Acts 14:16-26 in English

¹⁶ who in the generations gone by suffered all the nations to walk in their own ways.

¹⁷ And yet he left not himself without witness, in that he did good and gave you from heaven rains and fruitful seasons, filling your hearts with food and gladness.

¹⁸ And with these sayings scarce restrained they the multitudes from doing sacrifice unto them.

¹⁹ But there came Jews thither from Antioch and Iconium: and having persuaded the multitudes, they stoned Paul, and dragged him out of the city, supposing that he was dead.

²⁰ But as the disciples stood round about him, he rose up, and entered into the city: and on the morrow he went forth with Barnabas to Derbe.

²¹ And when they had preached the gospel to that city, and had made many disciples, they returned to Lystra, and to Iconium, and to Antioch,

²² confirming the souls of the disciples, exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that through many tribulations we must enter into the kingdom of God.

²³ And when they had appointed for them elders in every church, and had prayed with fasting, they commended them to the Lord, on whom they had believed.

²⁴ And they passed through Pisidia, and came to Pamphylia.

²⁵ And when they had spoken the word in Perga, they went down to Attalia;

²⁶ and thence they sailed to Antioch, from whence they had been committed to the grace of God for the work which they had fulfilled.

¹⁶ Who in times past suffered all nations to walk in their own ways.

¹⁷ Nevertheless he left not himself without witness, in that he did good, and gave us rain from heaven, and fruitful seasons, filling our hearts with food and gladness.

¹⁸ And with these sayings scarce restrained they the people, that they had not done sacrifice unto them.

¹⁹ And there came thither certain Jews from Antioch and Iconium, who persuaded the people, and, having stoned Paul, drew him out of the city, supposing he had been dead.

²⁰ Howbeit, as the disciples stood round about him, he rose up, and came into the city: and the next day he departed with Barnabas to Derbe.

²¹ And when they had preached the gospel to that city, and had taught many, they returned again to Lystra, and to Iconium, and Antioch,

²² Confirming the souls of the disciples, and exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that we must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God.

²³ And when they had ordained them elders in every church, and had prayed with fasting, they commended them to the Lord, on whom they believed.

²⁴ And after they had passed throughout Pisidia, they came to Pamphylia.

²⁵ And when they had preached the word in Perga, they went down into Attalia:

²⁶ And thence sailed to Antioch, from whence they had been recommended to the grace of God for the work which they fulfilled.

¹⁶ who in the generations gone by suffered all the nations to walk in their own ways.

¹⁷ And yet he left not himself without witness, in that he did good, and gave you from heaven rains and fruitful seasons, filling your hearts with food and gladness.

¹⁸ And with these sayings scarce restrained they the multitudes from doing sacrifice unto them.

¹⁹ But there came Jews thither from Antioch and Iconium: and having persuaded the multitudes, they stoned Paul, and dragged him out of the city, supposing that he was dead.

²² confirming the souls of the disciples, exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that through many tribulations we must enter into the kingdom of God.

²³ And when they had appointed for them elders in every church, and had prayed with fasting, they commended them to the Lord, on whom they had believed.

²⁴ And they passed through Pisidia, and came to Pamphylia.

²⁵ And when they had spoken the word in Perga, they went down to Attalia;

²⁶ and thence they sailed to Antioch, from whence they had been committed to the grace of God for the work which they had fulfilled.

¹⁶ In the past, all of you non-Jewish people worshipped whatever gods that you wanted to. God let you worship them, because you did not know him.

¹⁷ But he has shown us LIT that he acts kindly toward us(inc). He is the one who causes it to rain and causes crops to grow. He is the one who gives you plenty of food, and makes you very happy.”

¹⁸ The people heard what Paul said, but they still thought that they should sacrifice those bulls to worship Paul and Barnabas. But finally, the people decided not to do it.

¹⁹ However, after that, some Jews came from Antioch and Iconium and persuaded many of the people of Lystra that the message Paul had been telling them was not true. The people who believed what those Jews said became angry with Paul. They let the Jews throw stones at him until he fell down, unconscious. They all thought that he was dead, so they dragged him outside the city and left him lying there. But some of the believers in Lystra had followed them outside the city.

