...does anyone know if the Apostle Paul planted trees in Cyprus?
Quite right mate. The Village Pumps and Springs were the the symbols of unity in all the old villages, making no distinctions of race or class between those who drank of the Blessed and Pure Water in the days before the acursed water boards brought their divisive plumbing and faucets in to everyone's home.
In those fairer days, all could drink to quench thirsts there and then. Each drinking to fill his/her needs. There was no glutinous hoarding in water tanks and deposita in those days. No wasteful hosing down of verandas.
As to the matter of Paul's Missions, the CY Journey is covered in Acts...
4 So they, being sent forth by the Holy Ghost, departed unto Seleucia; and from thence they sailed to Cyprus.
5 And when they were at Salamis, they preached the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews: and they had also John to their minister.
6 And when they had gone through the isle unto Paphos, they found a certain sorcerer, a false prophet, a Jew, whose name was Bar-jesus:
7 Which was with the deputy of the country, Sergius Paulus, a a prudent man; who called for Barnabas and Saul, and desired to hear the word of God.
8 But Elymas the sorcerer (for so is his name by interpretation) withstood them, seeking to turn away the deputy from the faith.
9 Then Saul, (who also is called Paul,) filled with the Holy Ghost, set his eyes on him,
10 And said, O full of all subtilty and all mischief, thou a child of the devil, thou be enemy of all righteousness, wilt thou not cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord?
11 And now, behold, the hand of the Lord is upon thee, and thou shalt be blind, not seeing the sun for a season. And immediately there fell on him a mist and a darkness; and he went about seeking some to lead him by the hand.
12 Then the deputy, when he saw what was done, believed, being astonished at the doctrine of the Lord.
.... and I'm not saying another word on the subject other than to say that the lesson is quoted as is, and I have resisted making bold any part of it ........
Damn! Then God must be Greek because all the New Testament authors claim to have been influenced by God!
