    Beginning of Paul's Ministry

    Uploaded by

    Prof.M.M.Ninan
    Paul began his ministry by preaching boldly in Damascus after his conversion, which caused the Jews to plot to kill him. He escaped by being lowered in a basket from the city wall. He then went to Jerusalem and preached there, but had to flee due to threats. He returned to his home in Tarsus for several years. Barnabas later brought him to Antioch to assist with ministry there, where the disciples were first called Christians. Paul and Barnabas also brought famine relief from Antioch to Jerusalem.

    Ninan
    The Beginning of Paul's
    Ministry

    “The builder and the Architect of the Church”

    Acts 9:19 – 25

    the Jews living in Damascus
    by proving that

    Jesus is the Christ


    Preaches in the synagogues--Acts 9:20-22

    Paul began to preach the gospel


    "boldly in the name of Jesus" (Acts 9:27),
    Jews plotted to kill him.

    Damascus
    Jews plotted to kill him

    Acts 9:25; 2 Cor. 11:33

    Kanissat Bab Kisan is, in
    English, Chapel of St.
    Paul. It is a gate at the
    southeastern part of the
    Old City where, tradition
    says, Saul was lowered in
    a basket to escape the
    Nabatean governor.

    Acts 9:20-31
    The reference 2 Corinthians to Aretas, the Nabatean king,
    fixes the date of Saul’s conversion between 34 and 37 AD.
    Inside the relatively small and simple church there are a
    couple of relief sculptures illustrating the two great
    moments in the life of Paul.
    Paul went to Jerusalem to meet the
    Apostles.(Acts 9:26).

    Damascus

    Jerusalem
    Act 9:26 And when he had come to Jerusalem he
    attempted to join the disciples
    Barnabas persuaded the Jerusalem community
    to accept Paul as a disciple. He preached boldly
    in Jerusalem. Act 9:27-29

    Clement of Alexandria
    (Titus Flavius Clemens)
    and
    Eusebius of Caesarea

    says that Barnabas


    was one of the seventy Disciples
    3 12 70 150

    but Acts (4: 36-37) favours the opinion


    that he was converted to Christianity
    shortly after Pentecost (about A.D. 29 or
    30) and immediately sold his property and
    devoted the proceeds to the Church.
    Barnabas is traditionally considered the founder of the
    Cypriot church and to have been martyred at Salamis c.
    61.
    The ancient
    Cypriot Orthodox Church
    is one of the sixteen independent
    ('autocephalous')
    Eastern Orthodox churches,
    The bishop of the capital,
    Salamis (Constantia),
    was constituted metropolitan
    by Emperor Zeno,
    with the title of archbishop.
    This independent position by ancient custom was
    recognized, against the claims of the
    Patriarch of Antioch, at the Council of Ephesus (431
    CE), and by an edict of the Byzantine emperor Zeno.

    Some say he founded the see of Milan.

    Tertullian says that Barnabas, not Paul,


    wrote
    the epistle to the Hebrews
    Paul preached in Jerusalem for three
    weeks and had to go away.
    Galatians 1:18-20 Then after three years I did
    go up to Jerusalem to visit Cephas and stayed
    with him fifteen days; but I did not see any other
    apostle except James the Lord’s brother.

    The neo-convert Saul is welcomed

    guiding and directing the newly
    established Christian community at
    Antioch
    (Acts 11:19-26),
    Barnabas brought Saul into
    Antiochian ministry. Act. 11:25 -
    It was in Antioch, that believers were first called
    Christians.
    Act. 12:26
    Ignatius of Antioch
    Ignatius became Bishop of Antioch around AD 69.
    He was arrested by soldiers loyal to Emperor Trajan
    during a time when Christians were being actively
    persecuted. After his arrest, he was sent to Rome to
    be executed by means of wild beasts. As the legend
    is told, Ignatius's faith remained steadfast, as he
    continued to loudly call upon Jesus' name as he was
    being torn to pieces.
    Antioch sends famine relief to Jerusalem in
    the hands of Barnabas and Paul.
