19. But Jews arrived from Antioch and Iconium, and when they had won over the crowds and stoned Paul, they dragged him outside the city, thinking he was dead.

20. But after the disciples surrounded him, he got up and went into the city. And on the next day he departed with Barnabas for Derbe.

21. And after they had proclaimed the good news in that city and made many disciples, they returned to Lystra and to Iconium and to Antioch,

22. strengthening the souls of the disciples, encouraging them to continue in the faith and saying, “Through many persecutions it is necessary for us to enter into the kingdom of God.”

23. And when they had appointed elders for them in every church, after praying with fasting, they entrusted them to the Lord, in whom they had believed.

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

25. And after they proclaimed the message in Perga, they went down to Attalia,

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

28. And they stayed no little time with the disciples.
