King James Bible
"And there they abode long time with the disciples."
Paul and Barnabas remained in Antioch for an extended period after their first missionary journey. This pause allowed them to recover from persecution and hardship while strengthening the sending church that had commissioned them. They stayed specifically with the community of believers, emphasizing the importance of fellowship and mutual encouragement. This time of stability contrasted with their travels and provided opportunity to disciple and teach the Antioch church.
