Acts 11:22-30 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

22. Now the news came to the ears of the Church at Jerusalem about these things, and they sent Barnabas as far as Antioch.

23. And when he had arrived there and had seen the grace of God, he was gladdened. And he exhorted them all to continue in the Lord with a resolute heart.

24. For he was a good man, and he was filled with the Holy Spirit and with faith. And a great multitude was added to the Lord.

25. Then Barnabas set out for Tarsus, so that he might seek Saul. And when he had found him, he brought him to Antioch.

26. And they were conversing there in the Church for an entire year. And they taught such a great multitude, that it was at Antioch that the disciples were first known by the name of Christian.

27. Now in these days, prophets from Jerusalem went over to Antioch.

28. And one of them, named Agabus, rising up, signified through the Spirit that there was going to be a great famine over the entire world, which did happen under Claudius.

29. Then the disciples declared, according to what each one possessed, what they would offer to be sent to the brothers living in Judea.

30. And so they did, sending it to the elders by the hands of Barnabas and Saul.
