Acts 11:25-30

25 And he left for ¹Tarsus to look for Saul;

26 and when he had found him, he brought him to ²Antioch. And for an entire year they met with the church and taught considerable numbers; and ³the disciples were first called ⁴Christians in ⁵Antioch.

27 Now at this time ⁶some prophets came down from Jerusalem to ⁷Antioch.

28 One of them named ⁸Agabus stood up and began to indicate by the Spirit that there would certainly be a great famine ⁹all over the world. And this took place in the reign of ¹⁰Claudius.

29 And in the proportion that any of ¹¹the disciples had means, each of them determined to send a contribution for the relief of ¹²the brethren living in Judea.

30 ¹³And this they did, sending it in charge * of ¹⁴Barnabas and Saul to the ¹⁵elders.
