Acts 11:23

20 But some of them, men of Cyprus and Cyrene, when they came to Antioch, gave the good news about the Lord Jesus to the Greeks.

21 And the power of the Lord was with them, and a great number had faith and were turned to the Lord.

22 And news of them came to the ears of the church at Jerusalem: and they sent Barnabas as far as Antioch:

23 Who, when he came and saw the grace of God, was glad; and he made clear to them the need of keeping near the Lord with all the strength of their hearts:

24 For he was a good man and full of the Holy Spirit and of faith: and a great number were joined to the Lord.

25 Then he went on to Tarsus, looking for Saul;

26 And when he had come across him, he took him to Antioch. And they were with the church there for a year, teaching the people; and the disciples were first given the name of Christians in Antioch.
