Abstract: The synchronic interpretation of Acts 11:27-30, which is the content of this article, examines various relationships between the internal segments of the pericope within the broader context of the Acts of the Apostles, demonstrating its organic position within this New Testament writing. The narration of the material aid from the Antiochian Christians, initiated by a prophetic prediction and addressed to the Jerusalem church, is a precious testimony to the first concrete manifestation of inter-community solidarity of faith between the believing communities of the two largest centres in the earliest history of the Church.
