Verse
Acts - ch 11 v 21 - 30
- The hand of the Lord was with them, and a great number believed and turned to the Lord.
- The report concerning them came to the ears of the assembly which was in Jerusalem. They sent out Barnabas to go as far as Antioch,
- who, when he had come, and had seen the grace of God, was glad. He exhorted them all, that with purpose of heart they should remain near to the Lord.
- For he was a good man, and full of the Holy Spirit and of faith, and many people were added to the Lord.
- Barnabas went out to Tarsus to look for Saul.
- When he had found him, he brought him to Antioch. It happened, that for a whole year they were gathered together with the assembly, and taught many people. The disciples were first called Christians in Antioch.
- Now in these days, prophets came down from Jerusalem to Antioch.
- One of them named Agabus stood up, and indicated by the Spirit that there should be a great famine all over the world, which also happened in the days of Claudius.
- As any of the disciples had plenty, each determined to send relief to the brothers who lived in Judea;
- which they also did, sending it to the elders by the hands of Barnabas and Saul.
