Acts 11:20-23

20Some of the believers were people who came from Cyprus and Cyrene. These men went to Antioch. There they told God's message to Gentiles, as well as to Jews. They told everyone the good news about the Lord Jesus.

21The Lord God helped these men with his power. Very many people believed their message and they trusted in the Lord Jesus.

22The believers in Jerusalem heard about what had happened in Antioch. So they decided to send Barnabas there.

23Barnabas arrived in Antioch. He saw how God had been kind to the people there and helped them. Barnabas was happy about this. So he said to the new believers, ‘Continue to trust the Lord Jesus completely.’
