Revised Common Lectionary (Complementary)
19 But certain Jews from Antioch and lconium came there, and they won the people over, and stoned Paul and drew him out of the city, supposing him to be dead. 20 However, as the disciples stood round about him, he rose up and went into the city.
And the next day, Paul departed with Barnabas to Derbe. 21 After they had preached to that city and had taught many, they returned again to Lystra, and to Iconium and Antioch, 22 and strengthened the disciples’ souls, exhorting them to continue in the faith, affirming that we must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God. 23 And they appointed elders by election in every congregation, and prayed and fasted, and committed them to God on whom they believed.
24 And they went through Pisidia, and came into Pamphylia. 25 And when they had preached the word of God in Perga, they descended into Attalia, 26 and from there returned by ship to Antioch, where they had been committed to the grace of God for the work that they had completed. 27 When they arrived and had gathered the congregation together, they described all that God had done by them, and how he had opened the door of faith to the Gentiles. 28 And they remained there a long time with the disciples.
