21After they had announced good news to that city and had discipled a sufficient number, they returned to Lystra, Iconium, and Antioch.22They strengthened the souls of the disciples and pleaded with them to continue in the faith, saying that it is through many pressures that we must enter the kingdom of God.23Then they appointed elders for them in each assembly; after praying with fastings, they entrusted them to the Lord in whom they had believed.24They passed through Pisidia and came to Pamphylia.25After speaking the word in Perga, they went down to Attalia.26From there they sailed to Antioch, from which place they had been committed to the grace of God for the work they had completed.27When they arrived and gathered the assembly, they reported all that God had done with them and that he had opened a door of faith to the Gentiles.28They remained there for a considerable time with the disciples.
