Thematic Bible: A city in syria


Thematic Bible



Those who had been scattered as a result of the persecution that started because of Stephen made their way as far as Phoenicia, Cyprus, and Antioch, speaking the message to no one except Jews.


In the church that was at Antioch there were prophets and teachers: Barnabas, Simeon who was called Niger, Lucius the Cyrenian, Manaen, a close friend of Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.

From there they sailed back to Antioch where they had been entrusted to the grace of God for the work they had now completed.

Then the apostles and the elders, with the whole church, decided to select men who were among them and to send them to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas: Judas, called Barsabbas, and Silas, both leading men among the brothers.

Then, being sent off, they went down to Antioch, and after gathering the assembly, they delivered the letter.

On landing at Caesarea, he went up and greeted the church and went down to Antioch.
