Antioch
Today: Antakya (Antioch on the Orontes), Turkey
An important city of Syria, about 15 miles (25 km) inland from the Mediterranean, in present-day Turkey. There was another Antioch in Pisidia, in central Turkey today.
There the disciples were first called "Christians" (Acts 11:26). The assembly sent Paul and Barnabas out from there on their first journey (Acts 13:1-3).
The context
25And after speaking the word in Perga, they went down to Attalia.
26 · This verse (above)
27And when they arrived and gathered together the assembly, they reported all that God had done with them, and that he had opened to the nations a door of faith.

3. How I live it
Paul and Barnabas encouraged the disciples to stay firm through hardship (v. 22). How can you encourage someone going through a hard time?
