22 And the word was heard in the ears of the church in Jerusalem concerning them: and they sent Barnabas to pass through even to Antioch. 23 Who, having been present, and seen the grace of God, rejoiced, and besought them all, with purpose of heart, to remain to the Lord. 24 For he was a good man, and full of the Holy Spirit and of faith: and a crowd sufficient were added to the Lord. 25 And Barnabas came forth to Tarsus, to seek Saul. 26 And having found him, he brought him to Antioch. And it was for a whole year they were assembled together in the churches, and taught a sufficient crowd. And the disciples were Christians by divine intimation first in Antioch. 27 In these days came down prophets from Jerusalem to Antioch. 28 And one of them having risen, Agabus by name, signified by the Holy Spirit a great famine was about to be upon the whole habitable globe: which was during Claudius Caesar. 29 And certain of the disciples, as he was able, determined, each of them, to send for service to the brethren dwelling in Judea: 30 Which also they did, having sent to the elders by the hands of Barnabas and Saul.
