Acts 12:25-13:3
Wycliffe Bible
25 And Barnabas and Saul turned again from Jerusalem, when the ministry was filled [Forsooth Barnabas and Saul turned again from Jerusalem, the ministry fulfilled], and took John, that was named Mark.
13 And prophets and doctors were in the church that was at Antioch [Forsooth there were in the church that was at Antioch, prophets and doctors], in which Barnabas, and Simon, that was called Black, and Lucius Cyreneus, and Manaen, that was the foster-brother of Herod tetrarch [that was the suckling-fr�¨re of Herod tetrarch], and Saul were.
2 And when they ministered to the Lord, and fasted, the Holy Ghost said to them, Separate ye to me Saul and Barnabas [Part ye to me Saul and Barnabas], into the work to which I have taken them.
3 Then they fasted, and prayed, and laid hands on them, and let them go.
Acts 12:25-13:3
1599 Geneva Bible
25 So Barnabas and Saul returned from Jerusalem, when they had fulfilled their office, and took with them John, whose surname was Mark.
13 2 The holy Ghost commandeth that Paul and Barnabas be separated unto him. 6 At Paphos, 8 Elymas the sorcerer 11 is stricken blind: 14 From whence being come to Antioch, 17 They preach the Gospel, 45 the Jews vehemently withstanding them.
1 There [a]were also in the Church that was at Antioch, certain Prophets and teachers, as Barnabas, and Simeon called Niger, and Lucius of Cyrene, and Manaen (which had been brought up with [b]Herod the Tetrarch) and Saul.
2 Now as they [c]ministered to the Lord, and fasted, the holy Ghost said, Separate me Barnabas and Saul, for the work whereunto I have [d]called them.
3 [e]Then fasted they and prayed, and laid their hands on them, and let them go.
