At this time the followers of Jesus were being persecuted in Jerusalem. Many of them had fled to other places where it was safer. Some of them went to Antioch.
They told the people of Antioch about Jesus and many of the people of Antioch became followers of Jesus too. Barnabas went there to help and he was very pleased about how many people were becoming Jesus's followers. He went to Tarsus to look for Saul. When he had found him he brought him to Antioch. Saul and Barnabas lived there for two years.
The people of Antioch got a new name for the followers of Jesus. They called them "Christians". This was the first time the word "Christians" was used.
One day, as they were worshiping God, God's Holy Spirit made them understand that Barnabas
and Paul should leave them and go and tell people in other places about Jesus. The people of Antioch prayed to God for Paul and Barnabas and then the two of them left.
