The power of the Lord was with them and a large number trusted in the Lord and turned to him. News about what had happened reached the church in Jerusalem, and they sent Barnabas to Antioch. When he arrived and saw for himself how God's grace was working, he was delighted. He encouraged all of them to completely dedicate themselves to God and to stay true. Barnabas was a good man, full of the Holy Spirit, who put his whole trust in God. Many people were brought to the Lord. Then Barnabas went on to Tarsus to look for Saul, and when he found him, he took Saul back with him to Antioch. Over the course of the next year they worked together with the church, teaching the message to crowds of people. It was in Antioch that the believers were first called “Christians.”
