Deeds (Act) of Apostles 11:19-26

¹⁹And they that were scattered of the tribulation that was made under Stephen, walked forth to Phoenicia, and to Cyprus, and to Antioch, and spake the word to no man, but to Jews alone.

²⁰But some of them were men of Cyprus, and of Cyrene; which when they had entered into Antioch, they spake to the Greeks, and preached the Lord Jesus.

²¹And the hand of the Lord was with them, and much number of men believing was converted to the Lord.

²²And the word came to the ears of the church, that was at Jerusalem, on these things; and they sent Barnabas to Antioch.

²³And when he was come, and saw the grace of the Lord, he joyed, and admonished all men to dwell in the Lord in purpose of heart;

²⁴for he was a good man, and full of the Holy Ghost, and of faith. And much people was increased to the Lord.

²⁵And he went forth to Tarsus, to seek Saul;

²⁶and when he had found him, he led to Antioch. And all a year they lived there in the church, and taught much people, so that the disciples were named first at Antioch christian men.
