1 you know that in the early days God made a choice among you, that I should be the one through whom the gentiles would hear the message of the good news and become believers.
8 listen to me.
14Simeon has related how God first looked favorably on the gentiles, to take from among them a people for his name.
15This agrees with the words of the prophets, as it is written,
16
19“Therefore I have reached the decision that we should not trouble those gentiles who are turning to God,
20 and from blood.
21
25we have decided unanimously to choose men and send them to you, along with our beloved Barnabas and Paul,
26 and from sexual immorality. If you keep yourselves from these, you will do well. Farewell.”
30So they were sent off and went down to Antioch. When they gathered the congregation together, they delivered the letter.
31When they read it, they rejoiced at the exhortation.
32Judas and Silas, who were themselves prophets, said much to encourage and strengthen the brothers and sisters.
33
35But Paul and Barnabas remained in Antioch, and there, with many others, they taught and proclaimed the word of the Lord.
Paul and Barnabas Separate36 Acts 13.4, 13, 14, 51; 14.1, 6, 24, 25 After some days Paul said to Barnabas, “Come, let us return and visit the brothers and sisters in every city where we proclaimed the word of the Lord and see how they are doing.”
37Acts 12.12Barnabas wanted to take with them John called Mark.
38Acts 13.13But Paul decided not to take with them one who had deserted them in Pamphylia and had not accompanied them in the work.
39The disagreement became so sharp that they parted company; Barnabas took Mark with him and sailed away to Cyprus.
40But Paul chose Silas and set out, the brothers and sisters commending him to the grace of the Lord.
41Acts 16.5He went through Syria and Cilicia, strengthening the churches.
