# Connecting Statement:

Paul, Barnabas, Judas, and Silas leave for Antioch.

# So they, when they were dismissed, came down to Antioch

The word "they" refers to Paul, Barnabas, Judas, and Silas. AT: "So when the four men were dismissed, they came down to Antioch"

# when they were dismissed

This can be stated in active form. AT: "when the apostles and elders dismissed the four men" or "when the believers in Jerusalem sent them" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive]])

# came down to Antioch

The phrase "came down" is used here because Antioch is lower in elevation than Jerusalem.

# they rejoiced

"the believers in Antioch rejoiced"

# because of the encouragement

The abstract noun "encouragement" can be expressed with the verb "encourage." AT: "because what the apostles and elders wrote encouraged them" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-abstractnouns]])

# also prophets

Prophets were teachers authorized by God to speak for him. AT: "because they were prophets" or "who were also prophets"

# the brothers

"the fellow believers"

# strengthened them

Helping someone to depend even more on Jesus is spoken of as if they were making them physically stronger. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])
