Acts 11:22-30
-
22 Then tidings of these things came unto the ears of the church which was in Jerusalem: and they sent forth Barnabas, that he should go as far as Antioch.
-
23 Who, when he came, and had seen the grace of God, was glad, and exhorted them all, that with purpose of heart they would cleave unto the Lord.
-
24 For he was a good man, and full of the Holy Ghost and of faith: and much people was added unto the Lord.
-
25 Then departed Barnabas to Tarsus, for to seek Saul:
-
26 And when he had found him, he brought him unto Antioch. And it came to pass, that a whole year they assembled themselves with the church, and taught much people. And the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch.
-
27 And in these days came prophets from Jerusalem unto Antioch.
-
28 And there stood up one of them named Agabus, and signified by the Spirit that there should be great dearth throughout all the world: which came to pass in the days of Claudius Caesar.
-
29 Then the disciples, every man according to his ability, determined to send relief unto the brethren which dwelt in Judaea:
-
30 Which also they did, and sent it to the elders by the hands of Barnabas and Saul.
