1. NOW there were in the church which was at Antioch, prophets and doctors, among whom was Barnabas, and Simon who was called Niger, and Lucius of Cyrene, and Manahen, who was the foster brother of Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.
2. And as they were ministering to the Lord, and fasting, the Holy Ghost said to them: Separate me Saul and Barnabas, for the work whereunto I have taken them.
3. Then they, fasting and praying, and imposing their hands upon them, sent them away.
4. So they being sent by the Holy Ghost, went to Seleucia: and from thence they sailed to Cyprus.
