Acts 14:24

Acts 14:24

22 strengthening the souls of the disciples, ^aexhorting them to continue in the faith, and saying, ^b“We must through many tribulations enter the kingdom of God.”

23 So when they had ^aappointed elders in every church, and prayed with fasting, they commended them to the Lord in whom they had believed.

24 And after they had passed through Pisidia, they came to Pamphylia.

25 Now when they had preached the word in Perga, they went down to Attalia.

26 From there they sailed to Antioch, where they had been commended to the grace of God for the work which they had completed.

27 Now when they had come and gathered the church together, ^athey reported all that God had done with them, and that He had ^bopened the door of faith to the Gentiles.

When they had spoken the word in Perga (lalhsantev en Pergh ton logon). Now they stopped and preached in Perga which they had apparently not done before (see Acts 13:13 f.). After leaving Antioch they passed on through Pisidia, as if Antioch was not strictly in Pisidia (see on Acts 13:14) and into Pamphylia. They crossed from Perga to Attaleia, the port of Perga, sixteen miles down the Cestus, and capital of Pamphylia, to find a ship for Antioch in Syria. It is now called Adala and for long was the chief harbour of the south coast of Asia Minor. We do not know why they did not revisit Cyprus, perhaps because no permanent Gentile churches were founded there.
