21 And (A)the hand of the Lord was with them, and (B)a large number who believed turned to the Lord. 22 The [a]news about them [b]reached the ears of the church in Jerusalem, and they sent (C)Barnabas off [c]to (D)Antioch. 23 Then when he arrived and [d]witnessed (E)the grace of God, he rejoiced and began to encourage them all with [e]resolute heart to remain true to the Lord; 24 for he was a good man, and (F)full of the Holy Spirit and faith. And [f](G)considerable numbers were added to the Lord. 25 And he left for (H)Tarsus to look for Saul; 26 and when he had found him, he brought him to (I)Antioch. And for an entire year they [g]met with the church and taught [h]considerable numbers of people; and (J)the disciples were first called (K)Christians in (L)Antioch.

Acts 11:21-26
King James Version
21 And the hand of the Lord was with them: and a great number believed, and turned unto the Lord.
22 Then tidings of these things came unto the ears of the church which was in Jerusalem: and they sent forth Barnabas, that he should go as far as Antioch.
23 Who, when he came, and had seen the grace of God, was glad, and exhorted them all, that with purpose of heart they would cleave unto the Lord.
24 For he was a good man, and full of the Holy Ghost and of faith: and much people was added unto the Lord.
25 Then departed Barnabas to Tarsus, for to seek Saul:
26 And when he had found him, he brought him unto Antioch. And it came to pass, that a whole year they assembled themselves with the church, and taught much people. And the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch.
