We have sent therefore Judas and Silas, who themselves also shall tell you the same things by word of mouth.
And Judas and Silas, being themselves also prophets, exhorted the brethren with many words, and confirmed them.
but Paul choose Silas, and went forth, being commended by the brethren to the grace of the Lord.
