Context of Acts 14:26

24Then they passed through Pisidia and came into Pamphylia, 25and when they had spoken the word in Perga, they went down to Attalia. From there they sailed back to Antioch, where they had been commended to the grace of God for the work they had now completed. 27When they arrived and gathered the church together, they reported all the things God had done with them, and that he had opened a door of faith for the Gentiles. 28So they spent considerable time with the disciples.
