   Gentiles in Antioch and Syria and Cilicia:   
      
   24 Forasmuch as we have heard, that certain which went out from us have   
   troubled you with words, subverting your souls, saying, Ye must be   
   circumcised, and keep the law: to whom we gave no such commandment:   
      
   25 It seemed good unto us, being assembled with one accord, to send   
   chosen men unto you with our beloved Barnabas and Paul,   
      
   26 Men that have hazarded their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.   
      
   27 We have sent therefore Judas and Silas, who shall also tell you the   
   same things by mouth.   
      
   28 For it seemed good to the Holy Ghost, and to us, to lay upon you no   
   greater burden than these necessary things;   
      
   29 That ye abstain from meats offered to idols, and from blood, and from   
   things strangled, and from fornication: from which if ye keep   
   yourselves, ye shall do well. Fare ye well.   
      
   30 So when they were dismissed, they came to Antioch: and when they had   
   gathered the multitude together, they delivered the epistle:   
      
   31 Which when they had read, they rejoiced for the consolation.   
      
   32 And Judas and Silas, being prophets also themselves, exhorted the   
   brethren with many words, and confirmed them.   
      
   33 And after they had tarried there a space, they were let go in peace   
   from the brethren unto the apostles.   
      
   34 Notwithstanding it pleased Silas to abide there still.   
      
   35 Paul also and Barnabas continued in Antioch, teaching and preaching   
   the word of the Lord, with many others also.   
      
   36 And some days after Paul said unto Barnabas, Let us go again and   
   visit our brethren in every city where we have preached the word of the   
   Lord, and see how they do.   
      
   37 And Barnabas determined to take with them John, whose surname was Mark.   
      
   38 But Paul thought not good to take him with them, who departed from   
   them from Pamphylia, and went not with them to the work.   
      
   39 And the contention was so sharp between them, that they departed   
   asunder one from the other: and so Barnabas took Mark, and sailed unto   
   Cyprus;   
      
   40 And Paul chose Silas, and departed, being recommended by the brethren   
   unto the grace of God.   
      
   41 And he went through Syria and Cilicia, confirming the churches.
