Acts 15:30-41

30SoG3767 when they were sentG630 awayG630, 1they wentG2718 downG2718 to AntiochG490; and after gatheringG4863 the 2congregationG4128 togetherG4863, they deliveredG1929 the letterG1992. 31When they had readG314 it, they rejoicedG5463 becauseG1909 of its 3encouragementG3874. 324JudasG2455 and 5SilasG4609, alsoG2532 beingG1510 6prophetsG4396 themselvesG846, 7encouragedG3870 and strengthenedG1991 8the brothersG80 and sisters with a lengthyG4183 messageG3056. 33After they had spentG4160 timeG5550 there, they were sentG630 awayG630 from the brothersG80 and sisters 9in peaceG1515 to thoseG3588 who had 10sentG649 them outG649.11 35But 12PaulG3972 and BarnabasG921 stayedG1304 in AntiochG490, teachingG1321 and 13preachingG2097 14the wordG3056 of the LordG2962, with manyG4183 othersG2087 alsoG2532.

36AfterG3326 someG5100 daysG2250 PaulG3972 saidG3004 to BarnabasG921, “Let’s returnG1994 and visitG1980 the brothersG80 and sisters in 15everyG3956 cityG4172 in whichG3739 we proclaimedG2605 16the wordG3056 of the LordG2962, and see howG4459 they are.” 37BarnabasG921 wantedG1014 to takeG4838 17JohnG2491, calledG2564 MarkG3138, alongG4838 with them alsoG2532. 38But PaulG3972 wasG515 ofG515 theG515 opinionG515 that they should not takeG4838 alongG4838 with them thisG3778 manG3778 who had 18desertedG868 them 19in PamphyliaG3828 and had not goneG4905 with them to the workG2041. 39Now it turnedG1096 into suchG5620 a sharpG3948 disagreementG3948 thatG5620 they separatedG673 from oneG240 anotherG240, and BarnabasG921 tookG3880 20MarkG3138 with him and sailedG1602 awayG1602 to 21CyprusG2954. 40But PaulG3972 choseG1951 22SilasG4609, and leftG1831 after being 23entrustedG3860 by the brothersG80 to the graceG5485 of the LordG2962. 41And he was travelingG1330 throughG1330 24SyriaG4947 and 25CiliciaG2791, strengtheningG1991 the churchesG1577.
