Manaen was one of the prophets and teachers in the church at Antioch, listed alongside Barnabas, Simeon called Niger, Lucius of Cyrene, and Saul, the group that laid hands on Barnabas and Saul to send them out on what became the first missionary journey (Acts 13:1-3). Luke notes that Manaen had been brought up together with Herod Antipas, the tetrarch who executed John the Baptist, a striking contrast between two men raised in the same household who took very different paths.
