• 22 When the church at Jerusalem heard what had
  happened, they sent Barnabas to Antioch. 23 When
  he arrived and saw this proof of Gods favor, he
  was filled with joy, and he encouraged the
  believers to stay true to the Lord. 24 Barnabas
  was a good man, full of the Holy Spirit and
  strong in faith. And large numbers of people were
  brought to the Lord. 25 Then Barnabas went on to
  Tarsus to find Saul. 26 When he found him, he
  brought him back to Antioch. Both of them stayed
  there with the church for a full year, teaching
  great numbers of people. (It was there at Antioch
  that the believers were first called Christians.)
