Paul and Barnabas Return to Antioch in Syria

14:21 After they had proclaimed the good news in that city and made many disciples, they returned to Lystra,67 to Iconium,68 and to Antioch.69 14:22 They strengthened70 the souls of the disciples and encouraged them to continue71 in the faith, saying, “We must enter the kingdom72 of God through many persecutions.”73 14:23 When they had appointed elders74 for them in the various churches,75 with prayer and fasting76 they entrusted them to the protection77 of the Lord in whom they had believed. 14:24 Then they passed through78 Pisidia and came into Pamphylia,79 14:25 and when they had spoken the word80 in Perga,81 they went down to Attalia.82 14:26 From there they sailed back to Antioch,83 where they had been commended84 to the grace of God for the work they had now completed.85 14:27 When they arrived and gathered the church together, they reported86 all the things God87 had done with them, and that he had opened a door88 of faith for the Gentiles. 14:28 So they spent89 considerable90 time with the disciples.
