Therefore, when Paul and Barnabas had no small dissension and dispute with them, they appointed Paul and Barnabas and certain others of them to go up to Jerusalem, to the apostles and elders, concerning this question.

it seemed good to us, having become of one mind, to send chosen men to you with our beloved Barnabas and Paul,

men who have given their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Paul and Barnabas also remained in Antioch, teaching and preaching the Word of the Lord, with many others also.

Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were uneducated and untrained men, they marveled. And they understood that they were with Jesus.

And now, Lord, look on their threats, and grant to Your servants to speak Your Word with all boldness,

and for me, that utterance may be given to me, that I may open my mouth boldly to make known the mystery of the gospel,

for which I am an ambassador in chains; that in it I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.
