Acts 11:22-26

22 The report of this came to the ears of the church in Jerusalem, and they sent Barnabas to Antioch.
23 When he came and saw 1the grace of God, he was glad, and he exhorted them all to remain faithful to the Lord 2with steadfast purpose,
24 for he was a good man, 3full of the Holy Spirit and of faith. And a great many people 4were added to the Lord.
25 So Barnabas went to 5Tarsus to look for Saul,
26 and when he had found him, he brought him to Antioch. For a whole year they met with the church and taught a great many people. And in Antioch the disciples were first called 6Christians.
