Barnabas

“Now in the church at Antioch there were prophets and teachers: Barnabas, Simeon called Niger, Lucius of Cyrene, Manaen (who had been brought up with Herod the tetrarch), and Saul.”

“But when the apostles Barnabas and Paul found out about this, they tore their clothes and rushed into the crowd, shouting,”

“Joseph, a Levite from Cyprus, whom the apostles called Barnabas (meaning Son of Encouragement),”

“sold a field he owned, brought the money, and laid it at the apostles’ feet.”

“One night, however, his disciples took him and lowered him in a basket through a window in the wall.”

“This they did, sending their gifts to the elders with Barnabas and Saul.”

“When Barnabas and Saul had fulfilled their mission to Jerusalem, they returned, bringing with them John, also called Mark.”

“At Iconium, Paul and Barnabas went as usual into the Jewish synagogue, where they spoke so well that a great number of Jews and Greeks believed.”
