Acts 13:4-7
4 So, being sent out by the Holy Spirit, they went down to Seleucia, and from there they sailed to Cyprus. 5 And when they arrived in Salamis, they preached the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews. They also had John as their assistant. 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, 7 who was with the proconsul, Sergius Paulus, an intelligent man. This man called for Barnabas and Saul and sought to hear the word of God.
God's Spirit sent Barnabas and Saul on a trip by ship to the synagogues with His gospel. This good news was assisted by John, and to a provincial Roman governor who was drawn to ask for them to hear the words of life. But there was also a self proclaimed prophet who was a sorcerer set against God with the proconsul. So they went to speak with a godly assistant, John, to speak to a governor drawn to hear who had a false prophet with him. God speaks through us for many purposes at the same time. We are only to be faithful to go and tell.
