Jesus to them. The hand of the Lord waswith them and a great number of thembelieved and were converted to the Lord.News of this eventually reached the ears ofthe church in Jerusalem, resulting inBarnabas being sent to Antioch. On hisarrival he rejoiced to see the evidence ofGods favor. He encouraged them all toremain firm in their commitment to theLord, since he himself was a good manfilled with the Holy Spirit and faith.Thereby large numbers were added to theLord. Then Barnabas went off to Tarsus tolook for Saul; once he had found him, hebrought him back to Antioch. For a wholeyear they met with the church andinstructed great numbers. It was inAntioch that the disciples were calledChristians for the first time. This made thedisciples determine to set somethingaside, each according to his means, andsend it to the relief of brothers who livedin Judea. They did this, dispatching it tothe presbyters in the care of Barnabas andSaul.
