So after fasting and praying they laid their hands on them and sent them off.
In context
1In the church at Antioch there were prophets and teachers: Barnabas, Simeon called Niger, Lucius of Cyrene, Manaen (who had been brought up with Herod the tetrarch) and Saul. 2While they were worshiping the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, “Set apart for me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them.” 3So after fasting and praying they laid their hands on them and sent them off. 4Sent out by the Holy Spirit, the two went down to Seleucia and from there sailed to Cyprus. 5Arriving at Salamis, they proclaimed the word of God in the Jewish synagogues; and they had John with them as their helper.
