<p>11:27 <i>Now in these days there came down prophets from Jerusalem to Antioch</i>- One of them predicted a famine which would affect &quot;all the world&quot; (:28); yet the Antioch brethren gathered funds to send to Jerusalem to relieve &quot;the believers that lived in Judea&quot; (:29). Inevitably one wonders whether these prophets asked for material support in view of the predicted famine. And yet if they were predicting a world-wide famine, which would affect Antioch as much as Jerusalem, why was support only sent for the brethren in Judea / Jerusalem? Perhaps it was in order to demonstrate unity with different brethren of a different culture and ethnicity, and was therefore done in absolute selflessness, seeing that Antioch was presumably going to suffer as well.</p>
