Paul and Barnabas Return to Antioch

21 Paul and Barnabas preached the good news in the city of Derbe. They won large numbers of followers. Then they returned to Lystra, Iconium and Antioch.

22 There they helped the believers gain strength. They told them to remain true to what they had been taught. "We must go through many hard times to enter God's kingdom," they said.

23 Paul and Barnabas appointed elders for them in each church. The elders had trusted in the Lord. Paul and Barnabas prayed and fasted. They placed the elders in the Lord's care.

24 After going through Pisidia, Paul and Barnabas came into Pamphylia.

25 They preached the word in Perga. Then they went down to Attalia.

26 From Attalia they sailed back to Antioch. That was where they had been committed to God's grace. They had now completed the work God had given them to do.

27 When they arrived at Antioch, they gathered the church together. They reported all that God had done through them. They told how he had opened the way for non-Jews to believe.

28 And they stayed there a long time with the believers.
