Context of Acts 14:26

24Then they passed through Pisidia and came to Pamphyllia. 25After speaking the message in Perga, they went down to Attalia. From there they sailed back to Antioch (where they had been entrusted to the gracious care of God for the work now completed). 27When they arrived and gathered together Messiah’s community, they began to report all that God had done in helping them and that He had opened a door of faith to the Gentiles. 28And they stayed quite awhile with the disciples.
