(11:19–30) This passage describes the beginnings of the church in Antioch when the scattered believers preach to the Hellenists (11:19–21). The Jerusalem church hears about Antioch and sends Barnabas to teach them; Barnabas sends for Saul, and they contribute to the growth of the Antiochene church (11:22–26). Agabus, a Jerusalem prophet, prophesies in Antioch about a global famine. Consequently, the disciples send relief funds to the Jerusalem elders (11:27–30).
