Acts - ch 11 v 21 - 30
- And the Lord's hand was with them, and a great number believed and turned to the Lord.
- And the report concerning them reached the ears of the assembly which was in Jerusalem, and they sent out Barnabas to go through as far as Antioch:
- who, having arrived and seeing the grace of God, rejoiced, and exhorted all with purpose of heart to abide with the Lord;
- for he was a good man and full of the Holy Spirit and of faith; and a large crowd of people were added to the Lord.
- And he went away to Tarsus to seek out Saul.
- And having found him, he brought him to Antioch. And so it was with them that for a whole year they were gathered together in the assembly and taught a large crowd: and the disciples were first called Christians in Antioch.
- Now in these days prophets went down from Jerusalem to Antioch;
- and one from among them, by name Agabus, rose up and signified by the Spirit that there was going to be a great famine over all the inhabited earth, which also came to pass under Claudius.
- And they determined, according as any one of the disciples was well off, each of them to send to the brethren who dwelt in Judaea, to minister to them;
- which also they did, sending it to the elders by the hand of Barnabas and Saul.
