17 aIf therefore God gave them the same gift as He gave us when we believed on the Lord Jesus Christ, bwho was I that I could withstand God?”
18 When they heard these things they became silent; and they glorified God, saying, a“Then God has also granted to the Gentiles repentance to life.”
Barnabas and Saul at Antioch
19 aNow those who were scattered after the persecution that arose over Stephen traveled as far as Phoenicia, Cyprus, and Antioch, preaching the word to no one but the Jews only.
20 But some of them were men from Cyprus and Cyrene, who, when they had come to Antioch, spoke to athe Hellenists, preaching the Lord Jesus.
21 And athe hand of the Lord was with them, and a great number believed and bturned to the Lord.
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.
