Preparing for the Mission Field

13 In the church that was at Antioch there were prophets and teachers: Barnabas, Simeon who was called Niger, Lucius the Cyrenian, Manaen, a close friend of Herod the tetrarch,^(A) and Saul.

² As they were ministering to^[a] the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, “Set apart for Me Barnabas and Saul for the work I have called them to.”^{(B) 3} Then after they had fasted, prayed, and laid hands on them, they sent them off.^(C)
