19MeanwhileG3767G3303 thoseG3588 scatteredG1289 byG575 theG3588 persecutionG2347 that beganG1096 withG1909 StephenG4736 traveled as far asG1330G2193 PhoeniciaG5403, CyprusG2954, andG2532 AntiochG490, speakingG2980 theG3588 messageG3056 onlyG3367G1487G3361 to JewsG2453. 20ButG1161 someG5100 ofG1537 themG846, menG435 from CyprusG2953 andG2532 CyreneG2956, wentG2064 toG1519 AntiochG490 and began speakingG2980 toG4314 theG3588 GreeksG16751 as wellG2532, proclaiming the good newsG2097 about theG3588 LordG2962 JesusG2424. 21The handG5495 of the LordG2962 wasG1510 withG3326 themG846, andG5037 a greatG4183 numberG706 of people believedG4100 and turnedG1994 toG1909 theG3588 LordG2962.

22When newsG3056 ofG4012 thisG846 reached theG3588 earsG3775 of theG3588 churchG1577 inG1722 JerusalemG2419, they sentG1821 BarnabasG921 toG1330G2193 AntiochG490. 23When heG3739 arrivedG3854 andG2532 sawG3708 theG3588 graceG5485 ofG3588 GodG2316, he rejoicedG5463 andG2532 encouragedG3870 them allG3956 to abideG4357 inG1722 theG3588 LordG2962 withG3588 all theirG4286 heartsG2588. 24Barnabas wasG1510 a goodG18 manG435, fullG4134 of the HolyG40 SpiritG4151 andG2532 faithG4102, andG2532 a greatG2425 number of people were broughtG4369 to theG3588 LordG2962.

25ThenG1161 Barnabas wentG1831 toG1519 TarsusG5019 to look forG327 SaulG4569, 26andG2532 when he foundG2147 him, he broughtG71 him back toG1519 AntiochG490. So for a fullG3650 yearG1763 theyG846 met togetherG4863 withG1722 theG3588 churchG1577 andG2532 taughtG1321 largeG2425 numbers of people. TheG3588 disciplesG3101 were first calledG5537G4413 ChristiansG5546 atG1722 AntiochG490.

InG1722 thoseG3778 daysG2250 some prophetsG4396 came downG2718 fromG575 JerusalemG2414 toG1519 AntiochG490. 28OneG1520 ofG1537 themG846 namedG3686 AgabusG13 stood upG450 and predictedG4591 throughG1223 theG3588 SpiritG4151 that a greatG3173 famineG3042 wouldG3195 sweepG1510 acrossG1909 theG3588 wholeG3650 worldG3625.2 (This happenedG1096 underG1909 ClaudiusG2804.) 29So theG3588 disciplesG3101, eachG1538 according toG2531 his abilityG2141, decidedG3724 to sendG3992 reliefG1248 to theG3588 brothersG80 livingG2730 inG1722 JudeaG2449. 30ThisG3739G2532 they didG4160, sendingG649 their gifts toG4314 theG3588 eldersG4245 withG1223G5495 BarnabasG921 andG2532 SaulG4569.
