Acts 11:25 In-Context

23 When he arrived and saw the grace of God, he was glad, and he encouraged all of them to remain true to the Lord with a firm resolve of the heart-

24 for he was a good man, full of the Holy Spirit and of faith-and large numbers of people were added to the Lord.

25 Then he went to Tarsus to search for Saul,

26 and when he found him he brought him to Antioch. For a whole year they met with the church and taught large numbers, and the disciples were first called Christians in Antioch.

27 In those days some prophets came down from Jerusalem to Antioch.
