25 Barnabas went to Tarsus to look for Saul.
26 He found Saul and brought him to Antioch, where they met with the church for a whole year and taught many of its people. There in Antioch the Lord's followers were first called Christians.
27 During this time some prophets from Jerusalem came to Antioch.
28 One of them was Agabus. Then with the help of the Spirit, he told that there would be a terrible famine everywhere in the world. And it happened when Claudius was Emperor.
29 The followers in Antioch decided to send whatever help they could to the followers in Judea.
30 So they appointed Barnabas and Saul to take their gifts to the church leaders in Jerusalem.
