Acts 11 : 26 - 12 : 2
Chapter 11
| 26 | And when he had found him, he brought him to Antioch. So it was that for a whole year they assembled with the church and taught a great many people. And the disciples were first called Christians in Antioch.
|
| 27 | And in these days prophets came from Jerusalem to Antioch.
|
| 28 | Then one of them, named Agabus, stood up and showed by the Spirit that there was going to be a great famine throughout all the world, which also happened in the days of Claudius Caesar.
|
| 29 | Then the disciples, each according to his ability, determined to send relief to the brethren dwelling in Judea.
|
| 30 | This they also did, and sent it to the elders by the hands of Barnabas and Saul.
|
Chapter 12
| 1 | Now about that time Herod the king stretched out his hand to harass some from the church.
|
| 2 | Then he killed James the brother of John with the sword.

The word of the Lord shall grow, multiply, be mighty, and be confirmed, in the holy Church of God.
Amen.
