Acts 11:24-30

24 for he was a good man, and ¹full of the Holy Spirit and of faith. And ²considerable numbers were brought to the Lord.

25 And he left for ³Tarsus to look for Saul;

26 and when he had found him, he brought him to ⁴Antioch. And for an entire year they met with the church and taught considerable numbers; and ⁵the disciples were first called ⁶Christians in ⁷Antioch.

27 Now at this time ⁸some prophets came down from Jerusalem to ⁹Antioch.

28 One of them named ¹⁰Agabus stood up and began to indicate by the Spirit that there would certainly be a great famine ¹¹all over the world. And this took place in the reign of ¹²Claudius.

29 And in the proportion that any of ¹³the disciples had means, each of them determined to send a contribution for the relief of ¹⁴the brethren living in Judea.

30 ¹⁵And this they did, sending it in charge * of ¹⁶Barnabas and Saul to the ¹⁷elders.
