Philip found himself in Azotus; he went on to Caesarea, and on the way he preached the Good News in every town.

There was a man in Caesarea named Cornelius, who was a captain in the Roman army regiment called "The Italian Regiment."

The following day he arrived in Caesarea, where Cornelius was waiting for him, together with relatives and close friends that he had invited.

At that very moment three men who had been sent to me from Caesarea arrived at the house where I was staying.

When he arrived at Caesarea, he went to Jerusalem and greeted the church, and then went to Antioch.

Then the commander called two of his officers and said, "Get two hundred soldiers ready to go to Caesarea, together with seventy horsemen and two hundred spearmen, and be ready to leave by nine o'clock tonight.

Three days after Festus arrived in the province, he went from Caesarea to Jerusalem,

But Festus wanted to gain favor with the Jews, so he asked Paul, "Would you be willing to go to Jerusalem and be tried on these charges before me there?"

Instead, he told them as he left, "If it is the will of God, I will come back to you." And so he sailed from Ephesus.

The news about this reached the church in Jerusalem, so they sent Barnabas to Antioch.

When they arrived in Jerusalem, they were welcomed by the church, the apostles, and the elders, to whom they told all that God had done through them.

When we arrived in Jerusalem, the believers welcomed us warmly.

Paul greeted them and gave a complete report of everything that God had done among the Gentiles through his work.

Some of the believers who were scattered by the persecution which took place when Stephen was killed went as far as Phoenicia, Cyprus, and Antioch, telling the message to Jews only.

The Lord's power was with them, and a great number of people believed and turned to the Lord.

When he arrived and saw how God had blessed the people, he was glad and urged them all to be faithful and true to the Lord with all their hearts.

Then Barnabas went to Tarsus to look for Saul.

About that time some prophets went from Jerusalem to Antioch.

In the church at Antioch there were some prophets and teachers: Barnabas, Simeon (called the Black), Lucius (from Cyrene), Manaen (who had been brought up with Governor Herod ), and Saul.

and from there they sailed back to Antioch, the place where they had been commended to the care of God's grace for the work they had now completed.

and they sent the following letter by them:

The messengers were sent off and went to Antioch, where they gathered the whole group of believers and gave them the letter.

Paul and Barnabas spent some time in Antioch, and together with many others they taught and preached the word of the Lord.
