Acts of the Apostles

On an appointed day, Herod dressed himself in royal clothing, sat on the throne, and gave a speech to them.

The people shouted, "The voice of a god, and not of a man!"

Immediately an angel of the Lord struck him, because he didn't give God the glory, and he was eaten by worms, and he died.

But the word of God grew and multiplied.

Barnabas and Saul returned to Jerusalem, when they had fulfilled their service, also taking with them John whose surname was Mark.

Now in the assembly that was at Antioch there were some prophets and teachers: Barnabas, Simeon who was called Niger, Lucius of Cyrene, Manaen the foster-brother of Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.

As they served the Lord and fasted, the Holy Spirit said, "Separate Barnabas and Saul for me, for the work to which I have called them."

Then, when they had fasted and prayed and laid their hands on them, they sent them away.

So, being sent out by the Holy Spirit, they went down to Seleucia. From there they sailed to Cyprus.

When they were at Salamis, they proclaimed the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews. They had also John as their attendant.
