Acts 11:25-30

25So Barnabas went to Tarsus to look for Saul,

26and when he had found him, he brought him to Antioch. For a whole year they met with the church and taught a great many people. And in Antioch the disciples were first called Christians.

27Now in these days prophets came down from Jerusalem to Antioch.

28And one of them named Agabus stood up and foretold by the Spirit that there would be a great famine over all the world (this took place in the days of Claudius).

29So the disciples determined, every one according to his ability, to send relief to the brothers living in Judea.

30And they did so, sending it to the elders by the hand of Barnabas and Saul.
