Acts 11:25 In-Context

23 When he came and saw the grace of God, he rejoiced, and he exhorted them all to remain faithful to the Lord with steadfast devotion;

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

25 Then Barnabas went to Tarsus to look for Saul,

26 and when he had found him, he brought him to Antioch. So it was that for an entire year they met with the church and taught a great many people, and it was in Antioch that the disciples were first called "Christians."

27 At that time prophets came down from Jerusalem to Antioch.
