Acts 11:26 - Additional Comments

Paul had come to Jerusalem, and Barnabas had welcomed him there. Now Barnabas goes to Paul's town, and Paul welcomed him there. They travelled down to the church in Antioch, as Paul was probably in Tarsus because that was his home town, but they probably did not have a church there. They travelled down to the church in Antioch, not far from Tarsus. Barnabas may have recognized Paul's potential, so he wanted him involved in the church at Antioch. It became a thriving church, probably in part due to the time Paul and Barnabas put into it. They discipled the people in the Antioch church.
Note that in addition to "the church" and "believers", they are now also called Christians.
