Acts 13:2

As they ministered. These men worshiped before the Lord, fasting, and no doubt asking for guidance in the extension of Christianity.

The Holy Ghost said. By an inspiration given to some one of these prophets. "God has spoken at sundry times and in divers manners unto the fathers by the one of these prophets" (Heb 1:1). Compare Ac 20:23.

Separate me Barnabas and Saul. Both had been tried and shown to be worthy. They are now, by Divine direction, to be formally consecrated to the work of preaching the gospel to the Gentiles. From this time Antioch is the great missionary center.

For the work whereunto I have called them. God called; men separated, or formally set apart.
