Expanded Bible

²⁶ and when he found Saul, he brought him to Antioch. For a whole year Saul and Barnabas met with the church and taught many people there. In Antioch the ·followers [disciples] were called Christians for the first time [^Chighlighting that they were followers of Christ, and perhaps that they were no longer viewed as merely a sect within Judaism].

²⁷ ·About that time [^LIn those days] some prophets came [^Ldown] from Jerusalem to Antioch. ²⁸ One of them, named Agabus [21:10], stood up and spoke ·with the help of [by the power of; through] the Holy Spirit. He said, “A severe famine is coming to the whole ·world [or inhabited world; ^Cprobably meaning the Roman empire].” (This happened when Claudius [^CRoman emperor from ad 41–54] ruled.)
