WEDNESDAY SAINT BARNABAS 11 JUNE 2025 A reading from the Acts of the Apostles (11:20-22, 26) Some of the followers from Cyprus and Cyrene went to Antioch and started telling Gentiles the good news about the Lord Jesus. The Lord’s power was with them, and many people turned to the Lord and put their faith in him. News of what was happening reached the church in Jerusalem. Then they sent Barnabas to Antioch. There in Antioch the Lord’s followers were first called Christians. The word of the Lord. Thanks be to God. 96
