1 Now there were several prophets and teachers in the church of Antioch, as Barnabas, Simeon surnam'd Niger, Lucius of Cyrene, Manaen who had been brought up with Herod the tetrarch, and Saul. 2 as they were ministring to the Lord, and fasting, the holy spirit said to them, separate me Barnabas and Saul, for the work to which I have destin'd them. 3 accordingly, after having fasted and prayed they gave them imposition of hands, and dismiss'd them. 4 being thus appointed missionarys by the holy spirit, they went to Seleucia, where they embark'd for Cyprus. 5 when they were arrived at Salamis, they preach'd the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews, and had John for their assistant. 6 Having travers'd the isle as far as to Paphos, they found a Jew there nam'd Barjesus, who was a false prophet and magician: Acts 13:1-6, Mace New Testament.
