The Christians in Antioch [46-09]
Some believers who fled from the persecution in Jerusalem went far away to the city of Antioch and preached about Jesus. Most of the people in Antioch were not Jews, but for the first time, very many of them also became believers. Barnabas and Saul went there to teach these new believers more about Jesus and to strengthen the church. It was at Antioch that believers in Jesus were first called “Christians.”
当扫罗起来的时候，他的眼睛看不见，只能被人引路至大马士革城。扫罗三天没有吃也没有喝。
