2. While they were ministering to the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, "Set apart for Me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them."
3. Then, when they had fasted and prayed and laid their hands on them, they sent them away.
4. So, being sent out by the Holy Spirit, they went down to Seleucia and from there they sailed to Cyprus.
5. When they reached Salamis, they began to proclaim the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews; and they also had John as their helper.
