What Paul Did

Acts 13-14

  • 13:3 Paul and Barnabas sent by the church at Antioch
  • 13:5 They proclaimed the Word of God
  • 13:10 Paul rebuked a magician
  • 13:16 Paul preached
  • 14:1 They spoke
  • 14:7 They continued to preach the Gospel
  • 14:10 Paul (well, God!) healed a crippled man
  • 14:21 More preaching
Acts 17

  • 17:2 Paul preached
  • 17:10 Went into the synagogue
  • 17:17 Reasoned in the synagogue and marketplace
  • 18:3 Paul worked as a tentmaker
  • 18:4 Paul preached regularly
Basically, Paul preached, preached, preached! But then there is this -

Acts 19:11-12
And God was doing extraordinary miracles by the hands of Paul, so that even handkerchiefs or aprons that had touched his skin were carried away to the sick, and their diseases left them and the evil spirits came out of them.

So it seems.....that healing and preaching just go hand in hand. Next, I will look for more sharing and sending of money in the NT.
