32And Judas and Silas, being prophets also themselves, exhorted the brethren with many words, and confirmed them. 33And after they had tarried there a space, they were let go in peace from the brethren unto the apostles. 34Notwithstanding it pleased Silas to abide there still. (Acts 15:32‑34)
40And Paul chose Silas, and departed, being recommended by the brethren unto the grace of God. (Acts 15:40)
