Acts 11:22-30
New International Version

22 News of this reached the church in Jerusalem, and they sent Barnabas(A) to Antioch. 23 When he arrived and saw what the grace of God had done,(B) he was glad and encouraged them all to remain true to the Lord with all their hearts.(C) 24 He was a good man, full of the Holy Spirit(D) and faith, and a great number of people were brought to the Lord.(E)

25 Then Barnabas went to Tarsus(F) to look for Saul, 26 and when he found him, he brought him to Antioch. So for a whole year Barnabas and Saul met with the church and taught great numbers of people. The disciples(G) were called Christians first(H) at Antioch.

27 During this time some prophets(I) came down from Jerusalem to Antioch. 28 One of them, named Agabus,(J) stood up and through the Spirit predicted that a severe famine would spread over the entire Roman world.(K) (This happened during the reign of Claudius.)(L) 29 The disciples,(M) as each one was able, decided to provide help(N) for the brothers and sisters(O) living in Judea. 30 This they did, sending their gift to the elders(P) by Barnabas(Q) and Saul.(R)

Acts 11:22-30
New King James Version

22 Then news of these things came to the ears of the church in Jerusalem, and they sent out (A)Barnabas to go as far as Antioch. 23 When he came and had seen the grace of God, he was glad, and (B)encouraged them all that with purpose of heart they should continue with the Lord. 24 For he was a good man, (C)full of the Holy Spirit and of faith. (D)And a great many people were added to the Lord.

25 Then Barnabas departed for (E)Tarsus to seek Saul. 26 And when he had found him, he brought him to Antioch. So it was that for a whole year they assembled with the church and taught a great many people. And the disciples were first called Christians in Antioch.

Relief to Judea

27 And in these days (F)prophets came from Jerusalem to Antioch. 28 Then one of them, named (G)Agabus, stood up and showed by the Spirit that there was going to be a great famine throughout all the world, which also happened in the days of (H)Claudius Caesar. 29 Then the disciples, each according to his ability, determined to send (I)relief to the brethren dwelling in Judea. 30 (J)This they also did, and sent it to the elders by the hands of Barnabas and Saul.

New American Standard Bible

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.

27 Now [i]at this time some (K)prophets came down from Jerusalem to (L)Antioch. 28 One of them, named (M)Agabus, stood up and [j]indicated [k]by the Spirit that there would definitely be a severe famine (N)all over the [l]world. [m]And this took place in the reign of (O)Claudius. 29 And to the extent that any of (P)the disciples had means, each of them determined to send a contribution for the [n]relief of (Q)the brothers and sisters living in Judea. 30 (R)And they did this, sending it [o]with (S)Barnabas and Saul to the (T)elders.
