Acts 11:22-26

²²Well the report concerning them reached the ears of the church in Jerusalem, and they sent out Barnabas to go as far as Antioch.

²³Upon arriving and seeing the grace of God, he was glad, and he kept encouraging them all to remain true to the Lord with purpose of heart

²⁴(for he was a good man, full of Holy Spirit and of faith). And a considerable crowd was added to the Lord.

²⁵Then Barnabas departed for Tarsus to look for Saul,

²⁶and upon finding him he brought him to Antioch. So it was that for a whole year they met with the congregation and taught a great many people. The disciples were first called Christians in Antioch.
