015:032 And Judas and Silas, being themselves also Prophets, gave them a long and encouraging talk, and strengthened them in the faith.
015:033 After spending some time there they received an affectionate farewell from the brethren to return to those who had sent them.

the brethren in the various towns in which we have made known
the Lord's Message—to see whether they are prospering!"
