THE CHURCH IN ANTIOCH
19Now those who had been scattered as a result of the persecution that started because of Stephen made their way as far as Phoenicia, Cyprus, and Antioch,g speaking the word to no one except Jews. 20But there were some of them, men from Cyprus and Cyrene, who came to Antioch and began speaking to the GreeksA also, proclaiming the good news about the Lord Jesus.h 21The Lord’s hand was with them, and a large number who believed turned to the Lord.i 22News about them reachedB the church in Jerusalem, and they sent out Barnabas to travelC as far as Antioch. 23When he arrived and saw the grace of God, he was glad and encouraged all of them to remain true to the Lord with devoted hearts,j 24for he was a good man, full of the Holy Spiritk and of faith. And large numbers of people were addedl to the Lord.
25Then he E went to Tarsus to search for Saul, 26and when he found him he brought him to Antioch. For a whole year they met with the church and taught large numbers. The disciplesm were first called Christians at Antioch.n
FAMINE RELIEF
27In those days some prophets came down from Jerusalem to Antioch.o 28One of them, named Agabus, stood up and predicted by the Spirit that there would be a severe famine throughout the Roman world.D This took place during the reign of Claudius.p 29Each of the disciples, according to his ability, determined to send relief to the brothers and sisters who lived in Judea.q 30They did this, sending it to the eldersr by means of Barnabas and Saul.
