Acts 14:21-28

New King James Version

Strengthening the Converts

²¹And when they had preached the gospel to that city ^(A)and made many disciples, they returned to Lystra, Iconium, and Antioch, ²²strengthening the souls of the disciples, ^(B)exhorting them to continue in the faith, and saying, ^(C)“We must through many tribulations enter the kingdom of God.” ²³So when they had ^(D)appointed elders in every church, and prayed with fasting, they commended them to the Lord in whom they had believed. ²⁴And after they had passed through Pisidia, they came to Pamphylia. ²⁵Now when they had preached the word in Perga, they went down to Attalia. ²⁶From there they sailed to Antioch, where they had been commended to the grace of God for the work which they had completed.

²⁷Now when they had come and gathered the church together, ^(E)they reported all that God had done with them, and that He had ^(F)opened the door of faith to the Gentiles. ²⁸So they stayed there a long time with the disciples.

1894 Scrivener New Testament

²¹ευαγγελισαμενοι τε την πολιν εκεινην και μαθητευσαντες ικανους υπεστρεψαν εις την λυστραν και ικονιον και αντιοχειαν

²²επιστηριζοντες τας ψυχας των μαθητων παρακαλουντες εμμενειν τη πιστει και οτι δια πολλων θλιψεων δει ημας εισελθειν εις την βασιλειαν του θεου

²³χειροτονησαντες δε αυτοις πρεσβυτερους κατ εκκλησιαν προσευξαμενοι μετα νηστειων παρεθεντο αυτους τω κυριω εις ον πεπιστευκεισαν

²⁴και διελθοντες την πισιδιαν ηλθον εις παμφυλιαν

²⁵και λαλησαντες εν περγη τον λογον κατεβησαν εις ατταλειαν

²⁶κακειθεν απεπλευσαν εις αντιοχειαν οθεν ησαν παραδεδομενοι τη χαριτι του θεου εις το εργον ο επληρωσαν

²⁷παραγενομενοι δε και συναγαγοντες την εκκλησιαν ανηγγειλαν οσα εποιησεν ο θεος μετ αυτων και οτι ηνοιξεν τοις εθνεσιν θυραν πιστεως

²⁸διετριβον δε εκει χρονον ουκ ολιγον συν τοις μαθηταις