²⁰ They came and stood around Paul, where he was lying on the ground. And Paul became conscious! He stood up and went back into the city with the believers. Acts 14:20b-23 The next day, Paul and Barnabas left Lystra and traveled to Derbe.

²¹ They stayed there several days and they kept telling the people the good message about Jesus. Many people became believers. After that, Paul and Barnabas started on their way back. They went again to Lystra. Then they went from there to Iconium, and then they went to Antioch in Pisidia province.

²² In each city, they helped the believers SYN to become strong spiritually, and they urged them to keep on trusting in the Lord Jesus. They told the believers, “It is necessary that we endure people often persecuting us (inc) before we enter the place where God will rule over us forever.”

²³ Paul and Barnabas appointed leaders for each congregation. And before Paul and Barnabas left each town, they gathered the believers together and spent some time praying and ◄fasting/not eating any food►. Then Paul and Barnabas entrusted the leaders and other believers to the Lord Jesus, in whom they had believed, in order that he would care for them.

²⁴ After Paul and Barnabas had traveled through Pisidia district, they went south to Pamphylia district.

²⁵ In that district, they arrived at Perga and preached God's message about the Lord Jesus to the people there. Then they went down to the seacoast at Attalia.

²⁶ There they got on a ship and went back to Antioch in Syria province. That was the place where Paul and Barnabas had been appointed {where believers had sent Paul and Barnabas} to go to other places and preach. Antioch was the place where the believers had asked God to kindly help Paul and Barnabas in the work that they had now completed.

¹⁶ who in the generations gone by allowed all the nations to walk in their own ways.

¹⁷ Yet he didn’t leave himself without witness, in that he did good and gave you rains from the sky and fruitful seasons, filling our hearts with food and gladness.”

¹⁸ Even saying these things, they hardly stopped the multitudes from making a sacrifice to them.

¹⁹ But some Jews from Antioch and Iconium came there, and having persuaded the multitudes, they stoned Paul and dragged him out of the city, supposing that he was dead.

²⁰ But as the disciples stood around him, he rose up, and entered into the city. On the next day he went out with Barnabas to Derbe.

²¹ When they had preached the Good News to that city and had made many disciples, they returned to Lystra, Iconium, and Antioch,

²² strengthening the souls of the disciples, exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that through many afflictions we must enter into God’s Kingdom.

²³ When they had appointed elders for them in every assembly, and had prayed with fasting, they commended them to the Lord on whom they had believed.

²⁴ They passed through Pisidia and came to Pamphylia.

²⁵ When they had spoken the word in Perga, they went down to Attalia.

²⁶ From there they sailed to Antioch, from where they had been committed to the grace of God for the work which they had fulfilled.

¹⁶ who in the generations gone by allowed all the nations to walk in their own ways.

¹⁷ Yet he didn’t leave himself without witness, in that he did good and gave you rains from the sky and fruitful seasons, filling our hearts with food and gladness.”

¹⁶ who in the generations gone by allowed all the nations to walk in their own ways.

¹⁸ Even saying these things, they hardly stopped the multitudes from making a sacrifice to them.

¹⁹ But some Jews from Antioch and Iconium came there, and having persuaded the multitudes, they stoned Paul and dragged him out of the city, supposing that he was dead.

²⁰ But as the disciples stood around him, he rose up, and entered into the city. On the next day he went out with Barnabas to Derbe.

²¹ When they had preached the Good News to that city and had made many disciples, they returned to Lystra, Iconium, and Antioch,

²² strengthening the souls of the disciples, exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that through many afflictions we must enter into God’s Kingdom.

²³ When they had appointed elders for them in every assembly, and had prayed with fasting, they commended them to the Lord on whom they had believed.

²⁴ They passed through Pisidia and came to Pamphylia.

²⁵ When they had spoken the word in Perga, they went down to Attalia.

²⁶ From there they sailed to Antioch, from where they had been committed to the grace of God for the work which they had fulfilled.

¹⁶ Who in the past let all nations go in the ways which seemed good to them.

¹⁷ But he was not without witness, because he did good, and gave you rain from heaven and times of fruit, making your hearts full of food and joy.

¹⁸ And even with these words, it was hard for them to keep the people from making an offering to them.

¹⁹ But some Jews came to that place from Antioch and Iconium, and got control over the people; and after stoning Paul, they had him pulled out of the town, taking him for dead.

