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, ^(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 as well, ^(I)preaching 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 The ^[d]news about them ^[e]reached the ears of the church in Jerusalem, and they sent ^(L)Barnabas off ^[f]to ^(M)Antioch. ²³ Then when he arrived and ^[g]witnessed ^(N)the grace of God, he rejoiced and began to encourage them all with ^[h]resolute heart to remain true to the Lord; ²⁴ for he was a good man, and ^(O)full of the Holy Spirit and faith. And ^[i](P)considerable numbers were added to the Lord. ²⁵ And he left for ^(Q)Tarsus to look for Saul; ²⁶ and when he had found him, he brought him to ^(R)Antioch. And for an entire year they ^[j]met with the church and taught ^[k]considerable numbers of people; and ^(S)the disciples were first called ^(T)Christians in ^(U)Antioch.
