Reading I
Acts 14:19-28
But as the disciples stood round about him, he rose up and entered into the city: and the next day he departed with Barnabas to Derbe.
And when they had preached the gospel to that city and had taught many, they returned again to Lystra and to Iconium and to Antioch:
Confirming the souls of the disciples and exhorting them to continue in the faith: and that through many tribulations we must enter into the kingdom of God.
And when they had ordained to them priests in every church and had prayed with fasting, they commended them to the Lord, in whom they believed.
And passing through Pisidia, they came into Pamphylia.
And having spoken the word of the Lord in Perge, they went down into Attalia.
And thence they sailed to Antioch, from whence they had been delivered to the grace of God, unto the work which they accomplished.
And when they were come and had assembled the church, they related what great things God had done with them and how he had opened the door of faith to the Gentiles.
And they abode no small time with the disciples.
