New Testament

Acts Chapter 11

   

When Peter's colleagues in Jerusalem heard he
Had gone to the Gentiles, they was an inquiry!
Peter told how the Holy Ghost had come - how odd -
On the latter! Then they changed, and glorified God!
Persecuted, some to Syria had dispersed
To Antioch - many Greeks were saved there, where first
Saints were called "Christians". Thence Spirit-filled Barnabas
Came from Jerusalem, and brought Saul from Tarsus.
Prophets came from Jerusalem too - Agabus
Foretold a drought, which, in the reign of Claudius
Caesar came to pass; the saints thus gathered food all,
To send to Judaea by Barnabas and Saul.
