Dette brevet tok de med seg til Antiokia. Da de hadde samlet alle, overleverte de brevet, og da de hadde lest det, gledet tilhørerne seg over den oppmuntrende beskjeden som sto der. Judas og Silas, som også selv var profeter, forklarte dem hva som var rett og viktig, og de troende ble oppmuntret og fikk ny styrke av det de fikk høre fra dem. Etter at de hadde vært der en stund, dro de tilbake til apostlene, og de fikk med seg hilsener på veien. Men Silas fant det rett å bli igjen i Antiokia sammen med Paulus og Barnabas. Der underviste de og forkynte Herrens Ord sammen med mange andre.