²⁰ But when the disciples came round him, he got up and went into the town: and the day after he went away with Barnabas to Derbe.

²¹ And having made a number of disciples through the preaching of the good news in that town, they went back to Lystra and Iconium and Antioch,

²² Making strong the souls of the disciples, saying to them that they were to keep the faith, and that we have to go through troubles of all sorts to come into the kingdom of God.

²³ And when they had made selection of some to be rulers in every church, and had given themselves to prayer and kept themselves from food, they put them into the care of the Lord in whom they had faith.

²⁴ And they went through Pisidia and came to Pamphylia.

²⁵ And, after preaching the word in Perga, they went down to Attalia;

²⁶ And from there they went by ship to Antioch, where they had been handed over to the grace of God for the work which they had not done.

¹⁶ who in the past generations suffered all the nations to go in their own ways,

¹⁷ though indeed he did not leave himself without witness, doing good, and giving to you from heaven rain and fruitful seasons, filling your hearts with food and gladness.

¹⁸ And saying these things, they with difficulty kept the crowds from sacrificing to them.

¹⁹ But there came Jews from Antioch and Iconium, and having persuaded the crowds and stoned Paul, drew him out of the city, supposing him to have died.

²⁰ But while the disciples encircled him, he rose up and entered into the city. And on the morrow he went away with Barnabas to Derbe.

²¹ And having announced the glad tidings to that city, and having made many disciples, they returned to Lystra, and Iconium, and Antioch,

²² establishing the souls of the disciples, exhorting them to abide in the faith, and that through many tribulations we must enter into the kingdom of God.

²³ And having chosen them elders in each assembly, having prayed with fastings, they committed them to the Lord, on whom they had believed.

²⁴ And having passed through Pisidia they came to Pamphylia,

²⁵ and having spoken the word in Perga, they came down to Attalia;

²⁶ and thence they sailed away to Antioch, whence they had been committed to the grace of God for the work which they had fulfilled.

¹⁶ Nevertheless he left not himself without testimony, doing good from heaven, giving rains and fruitful seasons, filling our hearts with food and gladness.

¹⁷ And speaking these things, they scarce restrained the people from sacrificing to them.

¹⁸ Now there came thither certain Jews from Antioch, and Iconium: and persuading the multitude, and stoning Paul, drew him out of the city, thinking him to be dead.

¹⁹ But as the disciples stood round about him, he rose up and entered into the city, and the next day he departed with Barnabas to Derbe.

²⁰ And when they had preached the gospel to that city, and had taught many, they returned again to Lystra, and to Iconium, and to Antioch:

²¹ Confirming the souls of the disciples, and exhorting them to continue in the faith: and that through many tribulations we must enter into the kingdom of God.

²² And when they had ordained to them priests in every church, and had prayed with fasting, they commended them to the Lord, in whom they believed.

²³ And passing through Pisidia, they came into Pamphylia.

²⁴ And having spoken the word of the Lord in Perge, they went down into Attalia:

²⁵ And thence they sailed to Antioch, from whence they had been delivered to the grace of God, unto the work which they accomplished.

²⁶ And when they were come, and had assembled the church, they related what great things God had done with them, and how he had opened the door of faith to the Gentiles.

¹⁶ who in the generations gone by permitted all the Gentiles to walk in their ways.

¹⁷ And yet He did not leave Himself without witness, in that He did good, giving to you rain from heaven and fruit-bearing seasons, filling our hearts with food and gladness.”

¹⁸ And saying these things, they scarcely stopped the crowds from sacrificing to them.

¹⁹ But there arrived from Antioch and Iconium certain Jews, and having persuaded the crowds and having stoned Paul, they dragged him outside the city, thinking he was dead.

²⁰ But when the disciples encircled him, he stood and entered into the city. And the next day he went out together with Barnabas to Derbe.

²¹ And having preached the gospel to that city and having made many disciples, they returned to Lystra, and Iconium, and Antioch,

²² strengthening the souls of the disciples, urging them to continue in the faith, saying, “Through many tribulations we must enter into the kingdom of God.”

²³ And having chosen elders for them in every church, and having prayed with fasting, they commended them to the Lord in whom they had believed.

²⁴ And having crossed Pisidia, they came to Pamphylia.

²⁵ And having spoken the word in Perga, they went down to Attalia.

