And Barnabas went forth to Tarsus, to seek for Saul,

And in those days there came from Jerusalem prophets to Antioch,

and one of them, by name Agabus, having stood up, did signify through the Spirit a great dearth is about to be throughout all the world -- which also came to pass in the time of Claudius Caesar --
