1 Barnabas, Simeon (called the Black), Lucius (from Cyrene), Manaen (a close friend of Herod since childhood), and Saul were prophets and teachers in the church in Antioch. 2 While they were worshiping the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, |Set Barnabas and Saul apart for me. I want them to do the work for which I called them.| 3 After fasting and praying, Simeon, Lucius, and Manaen placed their hands on Barnabas and Saul, and released them [from their work in Antioch].
