The Letter Is Delivered to Antioch
30 So when[a] they were sent off, they came down to Antioch, and after[b] calling together the community, they delivered the letter. 31 And when they[c] read it[d] aloud, they rejoiced at the encouragement. 32 Both Judas and Silas, who were also prophets themselves, encouraged and strengthened the brothers by a long message. 33 And after[e] spending some time, they were sent away in peace from the brothers to those who had sent them.[f] 35 But Paul and Barnabas remained in Antioch teaching and proclaiming the word of the Lord with many others also.
