Acts 11:19-26

[19] Now  they which were scattered abroad  upon  the persecution  that arose  about  Stephen  travelled  as far as  Phenice,  and  Cyprus,  and  Antioch,  preaching  the word  to none  unto the Jews  only.  [20] And  some  of  them  men  of Cyprus  and  Cyrene,  which,  to  Antioch,  spake  unto  the Grecians,  preaching  the Lord  Jesus.  [21] And  the hand  of the Lord  with  them:  and  a great  number  believed,  and turned  unto  the Lord.  [22] Then  tidings  of  these things  came  unto  the ears  of the church  which  was in  and  they sent forth  Barnabas,  that he should go  as far as  Antioch.  [23] Who,  when he came,  and  the grace  of God,  was glad,  and  exhorted  them all,  that with purpose  of heart  they would cleave unto  the Lord.  [24] For  a good  man,  and  full  of the Holy  Ghost  and  of faith:  and  much  people  was added  unto the Lord.  [25] Then  departed  to  Tarsus,  for to seek  Saul:  [26] And  when he had found  him,  he brought  him  unto  Antioch.  And  it came to pass,  that a whole  year  they  assembled themselves  with  the church,  and  taught  much  people.  And  the disciples  were called  Christians  in  Antioch.
