Even in the ancient world, news traveled fast. The city of Antioch is three hundred miles north of Jerusalem, but it wasn’t long before the Jewish Christians in Jerusalem heard about the new things happening there. Apparently, some of the Jewish disciples from Cyprus and Cyrene were preaching the good news to non-Jews in the city. Luke tells us that “the hand of the Lord was with them and a great number who believed turned to the Lord” (Acts 11:21).
