Hechos 13 CEB

We begin with the church at Antioch. I guess one question to start out with is. Why does Luke list five people from the leadership of the Antioch, church. The first and the last members of this group are Barnabas and Saul, who, then our key characters in this story. The second person in the list, Simeon, Nick named Niger could be the very Simeon from Sirene, who carried the Jesus Cross in the book of Luke. Maybe he isn’t. But manean that he is a. Childhood friend of HEROD, the Tetrarch. Heads, family HEROD family is a key part of the last part of this book of hechos. What about that middle person Lucius from cyrene.?Tradition says that Luke from Antioch wrote these two books. Well in chapter 13 here. We have evidence that there was a Lucius, which could also be Luke from Antioch, but he was originally from CYRENE.
