Acts 11:23-30

23Then when he arrived and 1witnessed 2the grace of God, he rejoiced and began to encourage them all with 3resolute heart to remain true to the Lord; 24for he was a good man, and 4full of the Holy Spirit and of faith. And 5considerable 6numbers were 7brought to the Lord. 25And he left for 8Tarsus to look for Saul; 26and when he had found him, he brought him to 9Antioch. And for an entire year they 10met with the church and taught considerable 11numbers; and 12the disciples were first called 13Christians in 14Antioch.

27Now 15at this time 16some prophets came down from Jerusalem to 17Antioch. 28One of them named 18Agabus stood up and began to indicate 19by the Spirit that there would certainly be a great famine 20all over the 21world. 22And this took place in the reign of 23Claudius. 29And in the proportion that any of 24the disciples had means, each of them determined to send a contribution for the 25relief of 26the brethren living in Judea. 3027And this they did, sending it 28in charge of 29Barnabas and Saul to the 30elders.
