The church in Jerusalem heard about this. So they sent Barnabas to Antioch.When he arrived and saw what the grace of God had done, he was glad. He told them all to remain true to the Lord with all their hearts.Barnabas was a good man. He was full of the Holy Spirit and of faith. Large numbers of people came to know the Lord.Then Barnabas went to Tarsus to look for Saul.He found him there. Then he brought him to Antioch. For a whole year Barnabas and Saul met with the church. They taught large numbers of people. At Antioch the believers were called Christians for the first time.In those days some prophets came down from Jerusalem to Antioch.

Joseph was a Levite from Cyprus. The apostles called him Barnabas. The name Barnabas means Son of Help.

Tiberius Caesar had been ruling for 15 years. Pontius Pilate was governor of Judea. Herod was the ruler of Galilee. His brother Philip was the ruler of Iturea and Traconitis. Lysanias was ruler of Abilene.

So Christ himself gave the gift of the apostles to the church. He gave the prophets and those who preach the good news. And he also gave the pastors and teachers as a gift to the church.

We all have gifts. They differ according to the grace God has given to each of us. Do you have the gift of prophecy? Then use it according to the faith you have.If your gift is serving, then serve. If it is teaching, then teach.

Paul and Barnabas remained in Antioch. There they and many others taught and preached the word of the Lord.

First, God has placed apostles in the church. Second, he has placed prophets in the church. Third, he has placed teachers in the church. Then he has given to the church miracles and gifts of healing. He also has given the gift of helping others and the gift of guiding the church. God also has given the gift of speaking in different kinds of languages.Is everyone an apostle? Is everyone a prophet? Is everyone a teacher? Do all work miracles?

Judas and Silas were prophets. They said many things to give strength and hope to the believers.

He had four unmarried daughters who prophesied.

At that time some Pharisees came to Jesus. They said to him,“ Leave this place. Go somewhere else. Herod wants to kill you.”He replied,“ Go and tell that fox,‘ I will keep on driving out demons. I will keep on healing people today and tomorrow. And on the third day I will reach my goal.’

They sent their gift to the elders through Barnabas and Saul.

But suppose unbelievers or visitors come in while everyone is prophesying. Then they will feel guilty about their sin. They will be judged by all.The secrets of their hearts will be brought out into the open. They will fall down and worship God. They will exclaim,“ God is really here among you!”

He learned that Jesus was from Herod’s area of authority. So Pilate sent Jesus to Herod. At that time Herod was also in Jerusalem.When Herod saw Jesus, he was very pleased. He had been wanting to see Jesus for a long time. He had heard much about him. He hoped to see Jesus perform a sign of some kind.Herod asked him many questions, but Jesus gave him no answer.The chief priests and the teachers of the law were standing there. With loud shouts they brought charges against him.Herod and his soldiers laughed at him and made fun of him. They dressed him in a beautiful robe. Then they sent him back to Pilate.

From Attalia they sailed back to Antioch. In Antioch they had been put in God’s care to preach the good news. They had now completed the work God had given them to do.When they arrived at Antioch, they gathered the church together. They reported all that God had done through them. They told how he had opened a way for the Gentiles to believe.

Or are Barnabas and I the only ones who have to do other work for a living? Are we the only ones who can’t just do the work of apostles all the time?

Paul placed his hands on them. Then the Holy Spirit came on them. They spoke in languages they had not known before. They also prophesied.

And Saul had agreed with the Sanhedrin that Stephen should die. On that day the church in Jerusalem began to be attacked and treated badly. All except the apostles were scattered throughout Judea and Samaria.Godly Jews buried Stephen. They mourned deeply for him.But Saul began to destroy the church. He went from house to house. He dragged away men and women and put them in prison.

But John found fault with Herod, the ruler of Galilee, because of his marriage to Herodias. She was the wife of Herod’s brother. John also spoke strongly to Herod about all the other evil things he had done.So Herod locked John up in prison. Herod added this sin to all his others.

All God’s people here send you greetings. Most of all, those who live in the palace of Caesar send you greetings.

At that time Herod, the ruler of Galilee and Perea, heard reports about Jesus.He said to his attendants,“ This is John the Baptist. He has risen from the dead! That is why he has the power to do miracles.”Herod had arrested John. He had tied him up and put him in prison because of Herodias. She was the wife of Herod’s brother Philip.John had been saying to Herod,“ It is against the Law for you to have her as your wife.”Herod wanted to kill John. But he was afraid of the people, because they thought John was a prophet.On Herod’s birthday the daughter of Herodias danced for Herod and his guests. She pleased Herod very much.So he promised to give her anything she asked for.Her mother told her what to say. So the girl said to Herod,“ Give me the head of John the Baptist on a big plate.”The king was very upset. But he thought of his promise and his dinner guests. So he told one of his men to give her what she asked for.Herod had John’s head cut off in the prison.

Timothy works together with me. He sends his greetings to you. So do Lucius, Jason and Sosipater, my fellow Jews.

Saul was also known as Paul. He was filled with the Holy Spirit. He looked straight at Elymas. He said to him,

Peter’s actions were not honest, and other Jews in Antioch joined him. Even Barnabas was led astray.

Some believers had been scattered by the suffering that unbelievers had caused them. They were scattered after Stephen was killed. Those believers traveled as far as Phoenicia, Cyprus and Antioch. But they spread the word only among Jews.Some believers from Cyprus and Cyrene went to Antioch. There they began to speak to Greeks also. They told them the good news about the Lord Jesus.

James, Peter and John are respected as pillars in the church. They recognized the special grace given to me. So they shook my hand and the hand of Barnabas. They wanted to show they accepted us. They agreed that we should go to the Gentiles. They would go to the Jews.

Meanwhile, Saul continued to oppose the Lord’s followers. He said they would be put to death. He went to the high priest.

Barnabas and Saul finished their task. Then they returned from Jerusalem. They took John Mark with them.

Don’t treat prophecies as if they weren’t important.
