Then departed Barnabas to Tarsus "In Cilicia" to seek Saul; who had been sent thither by the brethren that he might escape the rage of the Grecians, who sought to slay him, ( Acts 9:29Acts 9:30 ) .
23
And when he came and had seen the grace of God, he was glad and exhorted them all that with purpose of heart they would cleave unto the Lord,
24
for he was a good man and full of the Holy Ghost and of faith. And many people were added unto the Lord.
25
Then Barnabas departed to Tarsus to seek out Saul;
26
and when he had found him, he brought him unto Antioch. And it came to pass that for a whole year they assembled themselves with the church, and taught many people. And the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch.
27
And in these days came prophets from Jerusalem unto Antioch.
