Acts 11:21-24

21And the hand of the Lord was with them: and a great number that believed turned unto the Lord.

22And the report concerning them came to the ears of the church which was in Jerusalem: and they sent forth Barnabas as far as Antioch:

23who, when he was come, and had seen the grace of God, was glad; and he exhorted them all, that with purpose of heart they would cleave unto the Lord:

24for he was a good man, and full of the Holy Ghost and of faith: and much people was added unto the Lord.
