Acts 11:22-27

New International Version

²² News of this reached the church in Jerusalem, and they sent Barnabas^(A) to Antioch. ²³ When he arrived and saw what the grace of God had done,^(B) he was glad and encouraged them all to remain true to the Lord with all their hearts.^{(C) 24} He was a good man, full of the Holy Spirit^(D) and faith, and a great number of people were brought to the Lord.^(E)

²⁵ Then Barnabas went to Tarsus^(F) to look for Saul, ²⁶ and when he found him, he brought him to Antioch. So for a whole year Barnabas and Saul met with the church and taught great numbers of people. The disciples^(G) were called Christians first^(H) at Antioch.

²⁷ During this time some prophets^(I) came down from Jerusalem to Antioch.
