2
Of whom the brothers at Lystra and Iconium had a high opinion.
3
Paul had a desire for him to go with him, and he gave him circumcision because of the Jews who were in those parts: for they all had knowledge that his father was a Greek.

And on their way through the towns, they gave them the rules which had been made by the Apostles and the rulers of the church at Jerusalem, so that they might keep them.

6
And after they had gone through the land of Phrygia and Galatia, the Holy Spirit did not let them take the word into Asia;

8
And going past Mysia, they came down to Troas.
