* And they wrote (5660 ) letters by them after this manner ; The apostles and elders and brethren send greeting (5721 ) unto the brethren which are of the Gentiles in Antioch and Syria and Cilicia : * Forasmuch as we have heard (5656 ), that certain which went out (5631 ) from us have troubled (5656 ) you with words , subverting (5723 ) your souls , saying (5723 ), Ye must be circumcised (5745 ), and keep (5721 ) the law : to whom we gave no such commandment (5668 ): * It seemed good (5656 ) unto us , being assembled (5637 ) with one accord , to send (5658 ) chosen (5671 ) men unto you with our beloved Barnabas and Paul , * Men that have hazarded (5761 ) their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ . * We have sent (5758 ) therefore Judas and Silas , who shall also tell (5723 ) you the same things by mouth . * For it seemed good (5656 ) to the Holy Ghost , and to us , to lay upon (5733 ) you no greater burden than these necessary things ; * That ye abstain (5733 ) from meats offered to idols , and from blood , and from things strangled , and from fornication : from which if ye keep (5723 ) yourselves , ye shall do (5692 ) well . Fare ye well (5770 ). * So when they were dismissed (5685 ), they came (5627 ) to Antioch : and when they had gathered the multitude together (5631 ), they delivered (5656 ) the epistle : * Which when they had read (5631 ), they rejoiced (5644 ) for the consolation . * And Judas and Silas , being (5752 ) prophets also themselves , exhorted (5656 ) the brethren with many words , and confirmed (5656 ) them . * And after they had tarried (5660 ) there a space , they were let go (5681 ) in peace from the brethren unto the apostles . * Notwithstanding it pleased (5656 ) Silas to abide there still (5658 ). * Paul also and Barnabas continued (5707 ) in Antioch , teaching (5723 ) and preaching (5734 ) the word of the Lord , with many others also . * And some days after Paul said (5627 ) unto Barnabas , Let us go again (5660 ) and visit (5667 ) our brethren in every city where we have preached (5656 ) the word of the Lord , and see how they do (5719 ). * And Barnabas determined (5662 ) to take with them (5629 ) John , whose surname was (5746 ) Mark . * But Paul thought not good (5707 ) to take him with them (5629 ), who departed (5631 ) from them from Pamphylia , and went (5631 ) not with them to the work . * And the contention was (5633 ) so sharp between them , that they departed asunder (5683 ) one from the other : and so Barnabas took (5631 ) Mark , and sailed (5658 ) unto Cyprus ; * And Paul chose (5671 ) Silas , and departed (5627 ), being recommended (5685 ) by the brethren unto the grace of God . * And he went through (5711 ) Syria and Cilicia , confirming (5723 ) the churches .
