Acts 11: 21 - 26
|
| 21
|
And the hand of the Lord was with them, and a great number that believed turned to the Lord.
|
| 22
|
News of this came to the ears of the church in Jerusalem, and they sent Barnabas to Antioch.
|
| 23
|
When he came and saw the grace of God, he was glad; and he exhorted them all to remain faithful to the Lord with steadfast purpose;
|
| 24
|
for he was a good man, full of the Holy Spirit and of faith. And a large company was added to the Lord.
|
| 25
|
So Barnabas went to Tarsus 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 large company of people; and in Antioch the disciples were for the first time called Christians.
