Returning to Antioch
21 Paul and Barnabas proclaimed the good news to the people in Derbe and made many disciples. Then they returned to Lystra, Iconium, and Antioch, where
22
they strengthened the disciples and urged them to remain firm in the faith. They told them, "If we are to enter God's kingdom, we must pass through many troubles."
23
They appointed elders for each church. With prayer and fasting, they committed these elders to the Lord, in whom they had placed their trust.
24
After Paul and Barnabas traveled through Pisidia, they came to Pamphylia.
25
They proclaimed the word in Perga, then went down to Attalia.
26
From there they sailed to Antioch, where they had been entrusted by God's grace to the work they had now completed.
27
On their arrival, they gathered the church together and reported everything that God had accomplished through their activity, and how God had opened a door of faith for the Gentiles.
28
They stayed with the disciples a long time.
