OET (OET-RV) and when he found him, he brought him back to Antioch. Then for a whole year they met with the assembly and regularly taught a large crowd. It was there in Antioch that the believers were first called Christians.
Note 1 topic: writing-pronouns
εὑρὼν ἤγαγεν
/having/_found_‹him› ˱he˲_brought_‹him›
The pronoun he refers to Barnabas, and the pronoun him refers to Saul. Alternate translation: “and having found Saul, Barnabas brought him”
ἐγένετο δὲ αὐτοῖς καὶ ἐνιαυτὸν ὅλον συναχθῆναι ἐν τῇ ἐκκλησίᾳ
˱it˲_became and ˱to˲_them also /a/_year whole /to_be/_gathered_together in the assembly
This wording suggests that Barnabas and Saul did not know initially how long they would be meeting with the church in Antioch, but in the end it amounted to a whole year. If it would be clearer in your language, you could express it that way. Alternate translation: “in the end they were gathered together with the church for an entire year”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
αὐτοῖς & συναχθῆναι ἐν τῇ ἐκκλησίᾳ
˱to˲_them & /to_be/_gathered_together in the assembly
If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “they gathered together with the church”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
χρηματίσαι & πρώτως & τοὺς μαθητὰς
/to/_call & first & the disciples
If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “people first called the disciples”
Note 4 topic: translate-names
Χριστιανούς
Christians
The word Christians is a name for people who believe that Jesus is the Christ, that is, the Messiah.
πρώτως ἐν Ἀντιοχείᾳ
first in Antioch
Alternate translation: “for the first time in Antioch”
11:26 Christians was possibly a term of derision. The Greek text uses this term in only two other New Testament passages (26:28; 1 Pet 4:16).

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
