The Return to Antioch in Syria

²¹ They preached the gospel^(A) in that city and won a large number^(B) of disciples. Then they returned to Lystra, Iconium^(C) and Antioch, ²² strengthening the disciples and encouraging them to remain true to the faith.^(D) “We must go through many hardships^(E) to enter the kingdom of God,” they said. ²³ Paul and Barnabas appointed elders^[a](F) for them in each church and, with prayer and fasting,^(G) committed them to the Lord,^(H) in whom they had put their trust. ²⁴ After going through Pisidia, they came into Pamphylia,^{(I) 25} and when they had preached the word in Perga, they went down to Attalia.
