Acts 15:30-35

The Letter Is Delivered to Antioch

30 So [when] they were sent off, they came down to Antioch, and [after] calling together the community, they delivered the letter.

31 And [when they] read [it] aloud, they rejoiced at the encouragement.

32 Both Judas and Silas, who were also prophets themselves, encouraged and strengthened the brothers by a long message.

33 And [after] spending [some] time, they were sent away in peace from the brothers to those who had sent them.

35 But Paul and Barnabas remained in Antioch teaching and proclaiming the word of the Lord with many others also.
