We are told that when Paul and Barnabas were on their way back home from their first missionary trip, “they appointed elders for them in each congregation, offering prayer with fasting, and they entrusted them to Jehovah, in whom they had become believers. ”
Kita diberi tahu bahwa sewaktu Paulus dan Barnabas sedang dalam perjalanan pulang dari kegiatan utusan injil mereka yang pertama, ” mereka menetapkan para tua - tua di setiap sidang jemaat dan, sambil memanjatkan doa dengan berpuasa, mereka menyerahkan para tua - tua itu kepada Yehuwa yang mereka percayai ”.
