"And the hand of he Lord was with them: and a great number believing, were converted to the Lord.
And the tidings came to the ears of the church that was at Jerusalem, touching these things: and they sent Barnabas as far as Antioch.
Who, when he was come and had seen the grace of God, rejoiced. And he exhorted them all with purpose of heart to continue in the Lord.
For he was a good man and full of the Holy Ghost and of faith. And a great multitude was added to the Lord.
And Barnabas went to Tarsus to seek Saul: whom, when he had found, he brought to Antioch.
And they conversed there in the church a whole year: and they taught a great multitude, so that at Antioch the disciples were first named Christians.
Now there were in the church which was at Antioch prophets and doctors, among whom was Barnabas and Simon who was called Niger, and Lucius of Cyrene and Manahen who was the foster brother of Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.
And as they were ministering to the Lord and fasting, the Holy Ghost said to them: Separate me Saul and Barnabas, for the work whereunto I have taken them.
Then they fasting and praying and imposing their hands upon them, sent them away."
Acts 11.21-26, 13.1-3

"A psalm for David himself. Sing ye to the Lord a new canticle: because he hath done wonderful things. His right hand hath wrought for him salvation, and his arm is holy.
The Lord hath made known his salvation: he hath revealed his justice in the sight of the Gentiles.
He hath remembered his mercy and his truth toward the house of Israel. All the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God.
Sing joyfully to God, all the earth; make melody, rejoice and sing.
Sing praise to the Lord on the harp, on the harp, and with the voice of a psalm:
With long trumpets, and sound of cornet. Make a joyful noise before the Lord our king:"
Psalm 98.1-6

"And going, preach, saying: The kingdom of heaven is at hand.
Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers, cast out devils: freely have you received, freely give.
Do not possess gold, nor silver, nor money in your purses:
Nor scrip for your journey, nor two coats, nor shoes, nor a staff; for the workman is worthy of his meat.
And into whatsoever city or town you shall enter, inquire who in it is worthy, and there abide till you go thence.
And when you come into the house, salute it, saying: Peace be to this house.
And if that house be worthy, your peace shall come upon it; but if it be not worthy, your peace shall return to you."
Matthew 10.7-13
