The Church in Antioch

^19 (A)So then those who were scattered because of the ^[a]persecution that occurred in connection with Stephen made their way ^[b]to ^(B)Phoenicia and ^(C)Cyprus and ^(D)Antioch, speaking the word to no one except to Jews alone. ²⁰ But there were some of them, men of ^(E)Cyprus and ^(F)Cyrene, who came to ^(G)Antioch and began speaking to the ^[c](H)Greeks also, ^(I)proclaiming the good news of the Lord Jesus. ²¹ And ^(J)the hand of the Lord was with them, and ^(K)a large number who believed turned to the Lord. ²² Now the ^[d]news about them ^[e]reached the ears of the church at Jerusalem, and they sent ^(L)Barnabas off ^[f]to ^(M)Antioch, ²³ who, when he arrived and saw ^(N)the grace of God, rejoiced and began to encourage them all with a purposeful heart to remain true to the Lord; ²⁴ for he was a good man, and ^(O)full of the Holy Spirit and of faith. And a ^(P)considerable crowd was ^[g]brought to the Lord. ²⁵ And he left for ^(Q)Tarsus to search for Saul; ²⁶ and when he found him, he brought him to ^(R)Antioch. And it happened that for an entire year they ^[h]met with the church and taught a considerable crowd. And ^(S)the disciples were first called ^(T)Christians in ^(U)Antioch.
