Acts 11:20-30

20 But there were some of them, men of ¹Cyprus and ²Cyrene, who came to ³Antioch and began speaking to the ⁴Greeks also, ⁵preaching the Lord Jesus.

21 And ⁶the hand of the Lord was with them, and ⁷a large number who believed turned to the Lord.

22 The news about them reached the ears of the church at Jerusalem, and they sent ⁸Barnabas off to ⁹Antioch.

23 Then when he arrived and witnessed ¹⁰the grace of God, he rejoiced and began to encourage them all with resolute heart to remain true to the Lord;

24 for he was a good man, and ¹¹full of the Holy Spirit and of faith. And ¹²considerable numbers were brought to the Lord.

25 And he left for ¹³Tarsus to look for Saul;

26 and when he had found him, he brought him to ¹⁴Antioch. And for an entire year they met with the church and taught considerable numbers; and ¹⁵the disciples were first called ¹⁶Christians in ¹⁷Antioch.

27 Now at this time ¹⁸some prophets came down from Jerusalem to ¹⁹Antioch.

28 One of them named ²⁰Agabus stood up and began to indicate by the Spirit that there would certainly be a great famine ²¹all over the world. And this took place in the reign of ²²Claudius.

29 And in the proportion that any of ²³the disciples had means, each of them determined to send a contribution for the relief of ²⁴the brethren living in Judea.

30 ²⁵And this they did, sending it in charge * of ²⁶Barnabas and Saul to the ²⁷elders.
