'Work' in the Bible

While they were ministering to the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, “Set apart for Me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them.”

‘Behold, you scoffers, and marvel, and perish;For I am accomplishing a work in your days,A work which you will never believe, though someone should describe it to you.’”

From there they sailed to Antioch, from which they had been commended to the grace of God for the work that they had accomplished.

But Paul kept insisting that they should not take him along who had deserted them in Pamphylia and had not gone with them to the work.
