Acts 11:24-30

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.

²⁸One of them, named Agabus, came forward and, under the influence of the Spirit, foretold a great famine that was to spread over all the world — a famine which occurred in the reign of Claudius.

²⁹So the disciples, without exception, determined, in proportion to their means, to send something to help the followers living in Judea.

³⁰And this they did, sending it to the church elders by Barnabas and Saul.
