acts. These questions can be used freely for Sunday school or
bible study to help all young Christians study the scriptures. I believe that if you ask
yourself questions about God’s Word you can learn as you study. My prayers are with
you always and may God bless you in your studies.

CHAPTER 8

The First Missionary Journey

(Acts 13-15)
The Missionary Team is Sent Forth From Antioch
 

In Acts chapter 10 we learned that in the city of Caesarea, Cornelius and other Gentiles heard
the Word of God preached by Peter, believed it and were saved (see Chapter 6 of these
notes).  In Acts chapter 11 we learned that a great number of Gentiles in Antioch believed the
gospel and were saved (Acts 11:20-21).

God wanted the good news of salvation to go to other cities as well. Other Gentiles (and Jews
too) needed to hear the gospel message. The believers in the city of Antioch wanted the same
thing God wanted. They wanted to send forth God’s message of salvation to others. As these
believers prayed and looked for God’s will, the Holy Spirit set apart two men. Who were
these two men (Acts 13:2)?     1) ____________________    2) ___________ God had a great
work for these two men to do!

Who sent forth these men on their missionary journey (Acts 13:4)?
_______________________________________________  The Lord Jesus once told his
disciples to pray and ask the _____________ of the harvest to send forth laborers (workers)
into His harvest (Matthew 9:38). God sends forth the workers into His harvest field!

The believers in Antioch also had a part in this great work. Before Barnabas and Saul were
sent forth, the believers prayed and laid their ___________ upon them (Acts 13:3). This
laying on of hands communicated the following: "Barnabas and Saul, we know that God has
called you and set you apart for this work. We are putting our hands on you because we are
identifying with you in this work and we want you to know that we will be praying for you
and asking God to bless your ministry."

God’s laborers or workers for this important mission were Barnabas and Saul, but there was
another man who came along to be a helper. His name was ____________ (Acts 13:5), who
was also called M_________ (Acts 12:25). This was the same man who later wrote the
gospel of Mark. Mark was the cousin of Barnabas (Colossians 4:10).
 

The Missionary Journey

This first missionary journey lasted about a year and a half, and the missionary team traveled
hundreds of miles by sea and by land. The following map shows all the places where they
went. As you read Acts chapters 13 and 14, you can refer to the following map to see where
Barnabas and Saul went.

[The above map is taken from The MacMillan Bible Atlas by Yohanan Aharoni and Michael Avi-Yonah (The
MacMillan Company, NY), 1968, page 154.]  The starting point was Antioch seen on the far right.
 

The Island of Cyprus

The missionaries began their journey by boarding a boat and sailing to the large island of
Cyprus. Barnabas knew this island well because Cyprus had been his home (Acts 4:36).

Their first stop was the city of Salamis where they preached the word of God in the
____________________________ of the Jews (Acts 13:5). A synagogue was a place where
the Jews would assemble together to pray and to read the Scriptures. Usually when Saul and
Barnabas entered a city, they would stop first at the synagogue and preach Christ to the Jews.
Next they traveled to the other end of the island to the city of Paphos. Here they met a
magician named Barjesus or Elymas (Acts 13:6-8). This man was a Jew who claimed to be a
true prophet of God. Was he really a true prophet or was he a false prophet. (Acts 13:6)?
__________________________ Was he a friend or an enemy (Acts 13:10)?
________________ Was he a child of God or a child of the devil (Acts 13:10)?
_________________________________ Whenever God does a great work, Satan tries to
hinder it and stop it. Did this magician want Sergius Paulus to hear God’s Word (Acts 13:7-
8)? _______

God’s hand came down upon this evil man in judgment. What happened to the magician
(Acts 13:11)?

a. He was struck down dead.

b. He was blinded.
c. He was afflicted with leprosy.
d. He became deaf.

This man was already spiritually blind (John 3:19-20; 1 John 2:11) and suddenly because of
God’s judgment he became physically blind also! As a result of this miracle, what did Sergius
Paulus the deputy do (Acts 13:12)? ___________________________________

In Acts 13:9 we learn that Saul was also called ____________. Before Acts 13:9 he is always
called "Saul" and after Acts 13:9 he is always called "Paul."   From now on in these notes we
will refer to him as PAUL.
 

