Notes

Acts 13:12

The teaching about the Lord included a miracle showing divine power (compare Mark 1:21–27). This was because it was a teaching about the living God (see Acts 14:15).

Acts 13:6–12

In Paphos, a false prophet caused a power struggle. This resulted in a display of God's power, and the Roman proconsul (governor) became a Christian.
