Acts 14:20-22

New Catholic Bible

²⁰ But when the disciples gathered around him, he got up and entered the city. On the next day, he and Barnabas departed for Derbe.

²¹ After they had proclaimed the good news in that city and gained a considerable number of disciples, they returned to Lystra and then moved on to Iconium and Antioch. ²² They strengthened the disciples and encouraged them to persevere in the faith, saying, “It is necessary for us to undergo many hardships in order to enter the kingdom of God.”
