Acts 15:30-35
New King James Version
Continuing Ministry in Syria
30 So when they were sent off, they came to Antioch; and when they had gathered the multitude together, they delivered the letter. 31 When they had read it, they rejoiced over its encouragement. 32 Now Judas and Silas, themselves being (A)prophets also, (B)exhorted and strengthened the brethren with many words. 33 And after they had stayed there for a time, they were (C)sent back with greetings from the brethren to [a]the apostles.
34 [b]However, it seemed good to Silas to remain there. 35 (D)Paul and Barnabas also remained in Antioch, teaching and preaching the word of the Lord, with many others also.

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.
