20 But some of them were men from Cyprus and Cyrene, who, when they came to Antioch, began to speak to the Hellenists also, proclaiming the good news about the Lord Jesus.
21 And the hand of the Lord was with them, and a large number who believed turned to the Lord.
22 And the report came to the attention of the church that was in Jerusalem about them, and they sent out Barnabas as far as Antioch,
23 who, when he arrived and saw the grace of God, rejoiced and encouraged them all to remain true to the Lord with devoted hearts,
24 because he was a good man and full of the Holy Spirit and of faith. And a large number were added to the Lord.
25 So he departed for Tarsus to look for Saul.
26 And when he found him, he brought him to Antioch. And it happened to them also that they met together for a whole year with the church and taught a large number of people. And in Antioch the disciples were first called Christians.
