Acts 13:1-3

Barnabas and Saul Sent Out from Antioch

1 Now there were prophets and teachers in Antioch in the church that was there: Barnabas, and Simeon (who was called Niger), and Lucius the Cyrenian, and Manaen (a close friend of Herod the tetrarch), and Saul.
2 And [while] they were serving the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, "Set apart now for me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them."
3 Then, [after they] had fasted and prayed and placed [their] hands on them, they sent [them] away.