²⁶ From there they sailed to Antioch, where they were commended to the grace of God for the work which they had fulfilled.

¹⁶ who in the former generations allowed all the ethnic nations to walk in their own ways.

¹⁷ Nevertheless He did not leave Himself without witness, doing good, giving you rain from heaven and fruitful seasons, filling our hearts with food and gladness.”

¹⁸ Even saying these things, they barely stopped the crowd from sacrificing to them.

¹⁹ Then Jews from Antioch and Iconium came, and having persuaded the crowd and having stoned Paul, they dragged him out of the city, supposing him to have died.

²⁰ But as the disciples stood around him, he got up and entered the city. The next day he departed with Barnabas to Derbe.

²¹ When they had evangelized that city and discipled a good number, they returned to Lystra and Iconium and Antioch,

²² strengthening the souls of the disciples, exhorting them to continue in the faith, and saying, “We must go through many hardships to enter the kingdom of God.”

²³ When they had appointed elders for them in every congregation, having prayed with fasting, they commended them to the Lord into whom they had believed.

²⁴ After going through Pisidia, they came to Pamphilia.

²⁵ When they had declared the Word in Perga, they went down to Attalia.

²⁶ From there they sailed to Antioch, from where they had been commended to the grace of God for the work that they had completed.

¹⁶ In past times he allowed all the nations to follow their own ways.

¹⁷ Even so he still provided evidence of himself by doing good, sending you rain from heaven and crops in their seasons, providing all the food you need, and filling you with happiness.”

¹⁸ With these words they barely managed to stop the crowds from offering sacrifices to them.

¹⁹ But then some Jews from Antioch and Iconium arrived and won over the crowds. They stoned Paul, and dragged him outside the town, thinking he was dead.

²⁰ But when the believers gathered around him, he got up, and went back into the city. The next day he and Barnabas left for Derbe.

²¹ After sharing the good news with the people in that town, and after many had become believers, they went back to Lystra, Iconium, and Antioch.

²² They encouraged the believers to remain firm and to continue to trust in Jesus. “We have to go through many trials to enter God's kingdom,” they said.

²³ After they had appointed elders for every church, and had prayed and fasted with them, Paul and Barnabas left them in the Lord's care, the one that they trusted in.

²⁴ They passed through Pisidia, and arrived in Pamphylia.

²⁵ They spoke God's word in Perga, and then went on to Attalia.

²⁶ From there they sailed back to Antioch where they had started out, having been dedicated there in God's grace to the work they had now accomplished.

¹⁶ Who in times past suffered all the Gentiles to walke in their owne waies.

¹⁷ Neuerthelesse, hee left not him selfe without witnes, in that hee did good and gaue vs raine from heauen, and fruitful seasons, filling our hearts with foode, and gladnesse.

¹⁸ And speaking these things, scarce appeased they the multitude, that they had not sacrificed vnto them.

¹⁹ Then there came certaine Iewes from Antiochia and Iconium, which when they had persuaded the people, stoned Paul, and drewe him out of the citie, supposing he had bene dead.

²⁰ Howbeit, as the disciples stoode rounde about him, hee arose vp, and came into the citie, and the next day hee departed with Barnabas to Derbe.

²¹ And after they had preached the glad tidings of the Gospel to that citie, and had taught many, they returned to Lystra, and to Iconium, and to Antiochia,

²² Confirming the disciples hearts, and exhorting them to continue in the faith, affirming that we must through many afflictions enter into the kingdome of God.

²³ And when they had ordeined them Elders by election in euery Church, and prayed, and fasted, they commended them to the Lord in whome they beleeued.

²⁴ Thus they went throughout Pisidia, and came to Pamphylia.

²⁵ And when they had preached the woorde in Perga, they came downe to Attalia,

²⁶ And thence sailed to Antiochia, from whence they had bene comended vnto the grace of God, to the woorke, which they had fulfilled.

¹⁶ who in times past suffered all nations to walk in their own ways.

¹⁷ Nevertheless he left not himself without witness, in that he did good, and gave us rain from heaven, and fruitful seasons, filling our hearts with food and gladness.

¹⁸ And with these sayings scarce restrained they the people, that they had not done sacrifice unto them.

¹⁹ And there came thither certain Jews from Antioch and Iconium, who persuaded the people, and, having stoned Paul, drew him out of the city, supposing he had been dead.

