Acts 11:20-22

Expanded Bible

²⁰ Some of these believers were people from Cyprus and Cyrene [^Ca city in North Africa]. When they came to Antioch, they spoke also to ·Greeks^[a] [or Hellenists (see textual note); ^Cin 6:1 and 9:29 the word refers to Greek-speaking Jews; here it refers to Greek-speaking Gentiles], telling them the ·Good News [Gospel] about the Lord Jesus. ²¹ ·The Lord was helping the believers [^LThe hand of the Lord was with them], and a large group of people believed and turned to the Lord.

²² The church in Jerusalem heard about all of this, so they sent Barnabas [4:36; 9:26–27] to Antioch.
