21They preached the gospel to that city and made many disciples. Then they returned to Lystra, Iconium, and Antioch,
22strengthening the souls of the disciples and encouraging them to continue in the faith. “We must endure many hardships to enter the kingdom of God,” they said.
23Paul and Barnabas appointed elders for them in each church, praying and fasting as they entrusted them to the Lord, in whom they had believed.
24After passing through Pisidia, they came to Pamphylia.
25And when they had spoken the word in Perga, they went down to Attalia.
26From Attalia they sailed to Antioch, where they had been commended to the grace of God for the work they had just completed.
27When they arrived, they gathered the church together and reported all that God had done through them, and how He had opened the door of faith to the Gentiles.
28And they spent a long time there with the disciples.
