21. We must remember that the Law of Moses has been preached in city after city for many years, and every Sabbath it is read when we Jews meet.
22. The apostles, the leaders, and all the church members decided to send some men to Antioch along with Paul and Barnabas. They chose Silas and Judas Barsabbas, who were two leaders of the Lord's followers.
23. They wrote a letter that said:We apostles and leaders send friendly greetings to all you Gentiles who are followers of the Lord in Antioch, Syria, and Cilicia.
24. We have heard that some people from here have terribly upset you by what they said. But we did not send them!
25. So we met together and decided to choose some men and to send them to you along with our good friends Barnabas and Paul.
26. These men have risked their lives for our Lord Jesus Christ.
