[e]And this took place in the reign of (E)Claudius. 29 And to the extent that any of (F)the disciples had means, each of them determined to send a contribution for the [f]relief of (G)the brothers and sisters living in Judea. 30 (H)And they did this, sending it [g]with (I)Barnabas and Saul to the (J)elders.

27 Now in those days prophets came down from Jerusalem to Antioch. 28 And one of them named[a] Agabus stood up and[b] indicated by the Spirit that a great famine was about to come over the whole inhabited earth (which took place in the time of Claudius). 29 So from the disciples, according to their ability to give,[c] each one of them determined to send financial aid[d] for support to the brothers who lived in Judea, 30 which they also did, sending the aid[e] to the elders by the hand of Barnabas and Saul.
