The church sent them on their way, and as they traveled through Phoenicia and Samaria, they told how the Gentiles had turned to God. This news made all the believers very glad.
When they arrived in Antioch, they gathered the church together and told everything that God had done through them. They shared how he had opened a way for the Gentiles to believe.
But when it was time to leave, we continued on our way. All the believers, including their whole families, went with us out of the city. There on the beach we all got down on our knees to pray.

When Paul and Barnabas arrived in Jerusalem, the church and the apostles and elders welcomed them. Then they reported everything God had done through them.
Then the apostles, elders, and the whole church decided to choose some of their own men and send them to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas. They chose Judas Barsabbas and Silas, who were leaders among the believers.
The believers who went with Paul took him to Athens. Then they returned with the message that Silas and Timothy should join him there as soon as possible.
