Acts 11:20-26

20But there were some of them, men of 1Cyprus and 2Cyrene, who came to 3Antioch and began speaking to the 45Greeks as well, 6preaching the good news of the Lord Jesus. 21And 7the hand of the Lord was with them, and 8a large number who believed turned to the Lord. 22The 9news about them 10reached the ears of the church in Jerusalem, and they sent 11Barnabas off 12to 13Antioch. 23Then when he arrived and 14witnessed 15the grace of God, he rejoiced and began to encourage them all with 16resolute heart to remain true to the Lord; 24for he was a good man, and 17full of the Holy Spirit and faith. And 1819considerable numbers were added to the Lord. 25And he left for 20Tarsus to look for Saul; 26and when he had found him, he brought him to 21Antioch. And for an entire year they 22met with the church and taught 23considerable numbers of people; and 24the disciples were first called 25Christians in 26Antioch.
