Acts of Apostles

Acts.6.5 And what they said pleased the whole gathering, and they chose Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Spirit, and Philip, and Prochorus, and Nicanor, and Timon, and Parmenas, and Nicolaus, a proselyte of Antioch.

Acts.11.19 Now those who were scattered because of the persecution that arose over Stephen traveled as far as Phoenicia and Cyprus and Antioch, speaking the word to no one except Jews. Acts.11.20 But there were some of them, men of Cyprus and Cyrene, who on coming to Antioch spoke to the Hellenists also, preaching the Lord Jesus. Acts.11.22 The report of this came to the ears of the church in Jerusalem, and they sent Barnabas to Antioch. Acts.11.26 and when he had found him, he brought him to Antioch. For a whole year they met with the church and taught a great many people. And in Antioch the disciples were first called Christians. Acts.11.27 Now in these days prophets came down from Jerusalem to Antioch.

Acts.13.1 Now there were in the church at Antioch prophets and teachers, Barnabas, Simeon who was called Niger, Lucius of Cyrene, Manaen a member of the court of Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.

Acts.13.14 but they went on from Perga and came to Antioch in Pisidia. And on the Sabbath day they went into the synagogue and sat down.

Acts.14.19 But Jews came from Antioch and Iconium, and having persuaded the crowds, they stoned Paul and dragged him out of the city, supposing that he was dead. Acts.14.21 When they had preached the gospel to that city and had made many disciples, they returned to Lystra and to Iconium and to Antioch, Acts.14.26 and from there they sailed to Antioch, where they had been commended to the grace of God for the work that they had fulfilled.

Acts.15.22 Then it seemed good to the apostles and the elders, with the whole church, to choose men from among them and send them to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas. They sent Judas called Barsabbas, and Silas, leading men among the brothers, Acts.15.23 with the following letter: “The brothers, both the apostles and the elders, to the brothers who are of the Gentiles in Antioch and Syria and Cilicia, greetings. Acts.15.30 So when they were sent off, they went down to Antioch, and having gathered the congregation together, they delivered the letter. Acts.15.35 But Paul and Barnabas remained in Antioch, teaching and preaching the word of the Lord, with many others also.

Acts.18.22 When he had landed at Caesarea, he went up and greeted the church, and then went down to Antioch.
