          22When news of this reached the ears of the church in Jerusalem, they sent Barnabas to Antioch.
          23When he arrived and saw the grace of God, he rejoiced and encouraged them all to abide in the Lord with all their hearts.
          24Barnabas was a good man, full of the Holy Spirit and faith, and a great number of people were brought to the Lord.

²⁵Then Barnabas went to Tarsus to look for Saul,

²⁶and when he found him, he brought him back to Antioch. So for a full year they met together with the church and taught large numbers of people. The disciples were first called Christians at Antioch.

²⁷In those days some prophets came down from Jerusalem to Antioch.
