Reading 1, Acts 14:21-27

²¹ Having preached the good news in that town and made a considerable number of disciples, they went back through Lystra, Iconium and Antioch.

²² They put fresh heart into the disciples, encouraging them to persevere in the faith, saying, 'We must all experience many hardships before we enter the kingdom of God.'

²³ In each of these churches they appointed elders, and with prayer and fasting they commended them to the Lord in whom they had come to believe.

²⁴ They passed through Pisidia and reached Pamphylia.

²⁵ Then after proclaiming the word at Perga they went down to Attalia

²⁶ and from there sailed for Antioch, where they had originally been commended to the grace of God for the work they had now completed.

²⁷ On their arrival they assembled the church and gave an account of all that God had done with them, and how he had opened the door of faith to the gentiles.
