23 and wrote by the hands of them, Apostles and elder brethren to them that be at Antioch, and Syria, and Cilicia, brethren of heathen men (or to the Gentile brothers), greeting(s).
24 For we heard that some went out from us, and troubled you with words, and turned upside-down your souls, to which men we commanded not,
25 it pleased to us gathered into one, to choose men, and send (them) to you, with our most dearworthy Barnabas and Paul,
26 men that gave their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
27 Therefore we sent Judas and Silas, and they shall tell the same things to you by words.
28 For it is seen to the Holy Ghost, and to us, to put to you nothing more of charge, than these needful things, (For it is seen by the Holy Spirit, and by us, to put no other burden upon you, other than these necessary things,)
29 that ye abstain you from the offered things of maumets or of simulacra, and blood strangled, and fornication, (or that ye abstain yourselves from the food offered to idols, and from blood, and from strangled things, and from fornication). From which ye keeping you(rselves), shall do well. Fare ye well.
30 Therefore they were let go or dismissed, and came down to Antioch; and when the multitude was gathered, they (be)took the epistle (or they delivered the letter);

33 But after that they had been there a little while, they were let go of (the) brethren with peace, (or they were sent forth by the brothers with peace), or they were dismissed with peace of (or from) (the) brethren, (back) to them that had sent them.
34 But it was seen to Silas, to dwell there; and Judas went alone to Jerusalem.
35 And Paul and Barnabas dwelt at Antioch, teaching and preaching the word of the Lord, with others many or with many others.
36 But after some days, Paul said to Barnabas, Turn we again, and visit we our brethren by all (the) cities, in which we have preached the word of the Lord, how they have them. (But after some days, Paul said to Barnabas, Let us return, and visit our brothers in all the cities, in which we have preached the word of the Lord, to learn how they be doing.)
37 And Barnabas would take with him John, that was named Mark (or who was called Mark).
