New Testament
Manaen
A prophet and teacher in the church at Antioch who was raised alongside Herod Antipas.
Manaen is identified in Acts 13:1 as a leader in the Antioch church, serving alongside figures like Barnabas and Saul. The Greek term syntrophos suggests he was a foster brother or close companion of Herod Antipas, the tetrarch. His presence highlights the diverse social backgrounds of the early church members who were united by the gospel.