Antioch in Pisidia

The team left Cyprus and arrived in Perga (this trip was about 180 miles over water). It was
at Perga that John Mark decided to turn back (see Acts 13:13 and 15:38). From this point on,
Paul and Barnabas would travel without Mark.

The next city which they came to was A_________________ in Pisidia (Acts 13:14). On the
map (shown earlier in this chapter) you can see that there were two cities called Antioch.

Paul and Barnabas entered the Jewish synagogue on the Sabbath day (Saturday) and sat down
(Acts 13:14). After the Scripture was read, the rulers of the synagogue asked Paul and
Barnabas if they had anything they wanted to say to the people (Acts 13:15). Who stood up
and began speaking (Acts 13:16)? ________________________

Paul’s message is found in Acts 13:16-41. In his message he talked about certain things from
the Old Testament which were very familiar to the Jews (such as the time when God
delivered the Israelites from Egypt, the wilderness journey, the period of the judges, King
Saul and King David). He then preached Christ to them. At the end of this message he told
them how they could have their sins forgiven and how they could be justified (Acts 13:38-
39). According to Paul, who will God forgive and justify (see verse 39)?

a. All who believe

b. All who believe and are circumcised
c. All who believe and keep the law of Moses
 d. All who believe and try to live a good life

Some Gentiles also attended the synagogue services. After Paul had finished preaching the
gospel, who wanted him to return to preach again on the next Sabbath--the Jews or the
Gentiles (Acts 13:42)?  _______________________ Who returned to hear Paul one week
later--a few people or a great crowd (Acts 13:44)?
________________________________________

Who caused trouble for Paul and Barnabas and forced them to leave the city of Antioch (Acts
13:45,50)? __________________ Why did Paul and Barnabas shake off the dust from their
feet (see Acts 13:51 and compare Matthew 10:14)?

The unbelieving Jews were filled with _______________ (Acts 13:45) or jealousy, but the
saved Jews and Gentiles were filled with ________ (Acts 13:52).  The Holy Spirit was doing
a mighty work in the hearts of men and women.
 

Iconium

The next city was Iconium (Acts 14:1) and again Paul and Barnabas entered the synagogue
and preached the good news of salvation. According to Acts 14:1, did some Jews believe?
______  Did some Greeks (Gentiles) believe?  ______   Who caused trouble for Paul and
Barnabas (Acts 14:2)?  The unbelieving   ________

Did they stay a short time or a long time in this city (Acts 14:3)?
________________________ Did God perform miracles through Paul and Barnabas (Acts
14:3)? ________

The city was divided--some were for Paul and Barnabas and others were against them (Acts
14:4). They had friends and they had enemies. Some loved them and others hated them.

Was the same thing true when the Lord Jesus preached? Were the people divided (see John
10:19-21)? _______

Finally Paul and Barnabas were forced to flee from the city of Iconium because their enemies
were about to S________________ them (Acts l4: 5-6)!
 

Lystra and Derbe

The next city they came to was Lystra. Here they found a crippled man who never had
W_____________ (Acts 14:8). What happened to this man (Acts 14:9-10)?
____________________________________________

The people at Lystra were very superstitious. When they saw this great miracle, they thought
that Barnabas and Paul were gods that had come down to earth in the likeness of men!
According to Acts 14:12, they called Barnabas J___________________ (or Zeus, the King of
the gods) and they called Paul "Mercury" (or Hermes, the messenger of the gods). In Greek
and Roman mythology, Mercury was the god who carried messages from the gods to men.
He had winged feet. They probably thought Paul was the messenger god because he did most
of the talking.

When the people of the city were about to sacrifice animals to these two "gods," who stopped
them (Acts 14:13-18)? __________ Paul was able to use this opportunity to preach to them
about the true and living God. Read Acts 14:15 and MATCH the following:

1._____  Paul and Barnabas A.  The One who made heaven
and earth and the sea and all
things that are in them.

2. _____  "these vanities" B. "We are just men like you."

