Acts 11:21-24

21And 1the hand of the Lord was with them, and 2a large number who believed turned to the Lord.

22The 3news about them 4reached the ears of the church in Jerusalem, and they sent 5Barnabas off 6to 7Antioch.

23Then when he arrived and 8witnessed 9the grace of God, he rejoiced and began to encourage them all with 10resolute heart to remain true to the Lord;

24for he was a good man, and 11full of the Holy Spirit and faith. And 12 13considerable numbers were added to the Lord.
