Worship here implies a communal gathering, likely involving prayer, singing, and reading of Scripture. Fasting, a practice rooted in Jewish tradition, signifies humility and dependence on God. This setting underscores the seriousness and devotion of the church in Antioch, a key center for early Christianity. The act of fasting often accompanied significant spiritual events, as seen in the Old Testament (e.g., Esther 4:16) and in Jesus' own ministry ( Matthew 4:2). the Holy Spirit said
The Holy Spirit's direct communication highlights His active role in guiding the early church. This divine intervention emphasizes the Trinity's involvement in church affairs, with the Spirit acting as a counselor and guide (John 14:26). The Spirit's voice here is authoritative, indicating a clear and unmistakable directive. This moment reflects the fulfillment of Jesus' promise that the Spirit would lead His followers into all truth (John 16:13). Set apart for Me Barnabas and Saul
The phrase "set apart" indicates a divine selection for a specific purpose, echoing the Old Testament practice of consecrating individuals for God's work (e.g.,Jeremiah 1:5). Barnabas and Saul (later Paul) were chosen for a mission that would expand the church's reach beyond Jewish communities. Barnabas, known for his encouragement and leadership, and Saul, a former persecutor turned apostle, were uniquely equipped for this task. Their selection underscores God's sovereignty in choosing and equipping His servants. for the work to which I have called them
This work refers to the missionary journeys that would spread the Gospel to the Gentile world, fulfilling the Great Commission (Matthew 28:19-20). The calling is both specific and divine, indicating that God had prepared Barnabas and Saul for this mission. Their work would involve preaching, teaching, and establishing churches, as seen in subsequent chapters of Acts. This calling also reflects the prophetic nature of God's plan, as the inclusion of Gentiles was foretold in the Old Testament (Isaiah 49:6). Persons / Places / Events 1. BarnabasA key figure in the early church, known for his encouragement and support of new believers, including Saul (Paul). He was a Levite from Cyprus and played a significant role in the spread of the Gospel. 2. Saul (Paul)Originally a persecutor of Christians, Saul experienced a dramatic conversion and became one of the most influential apostles, spreading the Gospel to the Gentiles. 3. Holy SpiritThe third person of the Trinity, who actively guides and empowers believers. In this passage, the Holy Spirit speaks directly to the church leaders, indicating divine direction. 4. AntiochA major city in ancient Syria, known for its diverse population and as a significant center for early Christianity. It was here that believers were first called "Christians." 5. Worshiping and FastingSpiritual disciplines practiced by the early church to seek God's guidance and presence. These practices created an environment receptive to the Holy Spirit's leading. Teaching Points The Role of the Holy SpiritThe Holy Spirit is active in guiding and directing the church. Believers should cultivate sensitivity to His leading through prayer and fasting. The Importance of Spiritual DisciplinesWorship and fasting are vital practices that help believers focus on God and discern His will. These disciplines should be incorporated into our spiritual lives. God's Calling and MissionGod calls individuals to specific tasks and missions. Like Barnabas and Saul, we should be open to God's calling and ready to respond in obedience. Community and ConfirmationThe church community plays a crucial role in recognizing and confirming God's calling on individuals. We should seek and value the input of our spiritual community. Diversity in MinistryThe church in Antioch was diverse, reflecting the universal nature of the Gospel. We should embrace diversity in our ministries and reach out to all people.

Their worship was not a brief formality; it was a deliberate season of ministering to the Lord. • Worship and fasting partner well. InLuke 2:37 Anna “never left the temple, but worshiped night and day, fasting and praying,” showing that fasting sharpens spiritual focus. • The whole church—not merely its leaders—participated, echoingActs 1:14 where “all with one accord were devoting themselves to prayer.” • Fasting is voluntary sacrifice that says, “God, You are my sustenance” (Deuteronomy 8:3). It creates an environment where hearts are tender, distractions fade, and the voice of God is more readily discerned (Jeremiah 29:13).
the Holy Spirit saidHere the Spirit speaks audibly or prophetically: “the Holy Spirit said.” • Scripture portrays the Spirit as a personal, speaking Being (John 16:13;Acts 8:29). • His speaking in a worship context reminds us that corporate gatherings are fertile ground for divine direction (1 Corinthians 14:26). • The Spirit guides mission, not merely individuals. The church hears together, underscoring shared discernment and accountability (Acts 15:28).
