Acts 14:22-1964 in the Bible in Basic English reads: “Making strong the souls of the disciples, saying to them that they were to keep the faith, and that we have to go through troubles of all sorts to come into the kingdom of God. And when they had made selection of some to be rulers in every church, and had given themselves to prayer and kept themselves from food, they put them into the care of the Lord in whom they had faith. And they went through Pisidia and came to Pamphylia. And, after preaching the word in Perga, they went down to Attalia; And from there they went by ship to Antioch, where they had been handed over to the grace of God for the work which they had not done. And when they came there, and had got the church together, they gave them an account of all the things which God had done through them, and how he had made open a door of faith to the Gentiles. And they were with the disciples there for a long time.”
