Acts 11:21-26

New American Standard Bible

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.
