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.
