Acts 11:25-26

Context
11:25 Then Barnabas departed for Tarsus to look for Saul, 11:26 and when he found him, he brought him to Antioch.¹ So² for a whole year Barnabas and Saul³ met with the church and taught a significant number of people.⁴ Now it was in Antioch⁵ that the disciples were first called Christians.⁶

¹sn Antioch was a city in Syria (not Antioch in Pisidia). See the note in 11:19.

²tn Grk “So it happened that” The introductory phrase ἐγένετο (egeneto, “it happened that”), common in Luke (69 times) and Acts (54 times), is redundant in contemporary English and has not been translated.

³tn Grk “year they”; the referents (Barnabas and Saul) have been specified in the translation for clarity.

⁴tn Grk “a significant crowd.”

⁵sn Antioch was a city in Syria (not Antioch in Pisidia). See the note in 11:19.

⁶sn The term Christians appears only here, in Acts 26:28, and 1 Pet 4:16 in the NT.
