On the next day, he and Barnabas departed for Derbe.

- Acts 14:19 The Gospel of Jesus has been planted in Asia Minor as a force of life. On the return of Paul and Barnabas to Antioch, the first movement of the community is to gather to hear what God has helped them to accomplish, and to give thanks, as was done on Peter’s return to Jerusalem (Acts 11:18). The Christian community in Antioch lives the good news of Jesus.
