When an opportunity presents to share the gospel sometimes others are stirred up to turn against those who are sharing the message.  In this episode we will see how Paul and Barnabas handled the persecution.  Also, we note that even though there was persecution there was also joy because some received the message and became followers of Jesus.    Even though the messengers and message were opposed the work and word was still successful because somebody received it!  Not all will accept the message, but some will!
