Acts 11:27

Acts 11:27

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.

Relief to Judea

27 And in these days ^aprophets came from Jerusalem to Antioch.

28 Then one of them, named ^aAgabus, stood up and showed by the Spirit that there was going to be a great famine throughout all the world, which also happened in the days of ^bClaudius Caesar.

29 Then the disciples, each according to his ability, determined to send ^arelief to the brethren dwelling in Judea.

30 ^aThis they also did, and sent it to the elders by the hands of Barnabas and Saul.
