Acts 11:23-30
23Then when he arrivedG3854 and 1witnessedG3708 2the graceG5485 of GodG2316, he rejoicedG5463 and began to encourageG3870 them allG3956 with 3resoluteG4286 heartG2588 to remainG4357 true to the LordG2962; 24for he was a goodG18 manG435, and 4fullG4134 of the HolyG40 SpiritG4151 and of faithG4102. And 5considerableG2425 6numbersG3793 were 7broughtG4369 to the LordG2962. 25And he leftG1831 for 8TarsusG5019 to lookG327 for SaulG4569; 26and when he had foundG2147 him, he broughtG71 him to 9AntiochG490. And for an entireG3650 yearG1763 they 10metG4863 with the churchG1577 and taughtG1321 considerableG2425 11numbersG3793; and 12the disciplesG3101 were firstG4416 calledG5537 13ChristiansG5546 in 14AntiochG490.
27NowG1161 15at thisG3778 timeG2250 16some prophetsG4396 cameG2718 downG2718 from JerusalemG2414 to 17AntiochG490. 28OneG1520 of them namedG3686 18AgabusG13 stoodG450 up and began to indicateG4591 19by the SpiritG4151 that there wouldG3195 certainlyG3195 be a greatG3173 famineG3042 20allG3650 overG1909 the 21worldG3625. 22And thisG3748 tookG1096 placeG1096 in the reign of 23ClaudiusG2804. 29And in the proportionG2531 that anyG5100 of 24the disciplesG3101 hadG2141 meansG2141, eachG1538 of them determinedG3724 to sendG3992 a contribution for the 25reliefG1248 of 26the brethrenG80 livingG2730 in JudeaG2453. 3027And thisG3739 they didG4160, sendingG649 it 28in chargeG1223G5495 of 29BarnabasG921 and SaulG4569 to the 30eldersG4245.
