Silas

Then the emissaries and the elders, together with the whole Messianic community, decided to select men from among themselves to send to Antioch with Sha’ul and Bar-Nabba. They sent Y’hudah, called Bar-Sabba, and Sila, both leading men among the brothers,

So we have sent Y’hudah and Sila, and they will confirm in person what we are writing.

Y’hudah and Sila, who were also prophets, said much to encourage and strengthen the brothers.

Notwithstanding it pleased Silas to abide there still.

However, Sha’ul chose Sila and left, after the brothers had committed him to the love and kindness of the Lord.

But when her owners saw that what had come out was any further prospect of profit for them, they seized Sha’ul and Sila and dragged them to the market square to face the authorities.

Around midnight, Sha’ul and Sila were praying and singing hymns to God, while the other prisoners listened attentively.

Calling for lights, the jailer ran in, began to tremble and fell down in front of Sha’ul and Sila.

Some of the Jews were persuaded and threw in their lot with Sha’ul and Sila, as did a great many of the Greek men who were “God-fearers,” and not a few of the leading women.

But as soon as night fell, the brothers sent Sha’ul and Sila off to Berea. As soon as they arrived, they went to the synagogue.

The brothers sent Sha’ul away at once to go down to the seacoast, while Sila and Timothy stayed behind.

Sha’ul’s escort went with him as far as Athens, then left with instructions for Sila and Timothy to come as quickly as they could.

But after Sila and Timothy arrived from Macedonia, Sha’ul felt pressed by the urgency of the message and testified in depth to the Jews that Yeshua is the Messiah.

For the Son of God, the Messiah Yeshua, who was proclaimed among you through us — that is, through me and Sila and Timothy — was not a yes-and-no man; on the contrary, with him it is always “Yes!”

From: Sha’ul, Sila and Timothy To: The Messianic Community of the Thessalonians, united with God the Father and the Lord Yeshua the Messiah: Grace to you and shalom.

From: Sha’ul, Sila and Timothy To: The Messianic Community of the Thessalonians, united with God our Father and the Lord Yeshua the Messiah:

Through Sila, whom I regard as a faithful brother, I have written you briefly, encouraging you and giving my witness that this is God’s true grace. Stand firm in it!
