19
But Jews came from Antioch and Iconium, and having won over
the crowds, they stoned Paul and dragged him out of the city,
supposing him to be dead. 20 But while the disciples stood around
him, he got up and entered the city. The next day he went away
with Barnabas to Derbe. 21 After they had preached the gospel to
that city and had 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 tribulations we must enter the kingdom of God.”
23
When they had appointed elders for them in every church,
having prayed with fasting, they commended them to the Lord in
whom they had believed.
24
They passed through Pisidia and came into Pamphylia. 25 When
they had spoken the word in Perga, they went down to Attalia.
26
From there they sailed to Antioch, from which they had been
commended to the grace of God for the work that they had
accomplished. 27 When they had arrived and gathered the church
together, they began to report all things that God had done with
them and how He had opened a door of faith to the Gentiles.
28
And they spent a long time with the disciples.

find strength in Christ. As Gus Miller guides you into study of this letter, you'll also find the support you need
