Acts 13:1-4

Barnabas and Saul sent to minister

1 The church at Antioch included prophets and teachers: Barnabas, Simeon (nicknamed Niger), Lucius from Cyrene, Manaen (a childhood friend of Herod the ruler), and Saul.

2 As they were worshipping the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, "Appoint Barnabas and Saul to the work I have called them to undertake."

3 After they fasted and prayed, they laid their hands on these two and sent them off.

Serving in Cyprus

4 After the Holy Spirit sent them on their way, they went down to Seleucia. From there they sailed to Cyprus.
