22ThenG5119 pleased itG1380 the apostlesG3588G652 andG2532 eldersG4245, withG4862 the wholeG3650 AssemblyG3588G1577, to sendG3992 chosenG1586 menG435 ofG1537 their own companyG846 toG1519 AntiochG490 withG4862 PaulG3588G3972 andG2532 BarnabasG921; namely, JudasG2455 surnamedG1941 BarsabasG923, andG2532 SilasG4609, chiefG2233 menG435 amongG1722 the brethrenG3588G80: 23And they wroteG1125 letters byG1223 themG846 after this mannerG3592; The apostlesG3588G652 andG2532 eldersG4245 andG2532 brethrenG3588G80 send greetingG5463 unto the brethrenG80 whichG3588 are ofG1537 the GentilesG1484 inG2596 AntiochG3588G490 andG2532 SyriaG4947 andG2532 CiliciaG2791: 24Forasmuch asG1894 we have heardG191, thatG3754 certainG5100 which went outG1831 fromG1537 usG1473 have troubledG5015 youG4771 with wordsG3056, subvertingG384 yourG4771 soulsG3588G5590, sayingG3004, Ye must be circumcisedG4059, andG2532 keepG5083 the lawG3588G3551: to whomG3739 we gaveG1291 noG3756 such commandmentG1291: 25It seemed goodG1380 unto usG1473, being assembledG1096 with one accordG3661, to sendG3992 chosenG1586 menG435 untoG4314 youG4771 withG4862 ourG1473 belovedG27 BarnabasG921 andG2532 PaulG3972, 26MenG444 that have hazardedG3860 theirG846 livesG3588G5590 forG5228 the nameG3588G3686 of ourG1473 LordG3588G2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547. 27We have sentG649 thereforeG3767 JudasG2455 andG2532 SilasG4609, whoG846 shallG518 alsoG2532 tellG518 you the same thingsG846 byG1223 mouthG3056. 28ForG1063 it seemed goodG1380 to the HolyG40 GhostG4151, andG2532 to usG1473, to lay uponG2007 youG4771 noG3367 greaterG4119 burdenG922 thanG4133 theseG3778 necessaryG1876 thingsG3778; 29That ye abstainG568 from meats offered to idolsG1494, andG2532 from bloodG129, andG2532 from things strangledG4156, andG2532 from fornicationG4202: fromG1537 whichG3739 if ye keepG1301 yourselvesG1438, ye shall doG4238 wellG2095. Fare ye wellG4517. 30SoG3767 whenG3303 they were dismissedG630, they cameG2064 toG1519 AntiochG490: andG2532 when they had gatheredG4863 the multitudeG3588G4128 togetherG4863, they deliveredG1929 the epistleG3588G1992: 31Which whenG1161 they had readG314, they rejoicedG5463 forG1909 the consolationG3588G3874. 32AndG1161 JudasG2455 andG2532 SilasG4609, beingG1510 prophetsG4396 alsoG2532 themselvesG846, exhortedG3870 the brethrenG3588G80 withG1223 manyG4183 wordsG3056, andG2532 confirmedG1991 them. 33AndG1161 after they had tarriedG4160 there a spaceG5550, they were let goG630 inG3326 peaceG1515 fromG575 the brethrenG3588G80 untoG4314 the apostlesG3588G652. 34NotwithstandingG1161 it pleasedG1380 SilasG3588G4609 to abideG1961 thereG847 stillG1961. 35PaulG3972 alsoG1161 andG2532 BarnabasG921 continuedG1304 inG1722 AntiochG490, teachingG1321 andG2532 preachingG2097 the wordG3588G3056 of the LordG3588G2962, withG3326 manyG4183 othersG2087 alsoG2532.
36AndG1161 someG5100 daysG2250 afterG3326 PaulG3972 saidG3004 untoG4314 BarnabasG921, Let us go againG1994 andG1211 visitG1980 ourG1473 brethrenG3588G80 inG2596 everyG3956 cityG4172 whereG3739 we have preachedG2605 the wordG3588G3056 of the LordG3588G2962, and see howG4459 they doG2192. 37AndG1161 BarnabasG921 determinedG1011 to take with themG4838 JohnG3588G2491, whose surname wasG2564 MarkG3138. 38ButG1161 PaulG3972 thoughtG515 notG3361 goodG515 to take himG4838 with themG3778, whoG3588 departedG868 fromG575 themG846 fromG575 PamphyliaG3828, andG2532 wentG4905 notG3361 with themG846 toG1519 the workG3588G2041. 39AndG3767 the contentionG3948 wasG1096 so sharp between themG3948, thatG5620 they departed asunderG673 oneG846 fromG575 the otherG240: and soG5037 BarnabasG3588G921 tookG3880 MarkG3588G3138, and sailedG1602 untoG1519 CyprusG2954; 40AndG1161 PaulG3972 choseG1951 SilasG4609, and departedG1831, being recommendedG3860 byG5259 the brethrenG3588G80 unto the graceG3588G5485 of GodG3588G2316. 41AndG1161 he went throughG1330 SyriaG3588G4947 andG2532 CiliciaG2791, confirmingG1991 the AssembliesG3588G1577.
