Acts 11:24-30

24 for he was a good man, ¹full of the Holy Spirit and of faith. And a great many people ²were added to the Lord.

25 So Barnabas went to ³Tarsus 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 ⁴Christians.

27 Now in these days ⁵prophets came down from Jerusalem to Antioch.

28 And one of them named ⁶Agabus stood up and foretold ⁷by the Spirit that there would be a great ⁸famine over all the world (this took place in the days of ⁹Claudius).

29 So the disciples determined, every one according to his ability, ¹⁰to send relief to ¹¹the brothers^[a] living in Judea.

30 ¹²And they did so, sending it to ¹³the elders by the hand of Barnabas and Saul.
