Read in context

Acts 11:25–29 · Berean Standard Bible

25 Then Barnabas went to Tarsus to look for Saul,

26 and when he found him, he brought him back to Antioch. So for a full year they met together with the church and taught large numbers of people. The disciples were first called Christians at Antioch.

27 In those days some prophets came down from Jerusalem to Antioch.

28 One of them named Agabus stood up and predicted through the Spirit that a great famine would sweep across the whole world. (This happened under Claudius.)

29 So the disciples, each according to his ability, decided to send relief to the brothers living in Judea.
