The Council’s Letter to Gentile Believers

²² Then the apostles and the elders, with the consent of the whole church, decided to choose men from among them and to send them to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas. They sent Judas called Barsabbas, and Silas, leaders among the brothers,

²⁷ We have therefore sent Judas and Silas, who themselves will tell you the same things by word of mouth.

³² Judas and Silas, who were themselves prophets, said much to encourage and strengthen the brothers and sisters.

⁴⁰ But Paul chose Silas and set out, the brothers and sisters commending him to the grace of the Lord.
