Manaen is a Christian teacher in Antioch who had been brought up with Herod Antipas. He belongs to the prophetic and teaching community from which the Gentile mission is launched. First appears in Acts 13:1.1
AI summary: Manaen matters because his single cross reference places a court-connected believer inside the worshiping community that sends Barnabas and Saul. The entry shows the surprising social breadth of the early church and the way God gathers people from very different backgrounds into one mission. Taken together, the material presents Manaen as a teacher in Antioch's missionary church.1
