22 The [a]news about them [b]reached the ears of the church in Jerusalem, and they sent (A)Barnabas off [c]to (B)Antioch. 23 Then when he arrived and [d]witnessed (C)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 (D)full of the Holy Spirit and faith. And [f](E)considerable numbers were added 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 [g]met with the church and taught [h]considerable numbers of people; and (H)the disciples were first called (I)Christians in (J)Antioch.
