Paul and Barnabus were set apart in Antioch by the Holy Spirit in the thirteenth year after the Lord's Passion. Going up to Jerusalem, to Peter and James, who laid hands on them, they set out to preach in the fourteenth year. After they had separated, Paul (after a long time preaching) came to Rome. After twelve years of free custody under Nero, in the fourteenth year of Nero's reign, he was killed on the same day as Peter.
