Acts 14:21-28 - Paul And Barnabas Return To Antioch In Syria

²¹ and after preaching the gospel to that town and making a number of disciples, they turned back to Lystra, Iconium and Antioch, ²² strengthening the souls of the disciples, encouraging them to hold by the faith, and telling them that "we have to get into the Realm of God through many a trouble."

²³ They chose presbyters for them in every church, and with prayer and fasting entrusted them to the Lord in whom they had believed. ²⁴ Then they came through Pisidia to Pamphylia, ²⁵ and after speaking the word of the Lord in Perga they went down to Attaleia; ²⁶ thence they sailed for Antioch, where they had been commended to the grace of God for the work they had now completed. ²⁷ On their arrival they gathered the church together and reported how God had been with them, what he had done, and how he had opened a door into faith for the Gentiles. ²⁸ They spent a considerable time with the disciples there.
