안디옥
Named at Acts 11:19, which says that those who were scattered abroad by the oppression that arose about Stephen traveled as far as Phoenicia, Cyprus, and Antioch, speaking the word to no one except to Jews only. At 11:20–21 some men of Cyprus and Cyrene, when they had come to Antioch, spoke to the Hellenists, preaching the Lord Jesus, and a great number believed and turned to the Lord; at 11:22–26 the assembly in Jerusalem sent out Barnabas to go as far as Antioch, and Barnabas brought Saul from Tarsus to Antioch, where for a whole year they were gathered together with the assembly and taught many people, and the disciples were first called Christians in Antioch. At 11:27 prophets come down from Jerusalem to Antioch; at 13:1–3 there are prophets and teachers in the assembly that is at Antioch, and when the Holy Spirit says, “Separate Barnabas and Saul for me,” Barnabas and Saul are sent away with hands laid on them; and at 14:26–27, sailing from Attalia, they come to Antioch, from where they had been committed to the grace of God for the work which they had fulfilled, gather the assembly together, and report all the things that God had done with them, and that he had opened a door of faith to the nations. Acts 15:22 says that the apostles and the elders, with the whole assembly, chose Judas called Barsabbas and Silas and sent them to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas, and the letter of 15:23 is to “the brothers who are of the Gentiles in Antioch, Syria, and Cilicia”; at 15:30–35 those who were sent come to Antioch and deliver the letter, and Paul and Barnabas stay in Antioch, teaching and preaching the word of the Lord, with many others also; and at 18:18–22 Paul, having sailed for Syria, lands at Caesarea, goes up and greets the assembly, and goes down to Antioch.

22Then it seemed good to the apostles and the elders, with the whole assembly, to choose men out of their company, and send them to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas: Judas called Barsabbas, and Silas, chief men among the brothers.
23They wrote these things by their hand: “The apostles, the elders, and the brothers, to the brothers who are of the Gentiles in Antioch, Syria, and Cilicia: greetings.
24Because we have heard that some who went out from us have troubled you with words, unsettling your souls, saying, ‘You must be circumcised and keep the law,’ to whom we gave no commandment;
25it seemed good to us, having come to one accord, to choose out men and send them to you with our beloved Barnabas and Paul,
26men who have risked their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
27We have sent therefore Judas and Silas, who themselves will also tell you the same things by word of mouth.
28For it seemed good to the Holy Spirit, and to us, to lay no greater burden on you than these necessary things:
29that you abstain from things sacrificed to idols, from blood, from things strangled, and from sexual immorality, from which if you keep yourselves, it will be well with you. Farewell.”
- ACT 15:30–33, engwebp
30So, when they were sent off, they came to Antioch. Having gathered the multitude together, they delivered the letter.

19He came to Ephesus, and he left them there; but he himself entered into the synagogue and reasoned with the Jews.
20When they asked him to stay with them a longer time, he declined;
21but taking his leave of them, he said, “I must by all means keep this coming feast in Jerusalem, but I will return again to you if God wills.” Then he set sail from Ephesus.
22When he had landed at Caesarea, he went up and greeted the assembly, and went down to Antioch.
23Having spent some time there, he departed and went through the region of Galatia and Phrygia, in order, establishing all the disciples.
- GAL 2:11–14, engwebp
11But when Peter came to Antioch, I resisted him to his face, because he stood condemned.
12For before some people came from James, he ate with the Gentiles. But when they came, he drew back and separated himself, fearing those who were of the circumcision.
13And the rest of the Jews joined him in his hypocrisy, so that even Barnabas was carried away with their hypocrisy.
14But when I saw that they didn’t walk uprightly according to the truth of the Good News, I said to Peter before them all, “If you, being a Jew, live as the Gentiles do, and not as the Jews do, why do you compel the Gentiles to live as the Jews do?
