Acts of the Apostles 14:21

In context

19Then Jews arrived from Antioch and Iconium; they won the crowds over, stoned Paul and dragged him outside the city, thinking he was dead. 20But when the disciples gathered around him he got up and went back into the city. The next day he left with Barnabas for Derbe. 21They announced the good news in that city and made many disciples; then they turned back to Lystra, to Iconium and to Antioch, 22strengthening the disciples and urging them to remain firm in the faith: “It is through many hardships that we must enter the kingdom of God.” 23In each church they appointed elders for them, and with prayer and fasting they entrusted them to the Lord in whom they had believed.
