Barnabas and Saul were sent to Jerusalem -- Acts 11:27-30: In that year that Saul and Barnabas were at Antioch some Christian prophets came from Jerusalem. One of them named Agabus, predicted, by the Spirit of God, a famine throughout the entire world. This would be a terrible famine and it happened when Claudius was Emperor. The brethren at Antioch determined to send relief to the brethren in Judea. The Christians in Antioch decided to send whatever help they could to the followers of Christ in Judea.

Each Christian did what he or she could to relieve those that were suffering. Each person, whether rich or poor, master or servant, according to the substance he was possessed gave to help those that were in need. The gift was sent to the elders of the church in Judea to be given to the poor. The Christians at Antioch, in gratitude to the brethren in Judea for having received the Gospel through them resolved to help them with their physical needs. The contribution given by the brethren was sent by the hands of Barnabas and Saul.
