[15]AndG1161 asG1722 IG3165 beganG756[G5670] to speakG2980[G5721], the HolyG40 GhostG4151 fellG1968[G5627] onG1909 themG846, asG5618[G2532] onG1909 usG2248 atG1722 the beginningG746.	[15]And as I began to speak, the Holy Ghost fell on them, even as upon us at the beginning.

[17]ForasmuchG1487 thenG3767 asG5613 GodG2316 gaveG1325[G5656] themG846 the likeG2470 giftG1431 asG2532 he did unto usG2254, who believedG4100[G5660] onG1909 the LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547;[G1161] whatG5101 wasG2252[G5713] IG1473, that I couldG1415 withstandG2967[G5658] GodG2316?	[17]Forasmuch then as God gave them a like gift, as he did unto us, when we believed in the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I, that I could let God?

[19]NowG3767[G3303] they which were scattered abroadG1289[G5651] uponG575 the persecutionG2347 that aroseG1096[G5637] aboutG1909 StephenG4736 travelledG1330[G5627] as far asG2193 PheniceG5403, andG2532 CyprusG2954, andG2532 AntiochG490, preachingG2980[G5723] the wordG3056 to noneG3367 butG1508 unto the JewsG2453 onlyG3440.

[20]AndG1161 someG5100 ofG1537 themG846 wereG2258[G5713] menG435 of CyprusG2953 andG2532 CyreneG2956, whichG3748, when they were comeG1525[G5631] toG1519 AntiochG490, spakeG2980[G5707] untoG4314 the GreciansG1675, preachingG2097[G5734] the LordG2962 JesusG2424.

[22]ThenG1161 tidingsG3056 ofG4012 these thingsG846 cameG191[G5681] untoG1519 the earsG3775 of the churchG1577 whichG3588 was inG1722 JerusalemG2414: andG2532 they sent forthG1821[G5656] BarnabasG921, that he should goG1330[G5629] as far asG2193 AntiochG490.	[22]Then tidings of those things came unto the ears of the Church, which was in Jerusalem, and they sent forth Barnabas that he should go unto Antiochia.
[23]WhoG3739, when he cameG3854[G5637], andG2532 had seenG1492[G5631] the graceG5485 of GodG2316, was gladG5463[G5644], andG2532 exhortedG3870[G5707] them allG3956, that with purposeG4286 of heartG2588 they would cleave untoG4357[G5721] the LordG2962.	[23]Who when he was come and had seen the grace of God, was glad, and exhorted all, that with purpose of heart they would cleave unto the Lord.

[24]For he was a good man, and full of the Holy Ghost, and faith, and much people joined themselves unto the Lord.
[25]ThenG1161 departedG1831[G5627] BarnabasG921 toG1519 TarsusG5019, for to seekG327[G5658] SaulG4569:	[25]� Then departed Barnabas to Tarsus to seek Saul:
[26]AndG2532 when he had foundG2147[G5631] himG846, he broughtG71[G5627] himG846 untoG1519 AntiochG490. AndG1161 it came to passG1096[G5633], that a wholeG3650 yearG1763 theyG846 assembled themselvesG4863[G5683] withG1722 the churchG1577, andG2532 taughtG1321[G5658] muchG2425 peopleG3793. AndG5037 the disciplesG3101 were calledG5537[G5658] ChristiansG5546 firstG4412 inG1722 AntiochG490.	[26]And when he had found him, he brought him unto Antiochia, and it came to pass that a whole year they were conversant with the Church, and taught much people, insomuch, that the disciples were first called Christians in Antiochia.
[27]AndG1161 inG1722 theseG5025 daysG2250 cameG2718[G5627] prophetsG4396 fromG575 JerusalemG2414 untoG1519 AntiochG490.	[27]In those days also came Prophets from Jerusalem unto Antiochia.
[28]AndG1161 there stood upG450[G5631] oneG1520 ofG1537 themG846 namedG3686 AgabusG13, and signifiedG4591[G5656] byG1223 the SpiritG4151 that there should beG3195[G5721][G1510][G5705] greatG3173 dearthG3042 throughoutG1909 allG3650 the worldG3625: whichG3748[G2532] came to passG1096[G5633] in the days ofG1909 ClaudiusG2804 CaesarG2541.	[28]And there stood up one of them named Agabus, and signified by the Spirit, that there should be great famine throughout all the world, which also came to pass under Claudius Cesar.
[29]ThenG1161 the disciplesG3101, everyG1538 manG846 according toG2531 his abilityG2141[G5711][G5100], determinedG3724[G5656] to sendG3992[G5658] reliefG1248 untoG1519 the brethrenG80 which dweltG2730[G5723] inG1722 JudaeaG2449:	[29]Then the disciples, every man according to his ability, purposed to send succor unto the brethren which dwelt in Judea.
[30]WhichG3739 alsoG2532 they didG4160[G5656], and sent itG649[G5660] toG4314 the eldersG4245 byG1223 the handsG5495 of BarnabasG921 andG2532 SaulG4569.	[30]Which thing they also did, and sent it to the Elders, by the hands of Barnabas and Saul.
