Paul’s 1st visit to Act 11:28 And there stood up one of them named
Agabus, and signified by the Spirit that there should be great dearth
throughout all the world: which came to pass in the days of Claudius Caesar. Act 11:29 Then the disciples, every man according to
his ability, determined to send relief unto the brethren which dwelt in Act 11:30 Which also they did, and sent it to the
elders by the hands of Barnabas and Saul. Act 12:25 And Barnabas and Saul returned from Gal 1:17 Neither went I up to Gal 1:18 Then after three
years I went up to Gal 1:19 But other of the apostles saw I none, save
James the Lord's brother. |
