Acts 11:27-30

27 Now in these days prophets came down from Jerusalem to Antioch.28 And one of them named Agabus stood up and foretold by the Spirit that there would be a great famine over all the world (this took place in the days of Claudius).29 So the disciples determined, everyone according to his ability, to send relief to the brothers [1] living in Judea.30 And they did so, sending it to the elders by the hand of Barnabas and Saul.
