22 Then news of these things came to the ears of the church in Jerusalem, and they sent out aBarnabas to go as far as Antioch.
23 When he came and had seen the grace of God, he was glad, and aencouraged them all that with purpose of heart they should continue with the Lord.
24 For he was a good man, afull of the Holy Spirit and of faith. bAnd a great many people were added to the Lord.
25 Then Barnabas departed for aTarsus to seek Saul.
26 And when he had found him, he brought him to Antioch. So it was that for a whole year they assembled with the church and taught a great many people. And the disciples were first called Christians in Antioch.
