Acts 11:24-27

²⁴For Barnabas was a good man and full of the Holy Spirit and of faith — and a large number of people took their stand on the Lord's side.

²⁵Afterward Barnabas left for Tarsus to look for Saul;

²⁶and, when he had found him, he brought him to Antioch. And so it came about that, for a whole year, they attended the meetings of the church there, and taught a large number of people; and it was in Antioch that the disciples were first called ‘Christians.’

²⁷During this time, some prophets came to Antioch from Jerusalem.