²⁰ Howbeit, as the disciples stood round about him, he rose up, and came into the city: and the next day he departed with Barnabas to Derbe.

²¹ And when they had preached the gospel to that city, and had taught many, they returned again to Lystra, and to Iconium, and Antioch,

²² confirming the souls of the disciples, and exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that we must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God.

²³ And when they had ordained them elders in every church, and had prayed with fasting, they commended them to the Lord, on whom they believed.

²⁴ And after they had passed throughout Pisidia, they came to Pamphylia.

²⁵ And when they had preached the word in Perga, they went down into Attalia:

²⁶ and thence sailed to Antioch, from whence they had been recommended to the grace of God for the work which they fulfilled.

¹⁶ who in the ages past suffered all the nations to walk in their own ways;

¹⁷ although he left not himself without witness, in that he did good, giving you rain from heaven and fruitful seasons, filling your hearts with food and gladness.

¹⁸ And with these words, they hardly restrained the multitudes from sacrificing to them.

¹⁹ But there came thither Jews from Antioch and Iconium; who, having persuaded the multitudes, and stoned Paul, dragged him out of the city, supposing him to be dead.

²⁰ But the disciples having gathered around him, he rose up, and came into the city. And the next day he departed with Barnabas to Derbe.

²¹ And when they had published the glad tidings to that city, and had made many disciples, they went back to Lystra, and to Iconium, and to Antioch;

²² confirming the souls of the disciples, exhorting them to continue in the faith, and saying that it is through many afflictions that we mast enter into the kingdom of God.

²³ And having appointed for them elders in every church, they prayed with fasting, and commended them to the Lord, in whom they believed.

²⁴ And having gone through Pisidia, they came to Pamphylia;

²⁵ and when they had spoken the word in Perga, they went down to Attalia,

²⁶ and thence set sail for Antioch, whence they had been commended to the grace of God, for the work which they had accomplished.

¹⁶ In bygone times he permitted all the nations to go their own ways.

¹⁷ Yet he has not failed to give you, in the good he does, some revelation of himself — sending you from heaven rain and fruitful seasons, and gladdening your hearts with plenty and good cheer.”

¹⁸ Even with this appeal they could hardly restrain the people from offering sacrifice to them.

¹⁹ Presently, however, there came some Jews from Antioch, and Iconium who, after they had won over the people, stoned Paul, and dragged him out of the town, thinking him to be dead.

²⁰ But, when the disciples had gathered around him, he got up and went back into the town; the next day he went with Barnabas to Derbe.

²¹ After telling the good news throughout that town, and making a number of converts, they returned to Lystra, Iconium, and Antioch,

²² reassuring the minds of the disciples, urging them to remain true to the faith, and showing that it is only through many troubles that we can enter the kingdom of God.

²³ They also appointed elders for them in every church, and, after prayer and fasting, commended them to the Lord in whom they had learnt to believe.

²⁴ Paul and Barnabas then went through Pisidia, and came into Pamphylia,

²⁵ and, after telling the message at Perga, went down to Attaleia.

²⁶ From there they sailed to Antioch — the place where they had been committed to the gracious care of God for the work which they had now finished.

¹⁶ In bygone times he permitted all the nations to go their own ways.

¹⁷ Yet he has not failed to give you, in the good he does, some revelation of himself — sending you from heaven rain and fruitful seasons, and gladdening your hearts with plenty and good cheer.”

¹⁸ Even with this appeal they could hardly restrain the people from offering sacrifice to them.

¹⁹ Presently, however, there came some Jews from Antioch, and Iconium who, after they had won over the people, stoned Paul, and dragged him out of the town, thinking him to be dead.

²⁰ But, when the disciples had gathered around him, he got up and went back into the town; the next day he went with Barnabas to Derbe.

²¹ After telling the good news throughout that town, and making a number of converts, they returned to Lystra, Iconium, and Antioch,

²² reassuring the minds of the disciples, urging them to remain true to the faith, and showing that it is only through many troubles that we can enter the kingdom of God.

²³ They also appointed elders for them in every church, and, after prayer and fasting, commended them to the Lord in whom they had learned to believe.

²⁴ Paul and Barnabas then went through Pisidia, and came into Pamphylia,

²⁵ and, after telling the message at Perga, went down to Attaleia.

