There was no mag- netic touch, no treatment, only the command, and the naturally impossible became the possible and the real. 2. The method (vv. 11-13). They called Barnabas Jupiter and Paul Mer- cury, because he was the chief speaker. The priest of Jupiter brought oxen and garlands ready to offer sacrifices unto those men (v. 11).
