Acts 11:19-30

191SoG3767 thenG3767 thoseG3588 who were scatteredG1289 becauseG575 of the 2persecutionG2347 that occurredG1096 inG1909 connectionG1909 withG1909 StephenG4736 madeG1330 their wayG1330 3to 4PhoeniciaG5403, 5CyprusG2954, and 6AntiochG490, speakingG2980 the wordG3056 to noG3367 oneG3367 exceptG1508 to JewsG2453 aloneG3441. 20But there were someG5100 of them, menG435 ofG2953 7CyprusG2953 and 8CyreneG2956, whoG3748 cameG2064 to 9AntiochG490 and began speakingG2980 to the 1011GreeksG1672 asG2532 wellG2532, 12preachingG2097 the goodG2097 newsG2097 of the LordG2962 JesusG2424. 21And 13the handG5495 of the LordG2962 was with them, and 14a largeG4183 numberG706 who believedG4100 turnedG1994 to the LordG2962. 22The 15newsG3056 aboutG4012 them 16reachedG191 the earsG3775 of the churchG1577 in JerusalemG2419, and they sentG1821 17BarnabasG921 offG1821 18to 19AntiochG490. 23Then when he arrivedG3854 and 20witnessedG3708 21the graceG5485 of GodG2316, he rejoicedG5463 and began to encourageG3870 them allG3956 with 22resoluteG4286 heartG2588 to remainG4357 true to the LordG2962; 24for he was a goodG18 manG435, and 23fullG4134 of the HolyG40 SpiritG4151 and faithG4102. And 2425considerableG2425 numbersG3793 were addedG4369 to the LordG2962. 25And he leftG1831 for 26TarsusG5019 to lookG327 for SaulG4569; 26and when he had foundG2147 him, he broughtG71 him to 27AntiochG490. And for an entireG3650 yearG1763 they 28metG4863 with the churchG1577 and taughtG1321 29considerableG2425 numbersG3793 ofG3793 peopleG3793; and 30the disciplesG3101 were firstG4416 calledG5537 31ChristiansG5546 in 32AntiochG490.

27NowG1161 33at thisG3778 timeG2250 some 34prophetsG4396 cameG2718 downG2718 from JerusalemG2414 to 35AntiochG490. 28OneG1520 of them, namedG3686 36AgabusG13, stoodG450 upG450 and 37indicatedG4591 38by the SpiritG4151 that there wouldG3195 definitelyG3195 be a severeG3173 famineG3042 39allG3650 overG1909 the 40worldG3625. 41And thisG3748 tookG1096 placeG1096 in the reign of 42ClaudiusG2804. 29And toG2531 theG2531 extentG2531 thatG2531 anyG5100 of 43the disciplesG3101 hadG2141 meansG2141, eachG1538 of them determinedG3724 to sendG3992 a contribution for the 44reliefG1248 of 45the brothersG80 and sisters livingG2730 in JudeaG2449. 3046And they didG4160 thisG3739, sendingG649 it 47withG1223G5495 48BarnabasG921 and SaulG4569 to the 49eldersG4245.
