25 Barnabas and Saul came back [a]from Jerusalem when they had completed their mission, bringing with them John, who was also called Mark.(A)

First Missionary Journey

13 Now in the church at Antioch there were prophets [who spoke a new message of God to the people] and teachers: Barnabas, Simeon who was called [b]Niger, Lucius of Cyrene, Manaen who had been brought up with [c]Herod [Antipas] the tetrarch, and Saul. While they were serving the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, “Set apart for Me Barnabas and Saul (Paul) for the work to which I have called them.” Then after fasting and praying, they laid their hands on them [in approval and dedication] and sent them away [on their first journey].
