1 Now there were in the church at Antioch 1prophets and 2teachers, 3Barnabas, Simeon who was called Niger,[a] Lucius of Cyrene, Manaen a member of the court of 4Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.

While they were worshiping the Lord and fasting, 5the Holy Spirit said, 6"Set apart for me Barnabas and Saul 7for the work to which I have called them."
3
Then after fasting and 8praying they laid their hands on them and 9sent them off.
