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.
4. Therefore, sent out by the Holy Spirit, they came down to Seleucia, and from there they sailed away to Cyprus.
