Acts 11:22-24
Sent forth Barnabas. Barnabas was himself a Grecian Jew, also
the friend of Saul, another Grecian Jew (Acts 4:36 9:27). He was
chosen as a suitable man to go to Antioch and see whether there had
been a real work of the Lord. When he had seen that it was "the grace
of the Lord" (Acts 11:23), he rejoiced and gave it Godspeed, and the
work grew more and more in this great metropolis.

bounds of Palestine. It was to become the great missionary center for
the conversion of the Gentile world (Acts 13:1-3).
