Acts 14:21-28

Acts 14:21-28 CSB

After they had preached the gospel in that town and made many disciples, they returned to Lystra, to Iconium, and to Antioch,  strengthening the  disciples by encouraging them to continue in the faith  and by telling them, “It is necessary to go through many hardships  to enter the kingdom of God.” When they had appointed elders  for them in every church and prayed with fasting, they committed them to the Lord in whom they had believed. They passed through Pisidia and came to Pamphylia. After they had spoken the word in Perga, they went down to Attalia. From there they sailed back to Antioch where they had been commended to the grace of God for the work they had now completed.  After they arrived and gathered the church together, they reported everything God had done with them  and that he had opened the door  of faith to the Gentiles. And they spent a considerable time with the disciples.
