My friends, listen to me!
14Simon Peter has told how God first came to the Gentiles and made some of them his own people.
15This agrees with what the prophets wrote,
16
21We must remember that the Law of Moses has been preached in city after city for many years, and every Sabbath it is read in our synagogues.
A Letter to Gentiles Who Had Faith in the Lord22The apostles, the leaders, and all the church members decided to send some men to Antioch along with Paul and Barnabas. They chose Silas and Judas Barsabbas, who were two leaders of the Lord's followers.
23They wrote a letter that said:
We apostles and leaders send friendly greetings to all of you Gentiles who are followers of the Lord in Antioch, Syria, and Cilicia.
24We have heard that some people from here have terribly upset you by what they said. But we did not send them!
25So we met together and decided to choose some men and to send them to you along with our good friends Barnabas and Paul.
26These men have risked their lives for our Lord Jesus Christ.
27We are also sending Judas and Silas, who will tell you in person the same things that we are writing.
28The Holy Spirit has shown us that we should not place any extra burden on you.
29Paul and Barnabas Go Their Separate Ways
36Sometime later Paul said to Barnabas, “Let's go back and visit the Lord's followers in the cities where we preached his message. Then we will know how they are doing.”
37Barnabas wanted to take along John, whose other name was Mark.
38Ac 13.13. But Paul did not want to, because Mark had left them in Pamphylia and had stopped working with them.
39Paul and Barnabas argued, then each of them went his own way. Barnabas took Mark and sailed to Cyprus,
40but Paul took Silas and left after the followers had placed them in God's care.
41They traveled through Syria and Cilicia, encouraging the churches.
