Can you give me a brief summary of Acts 11:28-30 please?

1 answer

In Acts 11:28-30, a prophet named Agabus predicted a severe famine that would spread throughout the Roman world. In response to this prophecy, the disciples in Antioch decided to send relief aid to their brothers and sisters in Judea. They gathered funds and sent their donation to the elders of the church in Judea by the hands of Barnabas and Saul (later known as Paul). This passage illustrates the early Christian community's solidarity and willingness to support each other in times of need.
