went back into the city. The next day he and Barnabas left for
Derbe. They preached the gospel in that city and won a large
number of disciples. Then they returned to Lystra, Iconium and
Antioch, strengthening the disciples and encouraging them to
remain true to the faith.
Acts 14:20-22

their journey had begun. Once they arrived, they gathered the
church together and reported about their trip, sharing what God
had done and how He opened the door for the gospel to the
Gentiles, too. They stayed with the believers a long time. The first
missionary journey of Paul and Barnabas was about two years
long, in AD46–48 covering about 1,150 miles.
