Apostlenes gjerninger 13,1

I menigheten i Antiokia var det profeter og lærere: Barnabas, Simeon som ble kalt Niger, Lucius fra Kyrene, Manaen (som hadde vokst opp med Herodes landsfyrsten), og Saulus.

2 Mens de tilba og fastet, tjente Herren, talte Den Hellige Ånd: "Sett av Barnabas og Saulus for meg, de skal gjøre det arbeidet jeg har kalt dem til."

3 Etter at de hadde fastet og bedt, la de hendene på dem og sendte dem av sted.

Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
