The Jerusalem Decree
Then it pleased the apostles and elders, with the whole church, to send chosen men of their own company to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas, namely, Judas who was also named Barsabas, and Silas, leading men among the brethren.
-
We have therefore sent Judas and Silas, who will also report the same things by word of mouth.
-
Now Judas and Silas, themselves being prophets also, exhorted and strengthened the brethren with many words.
-
However, it seemed good to Silas to remain there.
-
but Paul chose Silas and departed, being commended by the brethren to the grace of God.

Paul and Silas Imprisoned
Now it happened, as we went to prayer, that a certain slave girl possessed with a spirit of divination met us, who brought her masters much profit by fortune-telling.

But when her masters saw that their hope of profit was gone, they seized Paul and Silas and dragged them into the marketplace to the authorities.

The Philippian Jailer Saved
But at midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to them.
-
Then he called for a light, ran in, and fell down trembling before Paul and Silas.
-
And some of them were persuaded; and a great multitude of the devout Greeks, and not a few of the leading women, joined Paul and Silas.

Ministering at Berea
Then the brethren immediately sent Paul and Silas away by night to Berea. When they arrived, they went into the synagogue of the Jews.
-
Then immediately the brethren sent Paul away, to go to the sea; but both Silas and Timothy remained there.
-
So those who conducted Paul brought him to Athens; and receiving a command for Silas and Timothy to come to him with all speed, they departed.
-
When Silas and Timothy had come from Macedonia, Paul was compelled by the Spirit, and testified to the Jews that Jesus is the Christ.