²⁶ From there they sailed to Antioch — the place where they had been committed to the gracious care of God for the work which they had now finished.

¹⁶ And he let the people in every country go their own way, up till now,

¹⁷ but he still shows them that he is the only real God. He always did good things for them, and he does good things for you too. He gives you rain and makes your food grow so that you can be happy.”

¹⁸ Paul and Barnabas kept talking to the people like that. The people still wanted to kill the bulls for them, but at last they listened to Paul and Barnabas and they didn’t kill those bulls.

¹⁹ After that, some Jews came to that place from the towns called Antioch and Iconium, and they talked to the Lystra people and made them angry with Paul. Then those people threw big stones at Paul until they thought he was dead, then they dragged him outside the town and left him there.

²⁰ But some Christians came and stood around Paul, and he got up and went back into the town. The next day Paul and Barnabas left that place and went to the town called Derbe.

²¹ Paul and Barnabas told the people there the good news about Jesus, and a lot of people believed in him. After that Paul and Barnabas went back to Lystra, and to Iconium, and to Antioch in Pisidia country.

²² In each of those towns they talked to the Christians and said, “Keep on believing in Jesus and don’t turn back from him. Some people will keep making big trouble for all of us Christians, but don’t worry, Jesus is with us. We are in God’s family now.”

²³ Then Paul and Barnabas picked leaders for the Christians in each church. After that they stopped eating for a while and prayed for those leaders. They prayed, “Jesus, our leader, these men believe in you now, so we ask you to look after them all the time.”

²⁴ Then Paul and Barnabas left that place and went through that Pisidia country and they came to the country called Pamphylia.

²⁵ In a town called Perga they talked to the people about Jesus, then they went to the town called Attalia near the sea.

²⁶ They got on a ship at Attalia and went back to Antioch, in Syria country. Some time before that, the Christians at Antioch asked God to look after those 2 men and be good to them, and after that they sent them out to tell people about Jesus. So, after Paul and Barnabas finished that work, they went back to the Christians at Antioch.

¹⁶ the which in tymes past suffred all nacions to walke in their awne wayes.

¹⁷ Neverthelesse he lefte not him selfe with outen witnes in that he shewed his benefites in gevinge vs rayne from heaven and frutefull ceasons fyllinge oure hertes with fode and gladnes.

¹⁸ And with these sayinges scase refrayned they the people that they had not done sacrifice vnto them.

¹⁹ Thither came certayne Iewes from Antioche and Iconium and optayned the peoples consent and stoned Paul and drewe him oute of the cyte supposynge he had bene deed.

²⁰ How be it as the disciples stode rounde about him he arose vp and cam into the cyte. And the nexte daye he departed with Barnabas to Derba.

²² and strengthed the disciples soules exhortinge them to continue in the faith affyrminge that we must thorowe moche tribulacion entre into the kyngdome of God.

²³ And when they had ordened them elders by eleccion in every congregacion after they had yrayde and fasted they comended them to God on whom they beleved.

²⁴ And they went thorow out Pisidia and came into Paphilia

²⁵ and when they had preached the worde of God in Perga they descended in to Attalia

²⁶ and thence departed by shippe to Antioche from whence they were delivered vnto the grace of God to the worke which they had fulfilled.

¹⁶ In the past ages, he allowed all the nations to walk in their own ways.

¹⁷ But still, he did not leave himself without witness, in that he did good and gave you the rains from heaven and fruitful seasons, filling your hearts with food and gladness.”

¹⁸ Even with these words, Paul and Barnabas barely kept the multitudes from sacrificing to them.

¹⁹ But some Jews from Antioch and Iconium came and persuaded the crowds. They stoned Paul and dragged him out of the city, thinking that he was dead.

²⁰ Yet as the disciples were standing around him, he got up and entered the city. The next day, he went to Derbe with Barnabas.

²¹ After they had proclaimed the gospel in that city and made many disciples, they returned to Lystra, to Iconium, and to Antioch.

²² They kept strengthening the souls of the disciples and encouraging them to continue in the faith, saying, “We must enter into the kingdom of God through many sufferings.”

²³ When they had appointed for them elders in every church, and had prayed with fasting, they entrusted them to the Lord, in whom they had believed.
