And some of them were men of Cyprus, and Cyrene, which when they were come to Antioch, spake vnto the Grecians, preaching the Lord Iesus.

And the hand of the Lord was with them: and a great number beleeued, and turned vnto the Lord.

Then tidings of these things came vnto the eares of the Church, which was in Hierusalem: and they sent foorth Barnabas, that hee should goe as farre as Antioch.

Who when hee came, and had seene the grace of God, was glad, and exhorted them all, that with purpose of heart they would cleaue vnto the Lord.

For he was a good man, and full of the holy Ghost, and of faith: and much people was added vnto the Lord.
