Context of Acts 14:26

24After they had gone through Pisidia, they went to Pamphylia. 25They spoke the message in the city of Perga and went to the city of Attalia. From Attalia they took a boat and headed home to the city of Antioch ⌞in Syria⌟. (In Antioch they had been entrusted to God’s care for the work they had now finished.) 27When they arrived, they called the members of the church together. They reported everything God had done through them, especially that he had given people who were not Jewish the opportunity to believe. 28They stayed for a long time with these disciples.
