Acts 11:22-30
New American Standard Bible 1995
22 The [a]news about them [b]reached the ears of the church at Jerusalem, and they sent (A)Barnabas off [c]to (B)Antioch. 23 Then when he arrived and [d]witnessed (C)the grace of God, he rejoiced and began to encourage them all with [e]resolute heart to remain true to the Lord; 24 for he was a good man, and (D)full of the Holy Spirit and of faith. And (E)considerable [f]numbers were [g]brought to the Lord. 25 And he left for (F)Tarsus to look for Saul; 26 and when he had found him, he brought him to (G)Antioch. And for an entire year they [h]met with the church and taught considerable [i]numbers; and (H)the disciples were first called (I)Christians in (J)Antioch.
27 Now [j]at this time (K)some prophets came down from Jerusalem to (L)Antioch. 28 One of them named (M)Agabus stood up and began to indicate [k]by the Spirit that there would certainly be a great famine (N)all over the [l]world. [m]And this took place in the reign of (O)Claudius. 29 And in the proportion that any of (P)the disciples had means, each of them determined to send a contribution for the [n]relief of (Q)the brethren living in Judea. 30 (R)And this they did, sending it [o]in charge of (S)Barnabas and Saul to the (T)elders.
