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.
