Acts 11:19-21

New Testament for Everyone

Taking root—and a name!—in Antioch

¹⁹ The people who had been scattered because of the persecution that came about over Stephen went as far afield as Phoenicia, Cyprus and Antioch, speaking the word only to Jewish people. ²⁰ But some from among them, who were from Cyprus and Cyrene in the first place, arrived in Antioch and spoke to the Hellenists as well, announcing the good news of the Lord Jesus. ²¹ The Lord’s hand was with them, and a large number of people believed and turned to the Lord.
