Acts 13:1–7

*Now there were in the church that was at aAntioch certain bprophets and cteachers; as dBarnabas, and Simeon that was called Niger, and eLucius of fCyrene, and Manaen, ||gwhich had been brought up with hHerod the tetrarch, and iSaul. 2 As they kministered to the Lord, and lfasted, the Holy Ghost said, mSeparate me Barnabas and Saul for the work nwhereunto I have called them. 3 And when they had lfasted and oprayed, and olaid their hands on them, pthey sent them away. 4 So they, being sent forth qby the Holy Ghost, departed unto rSeleucia; and from thence they sailed to sCyprus. 5 And when they were at Salamis, they preached the word of God tin the synagogues of the Jews: and they had also uJohn to their minister. 6 And when they had gone through the isle unto xPaphos, they found ya certain sorcerer, a false prophet, a Jew, whose name was Bar-jesus: 7 Which was with the zdeputy of the country, Sergius Paulus, a aprudent man; who called for Barnabas and Saul, and desired to hear the word of God.
