ACTS 11:22 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“Then tidings of these things came unto the ears of the church which was in Jerusalem: and they sent forth Barnabas, that he should go as far as Antioch.”
News of this reached the ears of the church at Jerusalem, and they sent Barnabas to Antioch.—the Jerusalem church's response is supervisory; Barnabas, not Peter or John, is sent as investigator/envoy. The choice of Barnabas (the encourager, Acts 4:36) suggests Jerusalem's openness to affirming new development. Antioch's distance from Jerusalem (about 300 miles) required sustained communication and delegation.
