The episode begins with the Holy Ghost sending Paul and Barnabas to Cyprus to do some work for him. While there, Paul blinded a man for opposing God and being a child of the devil.

The Jews tried to stone to death Paul and Barnabas twice, but they escaped without a single stone hitting them.

Chapter 15 has the famous Council of Jerusalem, where it seemed good to the Holy Ghost and to the apostles not to require male gentile converts to get circumcised. They wrote a letter to that effect, saying that only four things were required: abstaining from meat offered to idols, blood, things that are strangled, and fornication. When the epistle was read to the gentiles, there was much rejoicing.

The episode ends with Paul and Barnabas splitting up. Barnabas wanted John Mark to go with them, Paul said he wouldn't go if that guy came along. So they went their separate ways.
