And it came to pass, that a whole year they assembled themselves with the church, and taught much people. And the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch (11:26) And in these days came prophets from Jerusalem unto Antioch (11:27) And there stood up one of them named Agabus, and signified by the Spirit that there should be great dearth throughout all the world: which came to pass in the days of Claudius Caesar (11:28) Then the disciples, every man according to his ability, determined to send relief unto the brethren which dwelt in Judaea: (11:29) Which also they did, and sent it to the elders by the hands of Barnabas and Saul
(11:30)