3._____   the living God C.  The false gods and idols that
  the people of Lystra worshipped

Paul’s enemies from Antioch and Iconium were not satisfied that Paul had left their cities.
These Jews chased after Paul and Barnabas and came all the way to Lystra. They wanted to
stop Paul from preaching once and for all. What did they do to Paul (Acts 14:19)?
__________________________________ Did Paul mention this in 2 Corinthians 11:25? 
______

After they did this wicked deed, they dragged Paul out of the city, thinking that he was
________ (Acts 14:19). Was he really dead?   _____ Not many people are stoned and then
live to tell about it!  The Lord took care of Paul in a remarkable way.  Paul rose up and the
very next day he traveled to Derbe. God strengthened Paul in a wonderful way! If this were to
happen to someone today, he would probably need at least a month in a hospital to recover!
But God worked in Paul’s body and strengthened him so that he could travel and preach
immediately.

Derbe was one city where Paul was not greatly persecuted. In all of the other cities, the
unbelieving Jews had persecuted God’s missionaries and even tried to kill them. Read what
Paul says about other Jews who tried to persecute believers (1 Thessalonians 2:15-16).  The
Jewish people were very hostile to the preaching of the gospel.
 

The Return Trip

After preaching and teaching in Derbe, Paul returned again to Lystra (where he was stoned),
to Iconium (where he was almost stoned) and to Antioch (where he was expelled from the
city)–see Acts 14:21. Why would the missionary team want to return to these places? Either
they were very crazy or they were very courageous!

Paul and Barnabas were concerned about the believers who were in these cities (Acts 14:22).
They wanted to encourage these disciples (Acts 14:22) and make sure that each church had
men who could lead and teach the believers (Acts 14:23). The disciples were told to
C____________________ (Acts 14:22) in the faith (to stay true to the Lord even though
persecution might come and things might get very difficult). Paul and Barnabas told them
that through much T_________________________ (trouble, pressure, difficulty) they would
enter into the kingdom of God (Acts 14:22). Did Jesus tell his disciples to expect tribulation
(John 16:33)? _______

Sometimes people receive God’s Word with joy, but when tribulation or persecution comes
because of God’s Word, then they fall away (Matthew 13:20-21). Paul and Barnabas did not
want this to happen to the believers in these cities. They wanted them to continue in the faith
and to trust God to help them overcome every difficulty and danger. The same God who
helped Paul and Barnabas and protected them in a wonderful way was the same God who
could take care of these new believers.

Finally the missionary team returned to Antioch, the church from which they had been sent
forth (Acts 14:26). Paul and Barnabas gave a wonderful report of the great things God had
done, and especially how God had opened the __________ of faith unto the
G_______________ (Acts 14:27).
 

What Must The Gentiles Do In Order To Be Saved?

Certain Jews from Judaea cane to Antioch and told the Gentile believers something that was
false. They said, "You cannot be saved unless you are CIRCUMCISED after the manner of
Moses" (Acts 15:1). Circumcision was something that was done to every Jewish man (usually
eight days after birth). See Genesis 17:10-14. Other Jews began teaching that the Gentiles
must be circumcised and they must also keep the law of Moses in order to be saved. Was this
teaching true or false? What does the Bible say?

1. When Peter preached to Cornelius the Gentile, did he tell him to be circumcised and keep
the law of Moses, or did he tell him to believe in Christ (Acts 10:43)?
_____________________
 
2. When Paul preached in the synagogue in Antioch (where Gentiles were present also--see
Acts 13:42), did he tell the people to be saved by circumcision or did he tell them to be
saved by faith (Acts 13:38-39)? ____________________________
 
3. According to Peter, are people saved through circumcision and keeping the law, or are
people saved by grace (Acts 15:11)?____________________________
 
4. What does Acts 16:31 really say?  (circle the correct answer)

1. "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and be circumcised and thou shalt be saved."

2. "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and keep the law and thou shalt be saved."

3. "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved."

 
Have you done this?  Are you saved?  How do you know you are?  Are you thankful that the
gospel message has gone to the Gentiles?  Are you thankful for the simplicity of the gospel
message?
