Acts 11:27-30

Jerusalem Recognizes God’s Grace to the Gentiles

Peter defends Gentile inclusion, Jerusalem glorifies God, scattered believers preach to Greeks in Antioch, Barnabas and Saul teach the church, and the disciples show practical fellowship through famine relief.

Berean Standard Bible, Public Domain - Translation notes - Reference sources

27In those days some prophets came down from Jerusalem to Antioch.

28One of them named Agabus stood up and predicted through the Spirit that a great famine would sweep across the whole world. (This happened under Claudius.)

29So the disciples, each according to his ability, decided to send relief to the brothers living in Judea.

30This they did, sending their gifts to the elders with Barnabas and Saul.
