of a god, and not of a man! (23)And immediately an
angel of the Lord smote him, because he gave not glory to God; and he
was eaten by worms, and expired.

(24)But the word of God grew and multiplied. (25)And Barnabas and Saul
returned from Jerusalem, having performed the service, taking with
them also John, who was surnamed Mark.

AND there were at Antioch, in the church that was there, prophets and
teachers; Barnabas, and Simeon who was called Niger, and Lucius the
Cyrenean, and Manaen the foster-brother of Herod the tetrarch, and
Saul.

(2)And while they were ministering to the Lord, and fasting, the Holy
Spirit said: Set apart for me Barnabas and Saul, unto the work to

Pisidia; and entering into the synagogue on the sabbath day, they sat
