Acts 11:13-30

13and he related to us how he had seen the angel in his house, standing and saying [to him], Send [men] to Joppa and fetch Simon, who is surnamed Peter, 14who shall speak words to thee whereby thou shalt be saved, thou and all thy house. 15And as I began to speak, the Holy Spirit fell upon them even as upon us also at the beginning. 16And I remembered the word of the Lord, how he said, John baptised with water, but ye shall be baptised with [the] Holy Spirit. 17If then 1God has given them the same gift as also to us when we had believed on the Lord Jesus Christ, who indeed was I to be able to forbid 2God? 18And when they heard these things they held their peace, and glorified 3God, saying, Then indeed 4God has to the nations also granted repentance to life. 19They then who had been scattered abroad through the tribulation that took place on the occasion of Stephen, passed through [the country] to Phoenicia and Cyprus and Antioch, speaking the word to no one but to Jews alone. 20But there were certain of them, Cyprians and Cyrenians, who entering into Antioch spoke to the Greeks also, announcing the glad tidings of the Lord Jesus. 21And [the] Lord's hand was with them, and a great number believed and turned to the Lord. 22And the report concerning them reached the ears of the assembly which was in Jerusalem, and they sent out Barnabas to go through as far as Antioch: 23who, having arrived and seeing the grace of 5God, rejoiced, and exhorted all with purpose of heart to abide with the Lord; 24for he was a good man and full of [the] Holy Spirit and of faith; and a large crowd [of people] were added to the Lord. 25And he went away to Tarsus to seek out Saul. 26And having found [him], he brought him to Antioch. And so it was with them that for a whole year they were gathered together in the assembly and taught a large crowd: and the disciples were first called Christians in Antioch. 27Now in these days prophets went down from Jerusalem to Antioch; 28and one from among them, by name Agabus, rose up and signified by the Spirit that there was going to be a great famine over all the inhabited earth, which also came to pass under Claudius. 29And they determined, according as any one of the disciples was well off, each of them to send to the brethren who dwelt in Judaea, to minister [to them]; 30which also they did, sending it to the elders by the hand of Barnabas and Saul.
