The Church in Antioch

19 ^aNow those who were scattered because of the persecution that arose over Stephen traveled as far as Phoenicia and Cyprus and Antioch, speaking the word to no one except Jews. 20 But there were some of them, men of Cyprus and Cyrene, who on coming to Antioch spoke to the Hellenists ^{▼▼Or Greeks (that is, Greek-speaking non-Jews)} also, ^cpreaching the Lord Jesus. 21 And ^dthe hand of the Lord was with them, and a great number who believed ^eturned to the Lord. 22 The report of this came to the ears of the church in Jerusalem, and they sent Barnabas to Antioch.
