15. and saying, “Men, why are you doing this? We also are men with the same nature as you, bringing to you the Good News: to turn from these worthless matters to the living Elohim, who made the heaven, and the earth, and the sea, and all that is in them,
16. who in past generations allowed all the nations to walk in their own ways,
17. though, indeed, He did not leave Himself without witness, doing good – giving us rain from heaven and fruit-bearing seasons, filling our hearts with food and gladness.”
18. Even with these words they still had difficulty in stopping the crowds from offering to them.
19. But Yehuḏim arrived from Antioch and Ikonion, and having won over the crowds, they stoned Sha’ul, dragged him out of the city, thinking he was dead.
20. But while the taught ones gathered around him, he rose up and went into the city. And on the next day he went away with Barnaḇah to Derbe.
21. And having brought the Good News to that city, and having made many taught ones, they returned to Lustra, and Ikonion, and Antioch,
22. strengthening the beings of the taught ones, encouraging them to continue in the belief, and that through many pressures we have to enter the reign of Elohim.
23. And having appointed elders in every assembly, having prayed with fasting, they committed them to the Master in whom they had believed.
24. And having passed through Pisidia, they came to Pamphulia.
25. And having spoken the word in Perge, they went down to Attaleia,
26. and from there they sailed to Antioch, where they had been committed to the favour of Elohim for the work which they had completed.
27. And having arrived, and having gathered together the assembly, they related all that Elohim had done with them, and that He had opened the door of belief to the gentiles.
28. And they remained there a long time with the taught ones.
