When, however, the disciples had collected round him, he rose and went back into the town. The next day he went with Barnabas to Derbe;
21
and, after proclaiming the Good News to the people there and gaining a large number of converts, they retraced their steps to Lystra, Iconium, and Antioch.
22
Everywhere they strengthened the disciples by encouraging them to hold fast to the faith, and warned them saying, "It is through many afflictions that we must make our way into the Kingdom of God."
23

Then passing through Pisidia they came into Pamphylia;
25
and after telling the Message at Perga they came down to Attaleia.
26

27
