Gevurot 13:1-5 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

1. Now there was in Antioch there among the Moshiach's Kehillah nevi'im and morim: Bar-Nabba, and Shimon called Niger, and Lucius from Cyrene, and Menachem (brought up with Herod the tetrarch) and Rav Sha'ul.

2. They were ministering to Adonoi and under a tzom when the Ruach Hakodesh said to them, "Set apart for Me Bar-Nabba and Sha'ul for the avodas kodesh ministry to which I have called them." [DIVREY HAYAMIM BAIS 13:10; 35:3; YECHEZKEL 40:46; 44:16; 45:4]

3. Then, having continued the tzom and having davened and having laid their hands upon them, they sent them off.

4. They, then, having been sent out by the Ruach Hakodesh, went down to Seleucia, and from there sailed away to Cyprus.

5. Having arrived in Salamis, they were proclaiming the dvar Hashem in the shuls, with Yochanan Markos also as ozer (helper).
