And (E)considerable [f]numbers were [g]brought to the Lord. 25 And he left for (F)Tarsus to look for Saul; 26 and when he had found him, he brought him to (G)Antioch. And for an entire year they [h]met with the church and taught considerable [i]numbers; and (H)the disciples were first called (I)Christians in (J)Antioch.
