Context
Acts 13:2 should be read within the flow of its chapter and the larger argument of Acts.
Common Interpretations
The word translated "ministering" here is leitourgeō. Notice the context: the gathered assembly is fasting and seeking God — not singing, not performing a service. Their ministry is described using priestly vocabulary, directed toward the Lord, and it produces revelation from the Holy Spirit. This is the language of sacred vocation applied to the ordinary gathered assembly. Every believer is a minister in this sense — not a spectator of ministry performed by others. The English word "liturgy" derives directly from leitourgeō — but the original sense was never about scripted ceremony. It was about sacred service rendered on behalf of the community.