Set apart for Me Barnabas and SaulThe Spirit’s instruction is precise: “Set apart for Me Barnabas and Saul.” • “Set apart” recalls Old Testament consecration, such as the Levites being “set apart for the LORD” (Numbers 8:14). It conveys ownership—these men belong to God’s purposes. • Barnabas and Saul had already proven faithful (Acts 11:22–26; 12:25). God often commissions those already serving. • The call came publicly, confirming individual guidance Saul had received earlier (“the Lord said… ‘he is a chosen vessel of Mine’”Acts 9:15). Public affirmation protects against solitary presumption (Proverbs 11:14).
for the workThe Spirit is not vague: He points to “the work.” • Ministry is work—purposeful, demanding labor (1 Thessalonians 3:5;1 Corinthians 15:58). • The “work” here is missionary outreach that will open the gospel to Gentile regions (Acts 13–14). This fulfillsActs 1:8, “you will be My witnesses… to the ends of the earth.” • By specifying work, the Spirit reminds the church that calling is not status but service (Mark 10:45).
to which I have called themGod’s call precedes human commissioning. “to which I have called them” shows the Spirit already laid claim to their future. • Paul later writes, “Paul, a servant of Christ Jesus, called to be an apostle” (Romans 1:1), reflecting this moment. • Divine calling is irrevocable (Romans 11:29) and anchored in grace “before time began” (2 Timothy 1:9). • The church’s role is to recognize and release, not originate, the call (2 Corinthians 8:19).
summaryActs 13:2 reveals a worshiping, fasting church hearing the Spirit’s clear voice and obediently setting apart proven servants for a defined mission. God speaks amid earnest devotion, personally directs His people, and calls individuals to labor that advances the gospel. Our task is to cultivate the same atmosphere—wholehearted worship, corporate sensitivity, and readiness to release laborers for the work He has already prepared. (2) As they ministered to the Lord.--The verb so translated ( leitourgein) is commonly used, both in the LXX. and in the Now Testament, of the ministry of the priests and Levites in the Temple ( Luke 1:23; Hebrews 8:6; Hebrews 9:21). In Hebrews 1:14, the corresponding adjective is used to distinguish the ministry of worship from that of service to man. When St. Paul uses it figuratively of himself ( Romans 15:16), it is in connection with the idea of a sacrifice or oblation. In later ecclesiastical language, it was connected specially with the celebration of the Supper of the Lord, and the order for that service was, strictly speaking, the "Liturgy" of the Church. It would, perhaps, be too much to say that the word necessarily conveys that meaning here; but it is, at least, probable that a solemn meeting, such as is here described, would end in the "breaking of bread," and that, up to that point, those who were so engaged would naturally be fasting. The Holy Ghost said.--The mode of communication we may believe to have been, as inActs 20:23, through the lips of the prophets, speaking as by a sudden burst of simultaneous inspiration. (Comp.1Timothy 1:18.) . . . Verse 2.- And as for as, A.V. They ministered; i.e. not, as Meyer explains it, the whole Church, but the prophets and teachers, doubtless at an assembly of the Church. The word λειτουργούντων, here rendered "they ministered" (from which the word "Liturgy" is derived), signifies any solemn ministration or holy service. In the Old Testament the LXX. use it as the rendering of שֵׁרֵת, to minister (often with the addition "to God," or "to the Lord "), which is a general word applying to the ministrations of priests and Levites ( Exodus 28:35; Numbers 8:26, etc.). Hence its use in Hebrews 10:11 (see too Luke 1:23; Hebrews 9:21). Joshua too is called Moses'minister ( מְשָׁרֵת) in Joshua 1:1, etc., and the angels are called λριτουργικὰ πνεύματα, "ministering spirits" ( Hebrews 1:14). Just as the Church transferred from the Jewish congregation so many other words and things, so also the use of the words λειτουργία λειτουργεῖν, to Sicily "Divine service," without specifying the particular office, whether prayer, or preaching, or Holy Communion, or ordination, or any ether part of the worship of God. Its classical use was to designate any office performed by an individual for the public good. Hence in the New Testament its application to Church alms ( 2 Corinthians 9:12), to gifts for the support of the ministry ( Philippians 2:30), to the office of magistrates ( Romans 13:6), etc. The restricted application of the term λειτουργία to the service used in the celebration of the Eucharist was of much later growth, as is evident from Chrysostom explaining the word here of preaching. "What means ministering? Preaching" (Hom. 27.). It seems to have arisen from the fact that the first forms of prayer were those come posed for the office of the Holy Communion. This passage, therefore, does not give the slightest support to fasting Communion. What was the exact occasion of the service and fast here spoken of it is impossible to say. The Holy Ghost said, etc. This is the origin of the question in the Ordination of Deacons, "Do you trust that you are inwardly moved by the Holy Ghost to take upon you this office?" Separate me ( ἀφορίσατε). The act of separation, or ordination, would be by the laying on of the hands of Symeon and Lucius and Manaen, as Chrysostom says (at least of the two last named), in the presence of the whole Church, but the separation by the Holy Ghost, at least as regards Saul ( ὁ ἀφορίσας με), bad been from his mother's womb ( Galatians 1:15). Observe, too, the καλέσας of Galatians 1:15, and the προσκέκλημαι here. This is another instance of the very close resemblance between parts of the Acts and the Epistle to the Galatians, which looks as if St. Paul was writing it about the same time as he was giving to St. Luke the details of his own history (see Acts 8:19, note). The ordination was to the apostolate (Chrysostom). Barnabas and Saul are never called apostles till after their ordination or consecration ( Acts 14:14).
